Saturday june 27

No pics of Ann Arbor. the camera went dead. In any case there wasn't much to take interesting pics of. more later in blog.

I call these Pics Saturday night at Fords pond. This is the small lake where the Detroit/Greenfield KOA is located. As you can see from the pics its loaded with campers. All of them are having a good time. It may be a bad time, but this campground is loaded with campers, it almost sold out. maybe the sky is not falling after all.

The trip to Ann Arbor was interesting,but not great, On the way there I drove thru several sub-divisions looking at homes that might be forclosed or for sale. I would bet that there are more homes for sale in Wilmington than here. The ones i saw ,i probably could count on the ten fingers of my hands. I was really surprised.
Ann Arbor reminded me a lot of Ashville, in that they had revived their downtown with a lot of small sidewalk cafes and shops. The place was really busy. Lots of people there. Geneally the rest of the town was like most any medium size town. The University of Michigan is another story. It is spread all over town, The stadium , basketball field house and several athletic things were in what was called the west campus, the hospital and medical center were in a campus several miles away, the business school and some others were in what was call the center campus (it was all over a large area just away from downtdown).
The east campus was out to the east of town and had several things like the school of architecture, music school, and space research area. Also any number of research and development buildings spead over a very large campus. Most of them were hardly visible to each other. Buildings were very modern. I didnt think it was that great, although, i must say they had facilities for almost all areas of learning.
Nothing planned for tomorrow, little sightseeing in the area maybe. On Monday I am going to move to Muskegon KOA until July 3. From this area I can go to Grand Rapids to see the Gerald Ford Museum and other things and I can go up to Ludington to see the beachs and Lake Superior.
