Today was a busy day. We left about 9AM for Iron Mtn. It was a seventy plus mile trip with lots of pretty lakes and countryside to look at. We stopped for gas at a gas station/ grocery store/bait shop. The combination of worms with food grossed me out! We went to the Yoopers Tourist Trap (That is what they call it.) Yoopers is pronounced you pers. We were in a parade that is supposed to be the world's longest. I don't know it they broke the record but I do know that it went to the towns of both Ishpeming & Negaunee and ended at a park for a BBQ. We went to the dome and saw a lot of very nice cars on display, including our own SSA members, Mike & Gwynneth Shotwell's car. Tomorrow we are doing the car games in the morning and then hitting the road. Don't know where but in the general direction of east or southeast. I have lots of pictures to share.
