We enjoyed going about a month earlier then last year, the weather was perfect and the park was not to overly busy. We had great neighbors on both sides and even tho we didn’t have a waterfront site, we did enjoy our views from across the “street” So we took our annual trek up to…
**Truck Upgrade**
We did a thing….. the day we returned from our Empire vacation (May 31st, 2019) we traded in Dozer and got “The Beast” She is a 2019 Chevrolet Duramax Diesel 3500 HD, that is right boys and girls it is a dually. Bruce is one happy “camper” this will haul anything we put behind her….
May 2019 Empire, Michigan
What a difference a year (and a week) makes, last year when we were here we had to run the furnace every night of our stay, this year we have only ran it once and only because it was cool and rainy all day and the camper got pretty cold. We have had just perfect…
Final Countdown
16 days till we head to Empire, Michigan. This can not come soon enough for either of us. Our April has been rough to say the least, on top of having repairs done to both our house and my car due to the hail storm in March, we had to say goodbye to our beloved…
2019 Spring Fever
The daylight is getting later and the temps are slowly rising, we are seeing more sun then clouds and that is a very good thing these days. February was brutal to say the least. Several good dumps of snow and some very frigid temps. It is nice to be well over half way into March….

I for one, am going to use this season to get organized. After our final camping trip to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan…
Sault Ste Marie, Michigan
Our final trip of the season was a relaxing 10 days in the beautiful Aune-Osborn campground bordering the waterway of the Saint Mary’s River. We had the wonderful experience of seeing different great lakes freights passing by numerous times a day and even at night. With the weather being that of typical Michigan fall, rainy,…
Turkeyville (Marshall, Michigan)
Located off exit 42 from I-69 South, Cornwell’s Turkeyville Campground, peaceful, clean, well organized. reasonably priced, they also offer a discount to Good Sam club members of 5$ off each night. We had a great time, short but sweet two day escape. Thursday night we took a drive to Battle Creek and at dinner at…
Turkeyville, short but sweet.
Heading down to Turkeyville campground for a couple days this week, 17 short miles from home. Just a quick getaway to satisfy our camping cravings. This will also tie us over until we head to Sault Ste. Marie next month for a glorious 8 days along side the St. Mary river in a campground called…
