Or: Luckily Missing Out on a 1980s Dead Show When Jerry Wasn’t All There We’d had that campground at Ontonagon, MI, on our summer to-do list for quite a while due to its rave reviews online and the waiting list for campsites directly on Lake Superior. If so many people love the place, surely it’s […]

Goodbye Premium @ Superior!
Today’s our last day camped directly on this little bay (you can see the thin peninsula that forms it in the photo above). Here are my straggler photos from the final few days. Landscapes/Lakescapes Blueberry Picking Complex Problem-solving Using the Propane Firepit in the Tent You Were Good to Us, Washburn Campground! Tomorrow we’re heading […]
Our Third Week Here—What Are We Up To?
Just this morning I filled out the little campground form with our vehicle info and length of stay, folded a check into the envelope, and dropped it in the “iron ranger” at the entrance to the campground. Then I clipped my reservation to the post in front of our site. So it’s official: I’ve paid […]
The View I’m Addicted To
Right behind the Airstream. This bay that leads into Lake Superior. Morning, noon, and night. I stand in the water watching, and I lie in the water listening. I listen and breathe.
What I Love about this Campsite, Part 2
(Part 1 is here.) Cool Campground When there’s wind, the lake is pushed against the shore right behind the trailer so that it sounds like the ocean. That breeze is cool and keeps the insects away. Banjo loves it. Hiking trails leave right from the campground, and there are more just a short drive […]
Seasonal Campground
I saw this practice of people parking their camper in one spot all summer back in Virginia at Small Country Campground, but only now it is sinking in as a very cool idea. Most of the campers along this section of the bay into Lake Superior park their campers here in the spring and leave […]
Premium @ Superior
Please excuse the mess on the table in the photo above, but I just love the view from inside the Airstream at this “premium” camping spot—directly on Vandeventer Bay, the west end of Lake Superior. This campground doesn’t have the woods, the privacy, or the direct lake access for the kayaks (I think) that we […]
Great Campsite, Too Little Time
We had only three days at Perrot State Park in Wisconsin, right across the Mississippi from Michigan, near La Crosse. I’ve mentioned this before but it’s increasingly relevant: more people than ever are in RVs camping. Other full-timers tell us they never had to bother with campground reservations until this year, and now they’re having […]
Eclectic Madison, WI
We’re in Madison for several reasons: a couple of friends live here (more on that in the next post), Tracy went to grad school (and drove a cab) here so knows it well, and it’s a convenient stop for us to secure a campsite for the busy July 4 weekend. Exciting, huh? It kind of […]
Wisconsin Welcome with Beer and Cheese
Potosi Brewing Co. We stayed at another Harvest Host last night and our first one that’s a brewery, the very old Potosi Brewing Company on the Wisconsin River. It was our great luck that the tap room has an outside dining area, so we sat out there and were waited on (thank you Potosi!) for […]
