Mark’s family is from Michigan, and our travels have taken us there on several occasions, but all by plane rather than RV. During one extended visit in the spring of 2009 we did a circumnavigation of the lower Michigan peninsula with a quick hop over the Macinac bridge so we could run up to Lake Superior and touch our toes in its chilly waters. The charming coastal towns and beautiful lake views made for a delightful trip.
