*We keep our plates, glasses, silverware, and cookware in our camper year around. We also keep our Smokey Joe, fishing poles, small cook stove, grilling chimney (charcoal starter), and games in the storage compartments of the camper.

 

*The fridge stuff we keep in the fridge and just plug in when we get home. Our fridge runs on battery as well as electricity so we can keep things always stocked and ready then we just repack our clothes, add to the food and go.

When we camp, we run mostly on batteries but more information on how to make that work better is coming soon.

Camping season is coming soon

We have started planning already...

Some pictures from last year will be popping up soon to get you excited.

We hope you enjoy the preparations.

Proverbs 6:6-8 tells us to be prepared in season 

Checking the brakes on the camper and motorhome and making plans for repairs needed before the season kicks off. No one wants to be stranded on the side of the road.

Most campgrounds in our area do not open until the last weekend in April but that is only a few short months away.

To peak your interest today I am including a photo of one of John's favorite breakfasts. When this is sitting you can actually hear it "talking" as it continues to get ready to fry up.

It makes me think of liquid amber pouring over the stack and saturating it with sweetness that is created from the good Lord by excreting sap and cooking it down. Yum! Spring can't come fast enough if the snow would just melt it would be a great time to start getting ready.

Sourdough pancakes

Book 3 Coming Soon

What mystery is within that bottle?

Black Lake Coveted Site 19

 Everyone Loves this site and what's not to love.

We're lucky to get this site one time a year. It cost the same as the other sites but is right on the water with a great landing to pull your smaller boat, kayak, or canoe right into your site. And the view..... 

The scenery offers many views including wildlife!

Worn out from all the walking!

Book 2 Recently released

 I've released another new book. 

More camping coming soon!

Some fun places to eat in Ontonagon MI

 While camping just outside of downtown Ontonagon we thought we would explore some and try out some of the area places to eat.

So we made a couple of different trips into town.

We tried Syls which was quite delicious. We had breakfast there and took pasties back to camp with us. We really enjoy the pasties from Syls. We bake one and split it with a salad for lunch.

We enjoyed a great treat after we visited some area parks

Just for fun we stopped and had lunch one day. It was very good, arrived quickly, and was hot. I couldn't finish it all so had the leftovers for lunch the next day. Often times when you order a french dip it is lunch meat, but this is not it is a true slice of roast beef.
