It's not too often we get to escape from the busyness of the world and hide in the woods for a few days...but when we do...we run to the Upper Peninsula to experience some of Michigan's greatest views!
This year, we will be staying at Fort Superior Campground and things are about to get rustic. Our sites (#36 & #37) are a little bit of a hike to get to (about 5-10mins) but the views from the upper level of FSC are SUPERIOR!! (It's also about a 5-10 min hike to the nearest vault toilet.)
On Tuesday, we'll leave from the church at about 10am. From there, we'll drive to Mackinaw City for lunch before hitting the road and arriving to our campsite mid-afternoon. We'll set up camp, grab dinner, and prepare for an evening on the beach looking for petoskey stones, playing Spikeball, and enjoying the beautiful sunset!
Wednesday, we'll hit the ground running with breakfast over the fire, followed by a day on the road chasing waterfalls (Sorry TLC...we're doing it anyway).
On Thursdays, we jump off of cliffs! Easing our way to Marquette, hitting a few waterfalls, but ultimately ending up at Presque Isle Park for a pizza lunch at the park followed by an afternoon spent jumping off of the Black Rocks!
On Friday, we'll pack up in the morning and leave right after breakfast, grab a fast food lunch on the way home (bring extra money for this lunch), and return from the trip in the early afternoon.
THIS IS A RUSTIC TRIP. We will send out the packing list to those registered...but remember three things:
1) While at the site, the bathroom is about 10 minutes away (although we will have access to modern plumbing throughout the trip).
2) We're sleeping in tents or hammocks (hammocks not provided).
3) Cell phones are limited-use only and service will be VERY spotty.
