I realized that a RV is not a large SUV with more space.
I returned from a 6,800 mile trip that started in mid July 2019. I brought my nieces, who are new to RV’s, with me. There were a couple of things at the end of the trip, after 30 days of traveling, that provided insight as to why some new RV owners are timid/encounter problems with dry camping or boondocking. It was one of those AHA! moments. I’m sorry that I never saw the component before. Read more “Utilities for a RV”

I’ve been asked to list things to do in Michigan. With any of these items listed you are encouraged to do your own research. It is by no means a complete list of things to do in Michigan.
Keep in mind that the pronunciation of some of these places are Native American words spelled by the French and English. That’s why Mackinac is pronounced the same as Mackinaw. Up North and Northern Michigan means the same thing. Generally, it is north of Bay City and south of the Mackinac Bridge. The Upper Peninsula is north of Northern Michigan. Go figure.
The Lower Peninsula (LP) is shaped like a mitten. Many references to places in Michigan (MI) use this guide, such as the Thumb area. As kids we would place our left hand on a paper and trace it to make the outline of this half of the state. Other abbreviations I use are: UP for the Upper Peninsula, SP for state park, NP for National Park and CG for campground. Read more “Things to Do in Michigan”
