Houghton lake camping trip

This is the campground where we stayed this weekend.
We got there on Friday afternoon and set up. Set up time
is getting a lot quicker everytime we go. Anyways we set
up and sat around and relaxed the rest of the night.



The truck and the camper. The weather was kind of
cool but great for camping. Saturday we got up and
had our coffee and just relaxed. The temps were about
28 degrees. We decided we would take a ride over to my
dads house for a little while.


This a picture of Houghton Lake, Mi we took on
Saturday. It was a beautiful day. Just a few clouds
and it was around 55 degrees.


Here is another picture of Houghton Lake.

Here is a picture Dan took at a stop we made
comming home from my Dads. It is Muskegon river.
Here is another one of Muskegon river and a little bridge.
We went home and got our showers and was relaxing and I
heard a horn blow. I looked out and it was my Dad and his wife
Brenda. They came to check out our little camper and campsite.
I was really suprised. They stayed about a hour and left. Dan and I
just sat and relaxed the rest of the night. The next day we woke up
around 6 am and was freezing our butts off. The propane ran out in
one of the tanks. We are getting a gauge for them darn tanks, all
done freezing my butt off. We packed up and was on the road by 10 am.

Sunday morning @ Cadillac woods

Well we got up and I made us my farm fresh eggs, bacon and toast. We sat around and had our coffee and just took in the beauty of the colors and the leaves falling. We hated to have to pack up and go but all good things come to a end. We packed up and went to the dump station to deposit our load. Lol. Then off we went on our way home. We could not have asked for more. It was just beautiful weather and a relaxing time there at the Cadillac woods campground. Thanks for reading my blog and keep a reading for more of Lori and Dan's Great Expeditions.

Campfire and camper

Well it is afternoon and to warm for a bonfire so we decided to go to see my Dad. Were there for a couple of hours. I just love my dad so much. He is the best. We left there and headed back for the campground. Dan had to stop and pee so I got out and took a picture of the ole country dirt road. It turned out nice. I also took some pictures of the energy wind mills. Them things are huge. We finally  got back and had a little bit to eat. Dan started a bonfire and mixed up a jack and coke and we sat back around the bonfire. We thought we would play alittle yahtzee. Well let me share something with you. We were playing yahtzee and my honey put the dice in his jack and coke by accident. He looked at me and we both cracked up. He has done this before not drinking though. But it was still funny. We started to get hungry so we got out our little bonfire sandwich makers and I mixed up pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni  in a bowl and we had pizza pockets. Mmmm good! We sat by the fire and just relaxed. Well it was now time to go in and get our showers. We just layed back and relaxed the rest of the night.

Dan and our camper

Well morning is here and we got up and had some coffee. It is already a nice day. We are having upper 70 degree weather in October. Indian summer I guess. I hate to see it go. We really didn't do much but play with our new smart phones that we got. Technology I tell you is something else these days. It is amazing. I took some pictures of our campground and the cabins in the morning. I really loved this little campground. All the leaves were falling and it was so beautiful. Above are some of the pics that I took of the campground

Our 2nd camping trip

Well this is our second camping trip with our new camper. We got off of work and Dan had the camper all hooked up by the time I got home. We had a little bit of stuff to pack. We got on the road and had to stop at a few places and then get a bite to eat. We arrived at our campground at around 6:30 P.m. We camped at Cadillac Woods. We got settled in and sat around and relaxed. We both were getting alittle hungry and didn't feel like cooking to much so we headed to cadillac and got us a bite to eat. I know crazy right? Well when your hungry your hungry. Lol. We got back to the campsite and took our showers and played a little yahtzee then some tv and time to hit the hay.
