Always looking for good Mexican food

One of the things we always look for on the road (and it can be hit or miss, for sure!) is good Mexican food. Mango’s Tequila Bar in Alpena did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun and inviting.

The mural trail in Alpena has some really interesting art. There are so many that we can’t fit them all into one post (and it took us multiple days to find them all, even using the app)!

Alpena, Michigan sits on Thunder Bay in Lake Huron

Alpena, Michigan sits on Thunder Bay in Lake Huron and is home to the National Marine Sanctuary and Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center . Because of the sporadic weather seen in this area, this area is infamous for its shipwrecks. Thunder Bay is nicknamed “Shipwreck Alley” due to its number of wrecks, many of which are in shallow waters and able to be seen from kayak or by snorkeling.

Our week in Alpena, Michigan

Our week in Alpena, Michigan was great, in spite of the rain the first couple days. The fairgrounds is a great place to stay - super quiet, and very close to town. It’s not perfect for our big rig (especially since our site flooded- the photo shows what it looked like after having a day to dry out!)
