We moved the Casita about three miles down the road to Christmas, Michigan, to the Kewadin Casino.  They have electricity here but no water, so we filled the water tank before leaving the Tourist RV Park.  Then we went into town to find out information about the glass bottom boat ride.  Jim bought us tickets for the noon boat tour.  This boat takes you over three wrecked ships.  We got to see the 1^st one but the waves were too high for the captain to take us to the other two.  They refunded half of the ticket price.

We went back to the Casita and Jim downloaded the pictures of the wreck.  Then he went inside the casino to play the slots.  The RV site here is free if you gamble.  He put a dollar in a nickel slot machine and lost that.  He moved to different machine and put in another dollar.  He won and was up by 80 cents.  He cashed out and came back to the trailer with $2.80.  We sat around the Casita and then got ready for the boat tour to see Pictured Rocks at 7:30 PM.  We finally had a beautiful sunny day for this trip.  This time of day was the perfect time to see the rocks.  The sun shines on them and you can see the colors and formations better. It was windy and quite chilly on the boat ride. The boat arrived back at dock around 9:40 PM and we went back to the Casita.
