Tuesday we left Mackinaw City and headed southwest to Traverse City. The weather was cool and rained off and on the entire time we were there but overall we had fun and really enjoyed the beauty of the countryside. Traverse City is a beatiful area, which I think we will go back to.
One day we took a jeep roadtrip and visited several small villages and fish towns. We even took in the new Johnny Depp movie “Public Enemies”, It’s definetly worth watching!

Well I finally have a strong enough signal to upload 132 pictures. Kinda! I cheated a bit and stripped my normal 5 meg shots, so I could get them to upload without having to buy another generator…LOL It’s amazing the issues I have had in finding REAL bandwidth on this trip.
The trip has been an absolute blast and we loved sharing the first portion of it with Lisa and Trev, unfortunately today, they headed south towards home. There spending the night in Coldwater Michigan and we moved over to Traverse City, Mi. Were all setup in Travers Bay RV Resort and all I need to say is WOW. OK, Double WOW, WOW. This is the nicest place we have ever stayed and have actually paid more for much less…
Here are the pictures from the first portion of our trip and will have more once I get home. Click on the picture to check out the rest of the pictures.
More to come so be patient, and remember… Don’t Analyze your Pleasures!!!!

Peggy and I and Trevis and his wife Lisa safely made it to Mackinaw City yesterday around noon. The weather was beautiful and the Millcreek campground on Lake Huron is awesome. We had sites right on the lake, but asked to be moved to a new section of the campground that had much larger sites. The area up front is considered on many website forums as “Sardine Row” and boy after getting setup and going to check them out, they were right! Our sites are not together, but a few spots from each other, which is not a big deal. We each have big spacious pine tree lines lots which are 70′ deep and around 70′ wide. Much better than the 50′ by 24′ in sardine row.
Yesterday we went to town had lunch and went to a arts and crafts event, then hit a huge outdoor mall centered in town.
Today were heading over to Mackinac Island by ferry. I am looking forward to that and can be assurred I will take tons of pictures.
I will be uploading pictures maybe tonight, depending on my internet connection.
Take care,
~Fred

We went to a wedding reception last night and had a blast. It was for our good friends daughter and her new husband. Lisa & Trevis have a beautiful daughter and now a son-law that may just be ok…LOL Here are my shots from the event. Casey and Ryan were married in Florida and held the reception last night in Greenwood. I think you will agree by the smiles that this reception was a FUN event.
Congratulations Casey and Ryan Gant!

Peggy and I are in Fletcher, Ohio camping with great friends. The campground is huge and although were not suppose to have gas golf carts, the owner has allowed us to use ours this weekend, because we honestly didn’t know they don’t allow them, and there is nothing on there website that says anything about it.
We have taken some great shots so check them out. Here is one of JR Hanger, a great guy who has gone through a lot this past year and we are thrilled to see that smile back on his smile. Click here to see the rest of them.

Randy Warren is a friend we have met through off-road riding and this time each year he straddles the Harley and heads our for a several week jaunt. Last year he came by and saw us, as part of his 2,800 mile trip.
This year Randy decided to “Go West”! He lives in upper Wisconsin and it must have something to do with either the enormous amount of snow or cheese, but he has to go for a walk-a-bout, he just chooses to do his on a Harley… Can’t blame him a bit!
Here are some pictures he sent us while in New Mexico and Arizona. In total I believe he is going to ride 4,600 miles, which for even my butt from where I am setting is ALOT!… Be safe Randy God Bless….

The last day of a vacation is always an interesting day. You spend the night before wondering what your last day will be like and you hope it’s everything you imagine, craming in as much as you can. Peggy and I started by having a wonderful big breakfast with coffee, then took our time to get to the beach. We spent about an hour and a half at the beach and I gotta say I normally am not a beach lover, but this beach is different. It’s friendly! The folks here are friendly, everyone is here for the same experience and folks mostly from Alabama are extremely nice.
After beach time, we came back to the RV and Peggy fixed us a sandwhich then headed off for some shopping time by herself. This gave me some time for a great afternoon nap. The kind of naps that you wake up from and say, “Man that was a GREAT nap”. Not longer after I got up the shopper returned with some great purchases.
We visited with neighbors and decided to go ahead and pick out a spot for next year for the same time of year as we really enjoy this place and the price is right, the weather has been awesome and for Florida it sure is close.
We head out in the morning and hope to be northbound by 6am and home by dark.
DAA we are on our way!
