Remember Whensday - Dreaming of someplace warmer

Me at the Bahaman Princess
Because I’m cold in the mornings I’ve been dreaming of a warmer place. In December 1974 my boyfriend took me to the Bahamas. Being under 21 I couldn’t go into the Casinos. Our hotel was not on the beach as advertised but a frequent free shuttle got us there in a hurry. We were so young, and so poor we really couldn’t even afford to be there. Ate a free Continental breakfast then over priced hotdogs for lunch and dinner at the International Market. One night we walked a couple miles to town for Burger King and discovered not all Burger Kings are equal in quality or price.

But we were Warm and enjoyed our days on the beach. Wish that I were there Now!

Remember Whensday - Cadillac Camping

I borrowed Mom’s Cadillac to go camping with my boyfriend and another couple in September 1974. We had to use the repelling gear from the tree limb to lift the loaded canoe then drove under it and lowered it onto the roof. Plus tie the trunk shut.

We rented the second floor of the Bessemer House for a week. This building was originally an iron ore assay office and the walk in safe was still there.

We also went camping on Michigan’s Upper Pennisula at Pigeon Lake.

The Cadillac took those back country gravel roads pretty smooth and came home with only a few minor scratches. Mom was not happy.
