Hiking the Badlands of South Dakota

Hiking the Badlands of South Dakota

Last night we arrived in Yellowstone National Park in Montana after driving from an RV park in Cody, Wyoming and the Black Hills of South Dakota before that. It was a long day and we stopped way more times than necessary as we cannot seem to pass a Walmart without getting sucked in no matter how hard we try. Read More→

4 Weeks Down, 48 to Go: Lessons Learned From Our First 28 Days on the Road

Well we did it. The adventure has officially begun.

On Saturday August 2nd, we officially moved out of our house, packed 2 – 10 X 10 storage units with some remaining belongings, hauled 2 trailer fulls of stuff to donate, gave a bunch more stuff away, had a house ‘cooling’ party and rolled out of West Michigan with stars in our eyes and big dreams as we drove off into a minimalist sunset.

Macinac Island Michigan Photos: Explore an Island Without Getting Off Your Bicycle

If you have ever thought about venturing over to Northern Michigan to see the sights, I can personally guarantee you won’t be disappointed. The area has been noted as one of the best destinations in the USA by the Today Show and others (and stuff on TV can’t ever be wrong ;-). Here’s some proof that its worth your time:

This summer, we spent a long weekend on an annual family camping trip just South of Macinac Bridge and decided to make a day of exploring Macinac Island by bicycle. Its definitely worth the Ferry trip over. The island is family friendly, and you will certainly get your fill of fudge if that’s your pleasure.

There are no cars or motorized vehicles allowed on the island, so I recommend you take your bikes. You can rent bikes there for a fee if needed. Kids will love the beaches, rocks, woods and variety of treats to be had in the downtown area.

Below are some photo highlights from our excursion.
