Summer nest

After a five hour drive yesterday from Anderson Indiana,  we arrived at our summer hangout in South Haven Michigan.  Cousins RV Park (http://www.cousinssouthhaven.com) has been our camp for some 5 years or so and we find it a comfortable place to rest up for next winter's adventures.  I think we were the third couple (of the 'regulars') to arrive and we were all within just a few hours of each other.  So lots to do to get set up here.  Cleaning the coach is high on the list.  We ran into a storm of fish flies/May Flies/Hexagenia Limbata or some might just call them ... bugs, in Tennessee.  It was as if someone was roadside with a shovel full of pea gravel and threw it against the windshield.  Wham!  It was over in an instant.  The windshield almost went black from the impact then the 'bug juice' spread across the whole front of the coach.  So by now it is well dried on thanks to the 60 mph trip home, so I'll get to spend a few hours getting the mess cleaned up. 
It has been a great winter for us.  Great weather (for a change), interesting places to visit, and most of all seeing family and meeting old friends and gaining new friends.  It's a pretty simple formula for us and with a little luck, we'll continue looking over the crest of the next hill.
Now livin' the dream on Michigan's sunset coast.

ps ... a special shout-out to Tom and Lisa.  I think I now have some new readers from Maine.  I may be paying that area a visit later this summer so I'll need lots of tips on great restaurants to try out.


pss ... another special shout-out to our friends Tracy and Judi.  What a team!
