Welcome to da UP eh?

Just returned from an extended weekend camping in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. If you love the great outdoors and want the kids attention go up there. Once you've crossed the Mackinaw Bridge you're in an LTE free zone LOL.

We took the wife's 2014 Escape with us on the dolly. (Mental note: remember to start the car at every stop--after the 10 hour drive home the car's battery was dead. It wasn't on the trip up because we split the drive and I had started it at the 5 hour mark.) This was the farthest so far that we've pulled the Escape (550 miles one way).

Our camping destination was the City of Houghton RV park. This is a great little campground within walking distance of the city. All 22 sites are full hook up with cable (a whopping dozen channels or so LOL). You're packed in pretty good but it is a city campground--if you want a park there are plenty around...including some really rustic ones.

Looks like a beautiful place! Not sure if we will ever get that far north/east, but sure would like to consider it. I imagine this is a good time weather-wise?

When do the leaves start turning? My bucket list has long included leaf peeping, either in the upper midwest or into New England. Perhaps it will happen one day!

Glad you had a good trip!
