The Lord is spectacular and amazing. Sometimes He blesses us with things we didn't even know we needed, or were a blessing at the time, or didn't realize the blessing until a later date.
Sometimes you can't miss the blessing. This trip was a true blessing. We went on a whim to try to camp at a township park right on Lake Superior. It was called Ontonagon Township Park.
Ephesians 5:20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ESV
You can't make reservations for this park. It has running water and electricity but no sewer at the sites. There is however a dump station. This campground is beautiful as you can see. We were only going to stay for a couple days and then try another park. But when we got there it was so calming, relaxing, and gorgeous we decided to stay there the whole time, we were going to go visit other parks but decided to just stay put. It is like being at the ocean. When you walk out of your camper and you are just a few feet from the beach, that can't be beat.

Jeremiah 16:21 Therefore, behold, I will make them know, this once and I will make them know my power and my might, and they shall know that my name is the Lord. ESV
We had one terrifying night while we were camping here. The Lord showed us His power. The wind came up late in the evening waking us up, without warning, that was so strong it flipped our awning up on to the roof of our camper. My husband ran out to see if it was destroyed then began pulling it in with the button. The dogs started whimpering. And... I started praying. Please God keep us safe and help us to not have fear. I said to my husband, "did you roll the lights and the whirl-a-gig into the awning." He said, "Yes they're probably destroyed." We just looked at each other for a moment in silence. I said, "I pray those girls in the tent got to a safe place before it got really bad." My husband said, "Their tent was completely flat but they got into the showers." Thank God!! I bet they thought they might meet their maker that night.
Praise the Lord! When we got up in the morning my husband unrolled the awning nothing was destroyed. The awning needed a little pounding out and he went and found the light covers across the street and in the woods. Sometime God needs to remind us of His power not only in what is going on around us but also in how He protects us. That could have been a very different outcome had He not been protecting us that night.
Town is a little over a mile away so you could walk to town but we drove. We visited a couple of places and hunted out a gas station to fill our rig. We went to a rock museum/store that had some beautiful stuff that is on the main drag Island Rd. We also stopped and picked up pasties for lunch. Can't go to Michigan without getting pasties they are known for them that is like going to Wisconsin and not getting any cheese. We stopped at Syl's Cafe it's on River Street they had great pasties and the bakery items looked really good but we were there for lunch. I will definitely go there again. The pasties were so big we split one for lunch.
We collected some gorgeous rocks for my crafting off the beach. There was some really nice rocks and flat rocks to paint and wire wrap.
There are no words that can truly explain the beauty that we were able to enjoy while we were there. I will post a few photos here but then I will post another post of only Lake Superior photos from this trip to Ontonagon, MI.
If you ever get the chance to get to Lake Superior or any of the Great Lakes take advantage of a campground to see this incredible creation.
