Our stay in Mackinaw City was great!

We will absolutely return to visit some of the things we didn’t get to in the three days we were in Mackinaw City . We stayed at the Mackinaw City KOA which is not too far from town and provides a free shuttle to the dock if you are planning to ferry over to Mackinac Island . We took one day to just walk the town and see what it had to offer. There are lots of lovely shops and interesting places to eat (including a Kilwins!).

Travel life is awesome, but sometimes it can be lonely

Travel life is awesome, but sometimes it can be lonely. 🙁 How do you keep loneliness at bay on the road? 🛣 We make it a priority to meet up with friends on a regular basis. Whether they are traveling with us for a few states, meeting us at a single location, or even if they live near an area we’re visiting, we find ways to meet up, break bread, share stories, and build our friendships.

What type of RV spots do you like?

We’re almost always are either in a full hook up (power, water, and sewer) or partial hook up (usually power and water) spot. But every once in a while, we completely boondock! Boondocking is where you go without any external services, relying only on what your RV has onboard. While we currently only do this for a night or two, we (should) have the ability to go for about a week “off grid”.

Let's talk RALLIES

What type of rally is your favorite? Do you normally attend only those with your brand of camper, a specific group of people, or (are you like us) and go to a variety every year?

Rallies are a great way to meet people, see a new area, learn about new products or services, and even get some work done on your RV. What’s your favorite thing about rallies?

Let's talk about National Parks

Do you have a National Parks Pass ? We bought one this year since we plan to see several over the next 12 months. While in Buffalo, we visited the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Historic Site . It was pretty neat!

Exploring Old Fort Niagara

Do you like history? Seeing history in action is one of our favorite things! Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, NY is a really neat preservation of the history of the fort. Originally built by the French to protect their stake in the new world, Fort Niagara was built in 1678 and abandoned a few years later until 1726 when it was put into use again by the French and expanded over the next few decades.

Four Mile Creek State Park

While visiting Niagara Falls , we stayed in Four Mile Creek State Park . The park is situated on the shore of Lake Ontario and offers mostly electric only or boon docking sites. You can also use your park pass to get into other state parks for free while you’re staying. The weather was even perfect for a fire one night!

Our First Time at Niagara Falls

Did you know that “Niagara Falls ” refers to the city in New York where three HUGE waterfalls are located along the Niagara River? The Niagara River is the boundary line between Canada and the United States between 2 of the 5 Great Lakes - Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

Real Buffalo chicken wings

Spending time in Buffalo, NY a MUST DO thing for us was to eat at THE restaurant where buffalo wings were invented. Steve worked at a wings joint in his younger years and makes really good wings. We wanted to see how different his were than the originals (and which were better!).
