No bars for phone, but WiFi outside (or inside) the bathrooms

 You get used to cellphone access for everyday tasks. It is not so much that I make phone calls, but I do miss Internet access. Where is the nearest coffee shop? In the UP, you can find yourself in locations even towns with no phone access. People here must use landlines.

It turns out that our present campground has wifi. The bathrooms contain a wifi hopspot that is good for about two camping spots from the bathrooms. So, you have to find a seat (there are a couple of benches) outside to take advantage of the service.

I really intended to write about firewood and was distracted by not being able to find a way to upload my comment. Camp fires are one of the joys of camping. You sit outside after dark around a fire. This is just what you do. You can stare at the fire or roast marshmallows. I mostly just stare.

You are not supposed to bring in your own wood. I literally have a ton of wood at our lake place, but left the free wood behind. State campgrounds provide wood at a price. Our first campground charged $5 for a bundle. A bundle is about enough for a decent fire. We are now at a park that charges $7 for a smaller bundle. This bindle contains some smaller sticks for kindling which means it probably required more labor to put the bundle together and tie it with twine. I also think this wood was kiln dried because it burned much faster. The expense of drying increases the cost, but also eliminates the bugs that are the reason you are not supposed to bring your own wook. Keep the forests safe.
