Michiganders!!

The title of this blog is for what folks from Michigan call themselves which is not that easy to say! We made it to Michigan and will be staying in various locations throughout the state over the next three weeks. We are currently in Jenison which is very close to Grand Rapids. The campground (Steamboat campground) is very nice with full hook-ups (for those who don’t RV camp (which was us until two weeks ago) means it has electric, water and sewer to hook up the RV too).  We are right on Grand River which is beautiful. The campground also owns the Grand Lady Riverboat! We were hopeful to take a cruise but the entire time we were here they had private parties -ugh! Yesterday we found a county park that was full of hiking trails! We walked about 3 miles which for an old pup (11 years old) and two old chunky gals that’s a lot. Today we visited the most awesome dog park we have ever seen. Grand Ravines Dog Park! It fenced area was at least two acres and outside the fences there were trails all around from 2 miles to 10! We let Codey play with the other pups for a while then walked one of the trails and did some geocaching (geocaching.com). Our goal is to find at least one cache in each state. It’s a great way to learn about the area. We have kept that goal so far – woohoo! One of the trails has a suspension bridge that was spectacular. They even had a dog bathing area which Codey LOVED. He’s a true Lab and loves water. Tomorrow we head to Harbor Beach, Michigan which is on Lake Huron. On this trip we will hit three out of five Great Lakes: Lake Huron, Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. We are excited as we move along!
