Drove the camper up the western edge of Michigan in early September. We hit a very cool, rainy stretch of weather. Didn’t ride much. Too wet, too cold. Camped in Luddington, Sleeping Bear, and Petosky. Hooked up with the Stubers of Traverse City in Glen Arbor. We tried a group bike ride in gloomy conditions . Made it out about four miles when the threat of impending rain made us hightail it back to the cars. Good call, it started to rain within 30 seconds of getting back. We strolled down to Art’s Tavern for lunch. Rain came down in sheets for an hour straight.
The forecast was grim enough that we all just drove all the way back to Traverse City, where we hung out dry and warm for the rest of the day.
Bob came up to Petosky for a ride one day.
Most of the pics from the first gallery are in and around Luddington State Park.

Phase two of this trip was camping in Porcupines Mountains, in the UP. We met up with Howards and Walls, camped in the only RV site in the entire park. We treated ourselves to gourmet dinners 3 nights, did two spectacular hikes.
