Today is my son Allen’s 39th birthday.  We didn’t have any rain during the night as expected.  Most of the rain is east of us.  We left camp and headed out for Frankenmuth. This town was settled by Germans and the downtown area look like a Bavarian village.   It rained on and off after we got to Lansing.  We got a campsite and then drove to Bronner’s Christmas Store.  We bought some ornaments to give at Christmas.  We found two geocaches.  In one of them we picked up a travel bug and put the one we had in the cache.  We went to Sullivan’s Black Forest Brewery for a couple of beers.  Jim ordered us an appetizer of four kinds of German sausages, mustard and fresh hot rolls.  Then we drove to Frankenmuth Brewing.  Their glycol cooling system went out and their beer on tap was too warm.  The bartenders were opening bottles of beer to use.  Afterwards Jim wanted to go to Zehnder’s Restaurant for all you can eat fried chicken dinner.  This place serves over 1 million customers a year and is one of the largest restaurants in the U.S.  It rained steadily all afternoon and the temperature was in the lower 60s.
