I will also be up there.  I should arrive early Wends AM.  I am staying at the Burt Lake campground for 2 nights and the Holiday Inn on Friday night.

Good luck up there!!

The wife is taking vacation so we are packing the kids up and going camping the entire time.  Any suggestions on a campground?  We were going to stay at the Cheboygan State one but is Burt Lake campground just as good?  Will it fill up?

B

[SethV]

Never been to either one.  Dan stays at Aloha State Park, he may have some insight.  Hopefully they won't fill up mid week.

You can make reservations online for camping sites. it is somewhere on the DNR website.

Ya I know about reservations but I wanted to pay at the campground and not put it on the credit card.  I bit the bullet and registered at Burt Lake State Park.

What space did you get?  It would be cool compare notes in the evening.

I need a space big enough to park 2 truck/boats.  Are the spaces large enough for that?

Seth

I wish I could answer your question.  I've never been there.  I got #28.  I've been to several other state campgrounds and if the lots are laid out the same it might be tough to get 2 boats and trucks into 1.  Are you tent camping?  We'll be tent camping.

I am in space #47.  I looked at on the ariel photos, no trees wide open.  Should be ok to get 2 trucks + 2 boats in there.  We are just sleeping in our trucks.  I put a regular matress in the back of my Suburban, screen on the windows for fresh air, a nice fan, plug in the coffee pot and it is not too bad.  Be sure to stop in for a cup of coffee!!

I dont drink coffee but we'll have the full camping kit with us - propane stove and all.  Bring some eggs and bacon over and the wife can cook it up for ya.

Ok Brian,  I just couldn't keep my mouth shut on this one,  how do you know your wife will cook?  Why is it we always get nominated to do the cooking?  Not that she wouldn't or I wouldn't be being asked to before someone shows up and then hearing,  I told them you would cook for them,  that would be like saying to someone that doesn't even know how to cast a fishing rod,  oh no it's great just show up and my husband will take you fishing!  Again not that he wouldn't but being forwarned is a good thing!!

Just thought you might need some help in this area,  by the way tell the little lady I said hello!

[SethV]

Ok Brian,  I just couldn't keep my mouth shut on this one,  how do you know your wife will cook?  Why is it we always get nominated to do the cooking?  

Why else would the wife go along? 

Am I in trouble now?

I'll wake her up an hour before we launch for practice.  That's plenty of forewarning!!!

Umm.. ya why else would the wife go along?

I think I'm going to have to change her GLB password again. 

Breakfast is 1/2 hour after I wake up   Which I'm hoping is before sun up.  That's if I dont get mad at the alarm clock and permanently hit the snooze.

I would be very interested in getting on the water with you if you haven't found anyone yet.  As you know I hit a deer with my boat.  I sent you a PM.
