The Upper Lower Peninsula of MI (say that 10 times)
Jul 29 Sun … Another day on the treadmill and doing more laundry. This afternoon we drove about a mile down the road to Ostego County park where we had a picnic lunch on the beach of Lake Ostego. Later we tried out the waterslide at our RV park. This was a first for Dixie. We had fun, along with all the kids also doing the slide. Tomorrow we hit the road for our 225 mile drive across the 5 mile Mackinaw Bridge to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or the “U.P.” as it is called here.
Jul 28 Sat… Back to the treadmill and time on the computer. Went to a golf course about a 1/4 mile down the road and hit some golf balls at their driving range. Found a place in town to drop off the used oil from the generator. Gave Mike a haircut.
Jul 27 Fri … Drove to Walmart to pick up a refill prescription for Dixie. Had lunch at Subway while we were out.
Jul 26 Thurs … Dixie did laundry and did research on the computer while Mike did 25 minutes on the treadmill. Later, while Mike went online, Dixie also did her time on the treadmill. Later, Mike finally got around to changing the oil in the generator.
Jul 25 Wed … The weather is to be warm and sunny today so we drove the 64 miles north to Mackinaw City where we boarded a ferry for the 25 minute ride to Mackinaw Island, MI. The ferry boat we were on did a tour of the mighty Mackinaw Bridge, a 5 mile span over the Straits of Mackinac, built in 1957. In fact, there are many activities planned this weekend in celebration of 50 years of service.
After arriving at the beautiful Mackinaw Island, (we took our bikes on board the boat because there are no motorized vehicles allowed on the island) we started out by riding the 8.2 miles around the island. We encountered a problem when only about 100 yards out of the “downtown” area, Dixie’s back wheel went completely flat. We started walking back toward town to find a bike service shop that could repair it. (Mike could have repaired it since he brought along patches and a hand pump but we didn’t want to take the time and he didn’t need the frustration.) Luckily, we came upon a repair shop after walking a short distance. They said it would take an hour so we decided to visit the Governors summer cottage which was only open for tours, lucky us, on Wednesdays. It was an interesting tour and the view from one of the highest points on the island was, in a word, breathtaking. You could see Lake Huron, the Mackinaw Straits and the Mackinaw Bridge.
After getting the bike back, we continued our journey around the island. We soon stopped to walk up a bunch of steep steps in order to view the Arch Rock. This is basically a hole in a rock that was caused by the lake waters about 4,000 years ago. Ok, so we got on the bikes again and continued our trip around the island. When we had gone a little more than half way around, decided to stop and have the lunch we had brought along with us. We sat under a tree about 30 ft from the lake, again, with a beautiful view of the Mackinaw Bridge in the distance. After lunch and a brief rest, we continued our trip. In town, we parked the bikes (there were literally hundreds of them) and walked and shopped the many stores, a.k.a. gift shops along the street. Later, we stopped at the Pink Pony Restaurant located on the water at the dock, for refreshments. And before boarding the ferry back to Mackinaw City, we had a cup of black cherry ice cream. I think someone’s trying to fatten me up. All in all, it was a memorable day in a truly remarkable part of our beautiful US of A.
Jul 24 Tue … Today we drove to an area in Gaylord where hundreds of deer and elk are in a large enclosed area where they can be viewed. We were able to view them from about 100 yards away. After that, we went to a place we go often when we’re bored … Walmart, of course.
Jul 23 Mon … Left the park at 9am. We made a stop at a local auto repair place in White Cloud to see if they could loosen the oil drain plug on the generator (it was on so tight from the factory that we couldn’t get it off when we tried back in Apr). They were able to accomplish the deed after about a ½ hr of trying. We were on the road again at 10am. We stopped for lunch at a rest area and then fuel in Gaylord, MI ($3.09 for diesel- that’s the highest since last summer when we paid the same in CT). We arrived at our destination of Beaver Creek RV Resort in Gaylord, MI around 2pm. The resort is nice…our site is paved and near a small fishing lake. We get satellite & phone but no internet. Luckily they have WIFI in the clubhouse.

More from middle Michigan
Jul 22 Sun … Attended a nice church service at the park. Dixie did another haircut and then we took a short drive to Hardy Dam and went on a 3 mile hike…very wooded with views of the Muskegon River. Tomorrow we move up the road about 150 miles to Gaylord (central part of northern Michigan).
Jul 21 Sat … One more trip to Grand Rapids to see the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum. We are glad that we tried a second time as we really enjoyed it -the museum was very well done. President Ford is buried on the grounds overlooking the Grand River. That makes 8 presidential museum/libraries that we have seen! We had a good dinner out tonight at a small café near the rv park.
Jul 20 Fri … Today we packed a lunch and took another drive. This time we went to the Silver Lake State Park on the banks of Lake Michigan. Located at this park are the Silver Lake Sand Dunes where you can rent or drive your own vehicle over the several miles of beautiful natural sand dunes. This must be the place where the “dune buggy” was born because there were all shapes and sizes of them riding the dunes. There was just as many “quads” or what we call “4 wheelers” out and about on the dunes as well. We climbed to a peak where we watched the cars climb and then hope they wouldn’t “high center” before descending down the other side. We watched a couple of them not make it and have to dig their way out in order to continue down the other side. It was quite entertaining, and tiring, because climbing the steep dunes in ankle deep sand was tough. We then drove a short distance to the Sable Lighthouse on Lake Michigan. Although the weather wasn’t the greatest, the view was magnificent!
Jul 19 Thurs … Dixie is doing hair today and Mike is looking for things to do.
Jul 18 Wed … Today, we drove about 45 miles into Grand Rapids to visit the Gerald R. Ford Museum. However, when we got there, a sign on the door stated that it was closed due to a power outage in the area. The security guard said that they hoped to get it back by the afternoon. We decided to walk into downtown and look around since it was a rather short walk. We ended up at the downtown library where we used their computers. We had lunch at a local deli. After arriving home, Mike went to the indoor pool and took a swim while Dixie did more campground research on the computer.
Jul 17 Tue … With a threat of rain we stayed around the motorhome most of the day. Wouldn’t you know … it was dry all day. Dixie worked on ‘trip planning’ for the end of the year and part of next year.

The Last Leg of our Trip
Jul 16 Mon … This morning we moved to a site where we could receive the satellite feed and was much more level. And after “sleeping in” we drove into Freemont (home of the Gerber Baby Food Plant) where we visited the rv’ers supply store, aka Walmart.
Jul 15 Sun … We arrived in CLE at 6am and waited in the Presidents Club until our 1220p flight to Grand Rapids, MI. It was a short night and a long day. We drove back to the motorhome & got it out of storage, then drove the 100 miles to the Woodlands on the Lake RV resort near White Cloud, MI. We arrived there at 530p. The site we chose was not level and very wooded.
Jul 14 Sat … Went to the local swimming pool and watched the kids swim. We checked flights back to Michigan and decided we needed to leave this evening instead of tomorrow. As usual, the flights are all full. We left the house about 6p to drive to the Tacoma Dome to see the “Walking with the Dinosaurs” show. This was the first city it has been in on it’s 2 year tour of North America. It was a great show with life size dinosaurs, a pretty amazing site! After the show Micheala and the kids dropped us off at the airport just in time to catch our 11pm flight to Cleveland. Once in Cleveland, we had a 6 hour layover but we had the Presidents club facility to make it better. We boarded the flight to Grand Rapids as scheduled at 12:20p.m.
Jul 13 Fri … We drove to Seattle and went to the Zoo. Tim stayed home since he has a cast on his broken foot. Had a great time at the Zoo.
Jul 12 Thu … Got on the 7am flight from Great Falls to Seattle. Micheala, Adriana, and Dillon picked us up at the airport about 1045a. We dropped Micheala off at Costco to work her shift and we took the kids home. Later in the afternoon we took the kids on a hike in the Twin Falls state park near their home in North Bend. Had a great time hiking and playing in the river. We picked up Micheala from work and we all had dinner at Chilis.
Jul 11 Wed …Dixie’s Aunt Eleanor visited in the afternoon. Danny & Lexi flew back to California – after we took them to the airport we went to out to dinner with Mom, Dad and Fran.

More from Montana
Jul 10 Tue … We went to the Verizon store in Great Falls and got a new cell phone. It was time for our ‘new every two’! Spent the rest of the day around the house visiting with Danny and Lexi & Mom & Dad.
Jul 9 Mon … Said our goodbyes to Steve and Denita and the kids and headed to Havre, a drive of about 72 miles. Dixie had two yearly Dr. appointments and we both had dental appointments that afternoon. After stopping at the “Lunch Box” we continued our trip to Great Falls where Dixie’s parents live. We plan to be here until Thursday when we take a flight to Seattle to visit Micheala and family.
Jul 8 Sun … Back to Turner for an outdoor church service. After that was a parade again in “downtown”. It featured floats, classic cars and restored farm and ranch equipment. Dixie wore a Hogeland Hawk cheerleader uniform from the 60’s while ridding a float. Our nephew, Levi had an accident while riding on a four wheeler and had to go to the emergency room in Havre to have a stitch in his head and several bad scraps cleaned up. He was very lucky.
Jul 7 Sat … This was the evening of the All School Reunion Banquet and Dance held in a very large tent in Turner, Mt. It was quite entertaining with a “fashion” show, awards, etc. The food was catered and was very good as well. We didn’t hang around to hear much of the band play a mix of Country and 70’s – 80’s rock-n-roll. It had been a long day, starting with the Breakfast and registration.
Jul 6 Fri … This morning, we walked from Hogeland to the farm house; a distance of about 1 ½ miles. We then spent most of the day visiting with family and friends. Tonight we got together with some of Dixie’s schoolmates in Turner. We were visiting friends outside in Turner when a strong thunder storm with lighting and wind blew in. We all ran for cover.
Jul 5 Thurs … This morning, we drove about 50 miles to the town of Chinook so that Dixie could go to the clinic to see a Dr. for the allergy problems she is having. Before the clinic visit, we stopped by the court house to renew our automobile license for another year. Later that evening, Dixie’s brother Doug and wife Fran, had us and several friends and family, over to their house for dinner. We were able to eat outside and except for a few flies, it was very nice. Since Dixie’s Mom and Dad are now “at the farm” we are now staying at Doug and Fran’s house. Many family and friends are “in town” for the Turner, MT all school reunion going on this weekend.
Jul 4 Wed … INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! Dixie’s sister Denita made two excellent kinds of pizza this evening. Steve and the kids lit firecrackers after it finally got dark enough. Up here, it’s not totally dark until about 10:30 p.m.
Jul 3 Tue … Dixie rode the riding lawnmower all day mowing around the farm. Mike did lots of trimming.
Jul 2 Mon … Hogeland clean-up day because of the all school reunion coming this weekend. Mike used the weed-hog trimmer most of the day. Dixie stayed home with Shay. That evening, a “thank you” dinner of hamburgers and hot dogs was held at the local fire station.

Houston & Montana
June 28 – Wed – Jul 1 Sun… Got to the airport early on Wednesday and was finally boarded on a flight to Minneapolis at 7:05 p.m. that evening. (Thank goodness for Dixie’s lifetime Presidents Club membership.) We learned that Northwest Airlines was cancelling many of their flights because a more than normal number of pilots were calling in sick. Apparently they have a problem with their contract. Hotel space was at a premium but we did find a room and finally got there around 12 midnight. The next morning (Thurs) we boarded a flight to Great Falls, MT where Dixie’s mother picked us up. We drove to a county park in the Bear Paw mountains for a family reunion that lasted until Sunday. We then drove to the “farm” in Hogeland, MT for more visiting with Dixie’s family. We’ll be here until Monday July 9th.
June 27 Tue cont’d – After the service, we attended a family reception dinner at Karen’s brother and sister-in-law’s home. Our plans were to travel to Montana on Wednesday, however, we decided to go to the airport Tuesday afternoon because the flights were looking very booked (being former airline employees, we travel standby) on Wednesday. We were unable to board a flight that day so Katherine picked us up and we spent another night with them.
June 22 Fri – June 26 Tue … We put the motorhome in storage and drove the car to a hotel near the Grand Rapids airport. We were able to leave the car there and caught a flight out on Saturday morning to Cleveland. From there we boarded a CO flight to Houston. We rented a car and drove to Mike’s brothers’ home in Pearland, TX where we stayed the evening. Mike’s sister and brother-in-law Sandy and Buster Reeves flew in from California as well. On Sunday we met Katherine and the boys at her sister Barbara’s home in Spring, TX. On Monday evening we attended “visitation” with the family and friends at the funeral home. The funeral service was on Tuesday at the Grace Community Church in Friendswood, TX. Since Jason was a Houston Firefighter, the Houston Fire Department made the arrangements and they did an outstanding, very professional service. Jason’s station no. 26 closed for the service and was attended by more than 300 friends and family. He will be missed.

Southern Michigan
June 21 … Thurs – We got the sad and tragic news this morning of the passing of our nephew Jason. We’re making plans to get to Houston now.
June 20 … Wed – We decided to get the bikes down and take a ride on a 33 mile bike trail. Not all 33 miles, of course. We estimated we rode about 14 miles, however. We packed a lunch and ate at a little league ball park in the little town of Alamo, MI. Needless to say, we were tired that evening.
June 19 … Tue –We drove into Kalamazoo today to do a bit of shopping. The first stop was Walmart where we bought 4 new tires for the Tracker. It took longer than expected so we walked across a main street and had a Subway lunch and then a trip to a Manards store which is a cross between a Walmart and a Home Depot. We then went to a mall where Dixie bought tennis shoes and I bought some sandals. After dinner, we met a nice couple at the park who had a dog that closely resembled our Rusty, our dog we had for almost 14 years.
