The Real show begins....

We have had our new RV for a few days, spending it at our families' homes here in the Detroit area. It's been great seeing them all again....but now the real RV trip begins.

Today we head north to the area around Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park - in the northwest of Michigan's thumb....my sisters and brother-in-law will meet us up there in a few days, and three of us will play golf at Arcadia Bluffs - a newish tract on Lake Michigan that receives great reviews. I'm looking forward to it....otherwise, Amy, Molly and I will settle into Platte River campground in the park for three nights. And explore the park, the lakeshore, and surrounding areas.....

One interesting, somewhat technical item to report on: this will be the first time since we picked it up on Friday that we'll "hook up" to electric service. Our solar panels and the bit of driving we've done have kept the power in our batteries full - without the need to tie into the electrical grid. Really pretty amazing.....you probably need to be an RVer to appreciate that.....

The weather forecast is fantastic - after a front moves through this morning, it will be in the low 60's and sunny for a few days. Perfect.
