WOW!

Michigan is all I thought it would be! It was 55 last night after a really pleasant sunshine filled cool day! It is 72 here at 10 in the morning. We are supposed to get rather warm this weekend.

The Park here is really wonderful. There are not to many class A units here - maybe 12 in the whole park but it is full of fifth wheels and travel trailers. The park setting here is really wonderful. As with most resorts, it is a long ways to anywhere. The trip here was nice as we stayed on the local roads. A lot of stops but we were in no hurry and the little rain we drove through was welcomed as the crops were nearly dead from the drought. The first night and day here we had lots of rain - again all welcomed as the drought has really been severe here in the mid west. I do think there was enough rain to save the crops - if they get some more rain soon.

We do not have sewage hook up here but do have a little pipe we can use so our grey water is discharged into that. The electric here is 30 amps but seems to be sufficient if we only run one air as we make coffee or use the microwave. We are very happy here and will be here 2 weeks. Price is right as it is free.

So far on our trip we have spent $53.00 for camping and that was for the 50 amps service. 528.99 was spent on food while $582.52 was put into our RV and $68.10 into the car. Our total cost on the trip thus far is $5545.25 and that includes $2200.00 for our Thousand Trails upgrade and $299.00 for lifetime membership in Good Sam. We spent the money on the TT upgrade as we get 3 weeks in a park and can go park to park with no out time. We also added many parks to our system and needed that for our future stay in Florida. We have been on the road for 8 weeks now and have really enjoyed it.
