Ahh.. what a difference changing up the pace makes! We ended up staying four nights at Lake Sakakawea State Park in North Dakota, and then moved on to Theodore Roosevelt National Park for another four nights. It was just what we needed to reset ourselves after several driving days. Theodore Roosevelt National Park We arrived […]
Travelogues
Zoom Zoom…. Kerplop
Go slow. There’s no hurry. Drive no more than 200 miles then stay no less than 2 nights. We hold these truths of RVing to be self evident. But yet we still try to push our limits sometimes. After a month long slow roll through northern Michigan balancing exploring new gorgeous areas and writing The […]
Cracking the Nut in the UP (Casino Camping!)
After our marathon writing in St. Ignace, we got a good night’s sleep and left to head northward to catch back up with our buddies Nikki & Jason. They had been exploring some of the UP on their own, and we had coordinated a couple of potential meet up spots depending upon when we got […]
Trolls, Yoopers and Ducklings
Coming up the western coast of Michigan is Nikki & Jason of Gone with the Wynns.. and up the east coast, Chris & Cherie of Technomadia. Which dynamic RV blogging duo would cross the Mackinac Bridge first, leaving the trolls (what lower Michiganders are called) behind in the rear view camera and being welcomed by Yoopers (what Upper Peninsula […]
Completing the Sunrise Coast: Roger’s City & Cheboygan, Michigan
After such a wonderful time in Alpena, we were a bit hesitant to move on up the coast – but adventures call. And it’s always better to leave a location wanting more than to leave it feeling like you’re ready to move on. Hoeft State Park – Roger’s City Our next stop would be Hoeft […]
The Sunrise Coast: Alpena, Michigan
One of the challenges of life on the road is finding a somewhat peaceful spot over holidays. Popular camping locations are usually booked up far in advance, which is fine by us – we generally prefer avoiding crowded campgrounds and parties. We looked ahead on Highway 23, did some research into campgrounds around – and […]
The Sunrise Coast: Harrisville, Michigan
After all of our packages arrived to Tawas, we were ready to start our northward trek up the Sunrise Coast to our next stop – Harrisville State Park (our review). We were surprised to even snag a site over a weekend at a state park, and by looking at pictures online on the Michigan State Park reservation system – it looked […]
The Sunrise Coast: Tawas, Michigan
Who would have ever thought that night owls like us would end up touring Michigan’s ‘Sunrise’ coast? Only serendipity could make such an unlikely combination converge … with a little prodding from good friends. Earlier this spring, we really thought we’d be spending our summer slowly working our way westward towards Oregon via perhaps Colorado […]
Fort Sleepy – Decompressing in Central Michigan
After a hectic few weeks in Elkhart and attending the Fleetwood GLAMARAMA Rally in Goshen, IN – we were in serious need of some alone time. Researching and writing a book really requires finding a unique balance of undisrupted solitude, but quick distractions nearby for breaks. Our next major destination would be East Tawas, Michigan […]
The Fleetwood & GLAMARAMA Rally
We swear.. we’re not becoming rally people! But when the Wynn’s invited us to join them for the Fleetwood rally they were presenting at in Goshen, IN – we couldn’t resist attending our 3rd major rally this spring. After years of blog stalking each other, we finally got to meet up for dinner a couple […]
