Mirror Lake is another redo for us, but only because it’s next to the Ishlana Supper Club which is right on Mirror Lake. On one of my early cross country road trips, I saw a sign for the Spam Museum, but didn’t stop. This time, we were driving by right at lunch time...call it destiny. What an exciting place! Just oodles of information about the history of Spam, how it was the single advantage that the Allied Forces had in WWII! How it changes the war effort in Vietnam! There was a chance to test your skills as a canner. Deb tried it but, alas, will not be asked to return for the job interview. It’s the only place in the world that sells all 15 different flavors of Spam. We bought several to give as Christmas presents (it’s sort of like buying one of those flowery Hawaiian shirts...it seemed like a good idea at the time)
It was Friday night at the Ishlana Supper Club, so we had a fairly long wait for dinner. We sat at one of the bars and tried to talk but a trio of loud women next to us kept drowning us out. Finally, we got away when they called us for dinner, but, yes, five minutes later, they were seated at the table next to us. Oh well.
It’s 399 miles to Mackinaw City and we have our last time zone change, so it should be an early start.
