Thursday – Day 27 – 8/28/08

What a great day we had in Dearborn, MI visiting Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. It was like a forced march but we saw every thing on our list and then some. I’m a “live” steam engine fan and this is the place to see it all. Barb was very patient and I owe her big time for tagging along. What a fantastic place to visit. Everyone should visit Greenfield Village at least once during their life time. We took a cab to get there and at the last moment, we thought it would be fun to experience a little additional adventure and take a bus back to the boat. As we walked out the door of the museum, the bus was coming around the corner so we got on - looked at each other and started to laugh. What better way to learn of the surrounding area and its people. Not sure how we did it but Barb knew the bus number! Talk about dead reckoning --- but it worked! We got off the bus 40 minutes later a block and a half from our boat – and without charts to navigate by!

Tomorrow we head for Catawba Island just east of Port Clinton on Lake Erie. My fishing buddy said he was coming out into the lake from NE Port to meet and great us. Barb and I are looking forward to our visit with our good friends. Weather permitting we will get under way by 1000 hours.
