After the clouds cleared away yesterday, it turned into quite a nice day.  The morning was cold, windy, and damp, but the sky began to clear about 5 PM and the evening was very pleasant.  We took advantage of it and had our last campfire for this trip.  We were supposed to leave tomorrow, but there is another rain system moving it tonight, so we decided to leave today rather than having to pack up in the rain.  Some areas got up to 3-4 inches of rain, but my son said that we got 1.68″ at our house.  My sister-in-law said that there was 4 inches in her gauge at the cabins in Cheboygan.
