Memorial Weekend

Had to use a vacation day to get Sunday off. And back to work on Monday.

So it's camp back yard at mom and dad's house. Brother and sister are coming up so it's all good.

We will be up at our sons private family campground in the woods of upper Michigan. Our favorite spot in the whole world! :)
We will go up on a Wednesday and probably come back a week or more later. No crowds and the roads are not packed.

This looks nice! What area in northern MI?

Both our daughters have TT's and since they're still working, they like to get away for the Holiday weekends with the husbands and kids. We'll be going locally to an RV park near Solvang (Danish town in Buellton, California)

Up in the Traverse City area. My two sons and I put in three full hookup campsites and another 30amp electric site for grandkids with a popup. They get water from a Y on one of our hydrants.

Also there is a large pole barn on the property for keeping the dirt bikes, 4 wheelers etc. My oldest son keeps his trailer in the barn during the winter. We also put in a nice pistol shooting range
.
The pictures were taken a couple of years ago before the grass had really started growing. It looks like a beautiful park now and is surrounded by state park land and backs up to the Boardman river.

That's awesome! gorgeous area up there. We are headed to Young State Park for the week leading up to Labor Day and then to my bosses property in Vanderbilt for that holiday weekend. I LOVE northern MI, but the problem is, so does everyone else! lol

We'll be boondocking on a paper company tree lot in the southern Adirondacks with our two daughters and their SO's. Our permit only allows one RV, so they'll be in tents this time. There are only three permits still active for a couple of hundred acres of woods, so we don't expect to have any neighbors. No new camping permits are being issued...

BarneyS,

Sounds like you are near West River Rd area. We'd camped, trail motor biked, snowmobiled, canoed, and even horse backed the area several times around the Brown Bridge Dam, Scheck's Place, Forks, and Ranch Rudolf area and got to know it quite well. Very nice large forested fun area. Of course, that was when we were younger and the joints worked better! Fond memories...
