We were in Marquette today and took full advantage of the trip stopping at all the stores we could because we won't be making the trip often. It's a good time to make lists and more lists to be sure to get everything you want in one trip. If the price of gas doesn't go down we won't even make it out of Baraga County!
The local Tribal gas station used to sell gas for 20 cents less than other stations but right now there gas price is higher than in Chassell. Tribal members still get gas cheaper by showing their card or signing a book or something, but we aren't tribal so we pay the taxes. Gone are the days of people driving down to the casino with the excuse to fill up at their gas station. You can no longer take what you saved at the pump and dump it into a slot machine.
There was a sign at a Calumet gas station with the price of $1.94 per gallon. It wasn't surprising to see that the station had been closed for a long, long time. Please someone, take down that sign. You will give people a heart attack or cause an accident with tourist rushing to fill up.
