OK ladies and gents; we have two tentative dates to choose from, being June 21rst or July 12th.

Let's start discussing this so we can all be on the same page.

We are considering these dates to keep some distance from the 4th of July Holiday.
The 4th just crowds up the place, and books up all the rooms and camp sites. [&o]


Any one in IL, IN, OH and MI surrounding area should consider this one.
Family friendly, loads of fun stuff to do, light houses, beaches, restaurants, cool shops, ice cream, go carts, bumper boats, fishing and some great wheeling from grandma easy to all out wild and crazy. Come join us for some fun and relaxation.

July 12 would be the only one good for me. I have to work the Fallen Hero's Memorial Concert June 21.

I think I have to go to Minnisota that week for work, either that week or the week after, but it should be Mon and Tues only, so that would probably work for me as well.

Lookin like July 12 is the lean to.

Yes HG.............Light Houses! To the immediate south, a 10 minute slow drive down some narrow west MI side roads is Little Sable. It was closed to tours for several
years, but they did some work on the stairs, and reopened it last year (2-3 days per week).

Then, to the north about an hour (30 mins. Eway, and about the same state roads, the last 15 minutes is beautiful West MI coast......all dunes, open to foot use by Ludington, in the Ludington State Park there is Big Sable. Open to tours 6 days a week. You can bicycle or walk to it by trail, or two miles of beach!

You got that right! The architecture amazes me for some reason. People don't realize the force those things withstand.

Doc; is that last pic of the beach actually driveable? Can you just go whereever you want?

I stop at every lighthouse that is open to the public wherever I go. The history is always interesting and there are always incredible views from them
