Lunch at Gobbler's Restaurant

This morning we drove down to Camping World at Houghton Lake which is about 50 miles south of Gaylord. We all went in Al and Symphony's car; Symphony and I sat in the back seat with her laptop and Microsoft Streets and Trips and gps. Al and Symphony are learning to use Streets and Trips with the gps and I was giving her some help in using them.

After doing some shopping at Camping World we returned to Gaylord. Just south of Gaylord we passed over the 45th parallel, we were halfway between the Equator and North Pole. There is a green highway sign in the median marking the spot. We stopped to take photos of the sign, but since it was in the median we didn’t cross the high to get photos of us standing by the sign. (When Mike and I were driving north on US-23 to Mackinaw City we saw a sign for the 45th parallel too late to stop the RV to get a photo).

It was well after lunchtime when we got back to Gaylord and we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch. The owner of Beaver Creek RV Resort had told us that if we would like a good turkey dinner to eat at Gobbler's Restaurant in town.

At Gobbler's Restaurant  Mike had the 1/2 lb turkey burger, Symphony had the turkey platter and Al and I had the hot turkey sandwich. Their desserts looked really good, but we didn't have any room after the good lunch we'd had. On the way out Mike saw their oatmeal raisin cookies and bought a baker's dozen for $5 for later.

When we got back to the campground, we stopped to take photos by Benjamin Beaver before going back to our RVs.
