CROSSING THE BORDER TO CANADA WITH AN RVWe crossed into Canada from Michigan. I was totally stressed for the two days prior trying to determine what foods were permitted into Canada via an RV.

Within the fenced enclosure were… Continue reading Colonial Michilimackinac

TimberRidge RV & Biking Traverse City
Aug 3 – It finally happened—our RV Garmin took us down a neighborhood street with nowhere to go! Luckily, it wasn’t near as bad as it could have been, but it is not a good feeling when you see only a heavily wooded area in front of you with two narrow private drives. We unhooked… Continue reading TimberRidge RV & Biking Traverse City
