3/20/2021 Cheboygan, MI Hey, it’s Che-boy-again. Our last minute addition to the itinerary. We abruptly turned into the park as we approached. A snoozing Gob is startled awake by the change in direction. As we approach the trail head parking lot, he appears unconvinced that another hike is necessary. I roll his window down, andContinue reading “Cheboygan State Park”

W.J. Hayes State Park
2/22/2021 Onsted, MI Tired of Gob moping and pouting that he had missed our last adventure, I agreed to take him for a little trip of his own. He insisted on his own frozen lake adventure, but 2 days and 200 miles south, the ice proved to be too thin. As puddles formed in ourContinue reading “W.J. Hayes State Park”
Sleeper State Park
2/20/2021 Caseville, MI I guess this is Michigan’s take on “white sand dunes” – at least in the winter. A quick hop over the pedestrian bridge, and we were transported to trails and campsites. I imagine this to be the perfect weekend getaway when it’s warm and sunny. The campground has an adorable lending libraryContinue reading “Sleeper State Park”

We tried to explore the Lakeplain Prairie Trail but it was unfortunatelyContinue reading “Algonac State Park”

Mason decides he wants more adventure, so we instead wind through the forest for a longer hike.Continue reading “Ludington State Park”
Port Crescent State Park
June 6, 2018 Port Austin, MI Us Michigan newbies did not expect the lake effect winds and northern latitude to make it so much colder than Ohio. After our first night, we duck into a thrift shop for some sweats. Once at the park, we learn that there are showers. Mason quickly opts to goContinue reading “Port Crescent State Park”
Pinckney Recreation Area
June 5, 2018 Pinckney, MI You always remember your first. First Michigan State Park that is. For me it was Pinckney Rec Area. We were contemplating a move to the state, had newly converted our minivan into a camper, and had just purchased kayaks. So obviously the best way to gather decision-making-evidence was a roadContinue reading “Pinckney Recreation Area”
