Tahquemenon Falls State Park

July 13 & 14

We rested for awhile at Van Riper State Park in Champion,Michigan--about 14 miles west of Ispheming. It is a great park, but we had trouble locating water? Most Michigan State Parks do not have on site water and you need a 2-5 gallon container if you holding tanks are not filled.

We left Van Riper at 10:30 A.M. and headed for Pictured Rocks. We wanted to stay at the Munising Community Park but they were booked. So rather than staying at a private park, we opted to head for Tahquemenon Falls State Park between Newberry and Paradise, Michigan. We are glad we did. Munising is a nice park, but more open than we like. The state park is nicely wooded and generally more entertaining.

We are going to Sault Ste. Marie in the morning. There are cruise boats that take you through the locks for $21 per person.

We are going off to make dinner and then showers before we review the pictures we took today. Being on the road 24/7 definitely requires a new mind set from touring.

  1. Wow! You sure are getting around up there. I enjoy reading the posts about your travels. I'm in the SKP Class of 2013 too, but don't have a rig yet. Still, I'm making progress toward that day. I started a blog to keep me focused. Click on Pleinguy.

  2. We wanted to see the Upper Peninsula before going on the road full-time. Mary had never seen most of it besides Tahquemenon Falls. Wish we had 3 more weeks to stay and see more...
