hello from michigan

[Roy in TO]

We've been to a few mini's in MI over the last few years and sort of hosted some of them. There are some very nice parks.

[john warren]

what would you think about aloha state park? its on a lake, sort drive to a lot of things to see and do.
it is a popular park so that might be an issue as far as avialability.

I love Cheboygan area. would they reserve sites?
I have a lot of open weekends in June, early July, and August. So I can be flexible as to dates. Who wants to throuw out some dates and start the ball rolling?

[Roger Kimble]

aloha state park, is close to the straits, sounds like a nice park.

[john warren]

yes you can reserve sites on line.
so when???
july is usually pretty busy for everyone, maybe mid june? or august?
august might be nice , a cooldown up north by a lake. some lazy fishing,,, some hot cooking, maybe some laughing around a campfire as we watch the stars.

Does anybody know when black fly season is for the Upper Peninsula in Michigan?

I want to make sure I don't miss it. ;>)

[john warren]

It may depend on where you are in da UP. IIRC, on the Superior Shore they were really bad around the end of July and early August. But inland or Lake Mich shore temps are different so the timing may be different.

If we're talking Aloha state park, that is south of the bridge. Or is this moving north of the bridge?

Just got a new 13' scamp as well a few weeks ago, haven't used it yet. I'm over here across the lake on the west coast of Wisconsin but we're looking to do some traveling and Mi ain't that far...hope to see you sometime. Pete

a little south of the bridge, short drive to the u.p., or traverse city, or lake huron.

my brother in law lives in sheboygan, we should stop there on the 19th when we pick up our scamp.
run up threw the upper. and acrossed the bridge and your just about at aloha.

[john warren]

still mucking about the idea of a gathering in michigan. will scout out a couple ideas on our way home from backus next week to pick up the new scamp.

[Roger Kimble]

Take a look and let us know, we just need a place and time, not everyone will be able to make it, but the ones that can will love it.

[CindyL]

Steer clear of the fish fry weekend in May. MI people go to it.

So did we find a place and date?

Check out our new tire cover. I thought this was appropriate here.
