Anyone planning on being in the Mackinaw area over 4th of July that would be interested in a get-together?
We will be camping on the Mackinaw City side of the bridge and will have our jet skis with us. We got lucky this year and got a campsite right on the lake.

That sounds awesome Jessie but unfortunately it would take alot of knockout goodies to get me across that bridge pulling our trailer . We do go quite abit down this way in Monroe at the KOA there ok so I'm chicken too many close calls maybe when we get a bigger vehicle to pull the thing I'll get the nerve up to go further. When we first got it we drove straight to the Dayton get together and I swear I didn't breathe until we got there and my knuckles were white as a ghost and all cramped up from holding on for dear life . If you're ever interested in coming down this way we're in ;D

We like to stay at Jellystone Parks and there is a good one in Fremont, IN. That's on the Indiana/Ohio/Michigan border . . . but I don't know if it would be any closer than what your drive to Dayton was.
Anyway, we are probably going to try and get reservations there for Labor Day as we couldn't get in for Memorial Day. It's one of the better Jellystone parks. I'll let ya know if we decide to do that . . . maybe we could have a gathering there.

Ok... I am suppose to post for Robin that lives in Michigan here. She can't get in to post right now but wanted all you Michigan bound people to know that she is VERY interested in a Michigan get together. She wanted to know more about the Jellystone camping and if they have cabins, which I told her they did. So, I posted the link for you all on the Indiana Jellystone park you are talking about www.campjellystone.com/indiana/indiana-camping.htmlShe also said July 4th would definately NOT work for her!! So... Jessie girl..Robin said that you coming like you said on Labor Day weekend to that Jellystone sounds like a PEACHY Idea!!!! And that one on the border there would be closer for more familes to get to! How about that you other Michiganeers??? heehee A.

Excellent!!! I will call them tomorrow to see what they have for openings for Labor Day - I would hope this is far enough in advance! I'll ask about cabins as well.

Ok.. just for kicks and grins I looked to see how far it was to Fremont, IN. It is 6.5-7 hours for us from where we are.... Susan, it's about 9-9.5 for you. It's the same for us like when we went to Columbus last year. So... I am going to talk to Kevin and I don't know if we can swing it for sure.. but I'd like to see if we CAN swing camping for Labor Day. We finally have a tent to THAT would be WAY cheaper then doing a hotel.... Jessie.. can you let me know the prices for the campsites when you find out info on the camping and cabins? A.

Cathy - OMG, sorry for the confusion. My initial thought was hey, we will be in Mackinaw for the 4th, anyone else going to be there - but no one was going to be and then somehow it got moved down to the southern part of the state for Labor Day. Which actually ended up being a campground in Indiana that borders MI, IN and OH! C'mon girl, keep up! ha ha
So, anyway, if you are going to be in the Mackinaw area over the 4th, our family will be there! ;D
What part of the UP are you in? Brian's grandma still lives in Marquette so we make it up there a few times a year. Yup, my guy is originally a yuper!

Jessie, Jessie, Jessie...........No chance your crew can come to Louisville for the July 8th weekend? We'd LOVE to meet you all!!!
And, what about Ohio for Labor Day? Good ole Ohio? You know..... the place we always meet??? Somebody check and see if there is a good campground in the Dayton/Columbus area. (and maybe close to a Holiday Inn??? LOL)

Hmmm, that's very tempting. I'm so envious of these get togethers that I haven't got to go and meet anyone yet!
I'll check with hubby on the Louisville thing. I actually may be in Kentucky for my job in the next few weeks, but I know that all of you won't necessarily be in the area at that time - and I wouldn't have my little guy with me. I will be in Frankfort which looks to be only about 50 miles outside of Louisville.

K, I'm scrapping the suggestion of Fremont, IN (Jellystone) for Labor Day. I just called and, first of all, they are almost booked already! And, second, it's more expensive on a holiday weekend.
Maybe we'll just have to pick another off-holiday weekend for a camping excursion, whether it's in Michigan, Indiana or Ohio.

Jessie,
We are in Crystal Falls, close to Iron Mountian, but spend a great deal of time (drs) in Marquette. You will have to let me know when you are up there... I can arrange the one and half hour ride on little to no notice. NOW that is my kind of get together... close by!
I will keep Mackinaw in mind, haven't planned that far yet, gotta get my annual pilgrimage to the Chicago area this summer or my mother will disown me (if she hasn't already).
Thanks for clearing things up for me!
Cathy
