It was a short drive to our next camping spot, but we decided to make a detour and visit the Cooters’ longtime friends from Illesheim. It was only about an hour and a half to Jay Cooke State Park, and we knew from Facebook that the Coders were camping there too. We met up and took a walk through the woods together. It’s a beautiful state park, with a river cutting through a rocky gorge beneath the trees. Yellow wildflowers dotted the forest floor, and the ferns were just beginning to unfurl after the long winter.
After our walk, we headed back to the Coders’ campsite where they treated us to turkey and cheese sandwiches on Deb’s homemade bread. We spent some time catching up before hitting the road again for another hour and forty-five minute drive to Little Sand Bay.
Our campground was a small city park right on the shores of Lake Superior. There were only about three campers in the whole park, though it probably could not hold more than thirty anyway. Sadly, the nearby national lakeshore visitor center was closed, but we settled into our new home for the next few days and began planning our upcoming adventures.
