Camping Reservations Made — Bewabic State Park

 

Camping reservations for Bewabic State Park has been made for September 11th-15th. Bewabic State Park consists of 315 acres situated on Fortune Lake, which is part of the Fortune Lakes Chain in Crystal Falls, MI. The park is home to both modern and rustic campsites, a day-use area, a tennis court, hiking trails, a boat launch and more. The park is rich with Civilian Conservation Corps history, evidenced by several CCC structures still in use.

Bewabic is one of just a few state parks that allow the operation of an ORV between the campground and nearby ORV trails. The park connects to Twin Lakes, Baraga state parks, and Bond Falls Scenic Site via several motorized routes.

Home Again — Oconto, WI

 

Ginny and I had a wonderful and relaxing week at J.W. Wells State Park, but it's nice to be back home again. We left the park at 9:30, making it home at 10:30 this morning.

J.W. Wells State Park — Cedar River, MI

 

We left home around 11:00 this morning on our way to J.W. Wells State Park. We got here right around noon. We have a nice site with a gorgeous view of the Bay of Green Bay. We brought our small boat up with us if we wanted to play around on the water. We'll be here for three nights, leaving out on Friday morning.

Camping Reservations Made — J.W. Wells State Park

 

 

We have made camping reservations at Michigan's J.W. Wells State Park for August 23rd-26st.

Wells State Park is located on the shores of the Bay of Green Bay in Cedar River, Michigan, about 30 miles south of Escanaba. Its 678 acres include a three-mile shoreline with a beautiful sandy beach for swimming, a large picnic area, a modern campground, and rustic cabins. The park, established in 1925, was donated to the State of Michigan by the children of John Walter Wells, a pioneer lumberman in the area. In addition to owning several lumber companies and sawmills, he served as mayor of Menominee for three terms beginning in 1893. Many of the park's buildings, landscaping, and water and sewage systems were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and 1940s. The park is open year-round, even when the campground is closed, providing opportunities for winter recreation such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing.

Last Leg of our Muskegon Trip

 

Today was the last leg of our 3-day trip to Muskegon and back to pick up our trailer that had been in the shop for repairs following a tire blowout last March. We were hooked up and on the road by 7:30 this morning, stopping first at the St. Ignace Truck Stop for breakfast. Then it was a 215-mile drive home to Oconto. The weather forecast for today was rain. We did hit some rain, but it wasn't bad. We made it home around 11:30 AM. Ginny said she enjoyed her first long trip with me and looking forward to many more. That's good because our next long trip will take 6 to 7 months to complete.

Saint Ignace, MI

 

Ginny and I left Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho Campground around 9:00 this morning and took the slow road, US Hwy 31, to Saint Ignace, where we checked into the Tiki RV Park around 2:30 this afternoon. It was a beautiful ride through quaint lakeside towns along Michigan's west coast of Lake Michigan. We have a full hookup site, so I'll be able to flush out the holding tanks and dump and refill fill the freshwater tank. Tomorrow we'll continue on our route back home.

Muskegon, MI

 

Yesterday was Ginny's and my first long trip together as we headed to Muskegon, MI, to pick up our trailer. The trailer had been in the shop for repairs for the last twelve weeks—mostly waiting for parts—after the door side of the trailer was damaged after a tire blowout in Colorado last March. The total bill came up to $4686, which included four new Goodyear G114 tires.

 

We left Oconto on our 490-mile trip around 5:30 AM (CDT), arriving at All Seasons RV SuperCenter around 3:30 PM (EDT). After picking up the trailer, we checked into Lake Sch-Nepp-A-Ho Campground in Muskegon. Today we will head back home, first staying at the Tiki RV Park in St Ignace, MI.
