Jul 17, 2012 - Move to Muskegon

Driving day today, just a little north of here to Muskegon. The next RV park has check-in time of 3 o’clock, which normally is very late for us to be on the road. It’s especially late for us when it’s going to be approaching triple digit temperatures today. So, about 11 o’clock, I called and they said our site was empty and we could come on in any time; early check-in would incur a $3.00/hour fee. It would be worth it to get off the road and settled. So, we had lunch and hit the road for the approximately 50-mile drive. Went smoothly and we...

Aug 3, 2010 - Trip to Utica

Drove to Utica yesterday morning to see my favorite Dentist George Magulak. I have been going to George since he opened his practice in Utica, many years ago. I didn't like the dentist(s) in AZ so I am still with George. Worth the trip every time. Teeth clean and no cavities! I was prepared for fillings - but non this time. I had the afternoon to visit with nieces Barb and Arnette. Then had dinner with high school friends Trish and Gale. Always have a good time when we get together. Gale made a delicious chicken salad. I spent the night...

Aug 1, 2010 - Fisherman's Campground

We drove from Kalkaska to Muskegon today. About 167 miles. No big deal. Got here about 3:00 and set camp up. We are close to Lake Muskegon. Jay should be able to fish all week. I am headed to Utica to get my teeth cleaned and filled. I will see a few friends and probably head back on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. That is all the news for most of this week.

May 25, 2009 - Muskegon, MI -- Memorial Day

We had to get the laundry done before leaving the campground this morning. We had made it a week without laundry, so it was time. We left about 11:20 am and headed north to Muskegon. We did not hook the jeep up in the park because the park is soooo tight. I followed John to the Fresh Market parking lot to hook up. We ate lunch in the deli there, bought some Michigan asparagus, and were on the road at 12:45 pm We drove by miles of huge blueberry fields and several huge commercial green houses. We have seen interesting signs in road...

Apr 15, 2009 - Spring

We went to Florida and back this winter. We were gone from Michigan for a little over 2 months. We spent 5 days traveling down and 3 days back. Pat and I enjoyed the new motor home and are ready to go on another trip. We will be headed to Petosky, Michigan for a short weekend trip that should be quiet as vacation time is still a couple of months away. We will be staying at a new luxury campground, Hearthside in Petosky which is 35 miles from the Mackinaw bridge. I will try to post again next week and possibly add some pictures.

Aug 17, 2008 - Day 1 & 2

Hello All from Muskegon Michigan! Today is Sunday August 17th. It is late, and we have traveled approximately 800 miles the last two days trying to make good time, as we have to make the ferry by 10AM in the morning. It will be a 2 1/2 hour ride, arriving in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We thought this would be a good escape from all the congested traffic around Chicago. This will be our first time zone change. We plan to visit the Harley Davidson Museum, as they celebrate their 150th Anniversary. So, far it has been uneventful, with only a few...

May 28, 2008 - Backwards to Michigan

Sunday morning we made one last attempt to find additional birds at Point Pelee. Well, one of us did anyway. We packed up the RV and drove to Leamington where we met Paul & Sue Brock at Wal-Mart at 7:30 am. We parked the RV and I went with Paul & Sue birding while Maggie read and had breakfast at the local restaurant. Not too much in the way of birds but at least it wasn’t raining. At 10 AM we headed west to Muskegon Michigan to meet Art & Janet Helmer whom we had first met 2.5 years ago while camping near Tucson. We spent some time birding...

Aug 11, 2007 - Muskegon Thursday August 9

From Ludington we went to Muskegon. We checked into our campsite at Lake Sch Nepp A Ho (that is exactly how it was written) and then we went into Muskegon to check out the Lake Express Ferry (we were going across Lake Michigan to Milwaukee in the morning), the lighthouse and get a bite to eat. We had a great meal at a place called Dockers, perch and walleye, mmmm very good. Then we went to the Lighthouse, we tried to walk out the pier, but the bugs were bad, so I got a few fuzzy pictures and we went back, but the sunset was...

Aug 19, 2006 - Charlevoix to Muskegon, MI

8/18 Ludenton, Arcadia, Muskeegon, MI After 3 wonderful days in Charlivoix, where some fellow boaters celebrated John's Birthday, we tried to make time getting to Grand Haven to leave Miss L for nearly 2 weeks while we travel home. Charlevoix is a must see town for land lubbers or boaters. See pics. Travel to Arcadia, a small village on the east coast was fairly unevental. Travel on Lake Mich is either boring or very scary. We walked the entire town, seeing everything & got great receptions at the museum & other local places. The town dock...

Jul 24, 2006 - Our big day has finally arrived-leaving

Well today finally came. We are all packed and ready to go. We said all of our good-byes and pulled out of Spring Lake at 8:30 am. I think we have everything we need for the next few months. We are headed for Tahquamonen Falls State Park near Paradise MI.

Aug 6, 2005 - Day 1 - Off to catch the boat in Muskegon

Day 1 Saturday, August 6 Got to the boat with no problem. About thirty bikes are going across, all on their way to Sturgis. Stood around with the brothers talking about bikes, tattoos and the weather. Luckily the guys on either side of me knew how to properly strap down a bike. They were very willing to help (I think it may have had something to do with the fact that if my bike fell, it fell on theirs).

May 4, 2005 - Leaving NYC, stop over in Michigan for Greek Easter, Columbus

Well, we finally got everything packed into our storage space in Yonkers. See the attached pictures photo of our packed "garage" Let me tell you the move wasn't easy! After the past week we'll be able to get along fine for the next 10 months - no problem. It's amazing how much stuff we had, even after giving some of it away to friends (Lukie, how's that blonde wig?) I also want to thank my office, EastWest Creative and Pradeep at CSFB for hosting two great goodbyes parties for each of us and everyone who came out to wish us bon voyage! It...
