We stopped for gas at the Flying J in Grand Ledge, MI where we paid $2.829 a gallon. We had to change from I-69 to I-96 west to get to the Flying J which is west of Lansing, MI. We got back on I-69 for a few miles north of Lansing where we changed to US-127 N.
About 100 miles north of Lansing (south of Allendale) we changed to M-61 for about 40 miles to Standish, MI. We were looking for a place to pull over for lunch and saw a sign for the fairgrounds and a large parking lot just west of downtown Standish.
When we pulled in to the parking lot, we found out it was for the St. Mary’s Catholic Center (the fairgrounds must have been down the side street next to the center). We stopped just long enough to make a couple of sandwiches and eat them and walk Tinker.
In downtown Standish, MI we saw this train depot. It was built in 1889 from stones donated by the area farmers. It is now the Standish Historical Depot Welcome Center.

In Standish we turned on to US-23 East and drove the 16 miles to Au Gres.
We arrived at the Au Gres City Riverfront Park and Campground at 1:30 p.m. We had a short driving day today - only 170 miles from Charlotte to Au Gres.
We are on site 86. It’s a pull-through and long enough that we don’t have to disconnect the Vue. We have full hookups (50 amp) for $27.50 a night.
The front of the pull-through sites slope downward and we had to put the front wheels up on block to get the RV level. Mike checked the other pull-through sites and 86 seems to have the least slope. Our view out front is of the Au Gres River. This is the first city park campground we have stayed in and we’re really pleased.

Here is a close-up of the headlight covers that Mike made to keep them from discoloring that I mentioned in an earlier post.
