The van is buttoned down, and we are ready to go...four hours of driving, and we will have reached our destination, Hatch Haven on Island #8, Cedarville, Michigan. CInda and I have driven 2,500 miles to get here, picking up Ada and Happy in Arizona. This pictured campsite was right on the shore of Lake Michigan, cool, green, quiet, and beautiful. We lost another hour as we entered Michigan...maybe that is why I am dog- tired tonight....or MAYBE it is because we arrived to a locked up, winterized and winter battered place, needing LOTS of work to get it habitable. We attacked the cook house first, getting electricity going, which starts the water pump, hot water, lights (the shutters, still in place, make it dark inside), the stove, refrigerator, etc. We have put in a long day, but tired as we are, Happy and Cinda are even more tired. They are both first timers to the island, and have cased the whole place, at a dead run! Tomorrow, with more energy, I will report on a surprise with Cinda. Right now, we'll say good night! Love, Liz
