My camping skills are evolving! And yes, I'm still in Sleeping Bear Lakeshore, MI!

The days are warm and beautiful, but we seem to get passing rain showers almost every night!

Now please come over and join us around the campfire for some cocktails!" I have to say, that was quite a special and proud moment for me. Thank goodness I got it up! I had NO IDEA people were watching!!
