7-31 to 8-12-14 Camp 113.

We've been “ camped “ (moochdocking) at our friend's house in Houghton Lake since July 19^th and have been out-tripping from there about once a week. Our decision to go directly to Houghton Lake from the upper penninsula of Michigan was a good one. We've seen a lot of friends and had the chance to bop around upper Michigan sporadically.
Two weekends ago we camped at Reedsburg Dam State Forest and enjoyed some good weather.

Had visitors all weekend and our friend Carrrie Westbay played her guitar for our entertainment. We stayed til Tues and returned to Jerry & Terra's place.
Our moochdocking camp is in the country and has a nice bonfire pit and lots of wood. Happy hour prevails every evening and Jerry, the master smoker/cook, has been feeding us well and Terra has been fixin' breakfast regularly.
Our good friend, Dora, has even managed to getaway from her business, The Back Door Saloon, for a few days.

She joined us a Reedsburg and paid a visit Sunday too. It was good to see her. We've been going to her Spaghetti Dinner every Wednesday and camping in the parking lot overnight.
My buddy Jerry is Rolling Earthquake's master mechanic here in Michigan. He's going to do a brake inspection, rear brakes seem to be hanging up, and replace a universal joint next week. He's always worked on our motorhomes for years and does high quality work.
Last Friday we visited Chi-Town

which our friends Cindy & Willie own. Another outback campout. Our friend, Pam, was DJ'ing a large class reunion and we all had a great visit. Sat up even after they closed up and chatted into the late night hours.
If you're ever in the Houghton Lake, Mich. Area we suggest you visit The Back Door Saloon and Chi-Town if you like good food.
I think we've been spoiled by all the good weather. Today is a gloomy, sprinkly kinda day so we'll probably do some reading and TV today. I might even do some paperwork and organizing that I've been putting off. (procrastinating??)
We've been starting to talk about our takeoff date. My oldest daughter, Nicole, thinks she'll be visiting up here over the Labor Day weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing her .
I hate travelling on a holiday weekend so it'll be soon after that when we get on the road again. We might do a Niagra Falls trip after this.
My blogger friends are all starting to mull over plans for fall. It seems we all start getting wander lust ( hitch itch) about the same time every year. You'd think we were migrating birds, wouldn't ya??
Hope ya'll are having a great summer. We are !!


REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY !!
