There were lots of them when I was growing up and they climbed up on the bird feeder outside my Mom's kitchen window. I have never ween a chipmunk in VA. Why not? Odd to see all the sand dunes around a lake. I read a book about this woman who kayaked the perimeter of Lake Superior. Frankly, I sounded miserable. She was always cold and wet and fighting ice and waves. No thank you! Glad you are having fun!

If you have a level driveway or nearly and are willing to have folks driveway dock, you should join Boondockers Welcome at www.boondockerswelcome.com. You'd meet some fabulous people. We are off to ontonagon today to stay at Porcupine Mountain State Park. Pasties coming up in a future post. I'm sadly about 5 days behind.

We grew up playing in the desert dunes, and climbing those giant ones is something you really only have to do once in your lifetime - trashed muscles and sand in "those" places don't need repeating :-). Glad you caught the trillium blooms and answered the question "why here, now?" so quickly.

We RV in our 2000 Bounder but live in a sticks and bricks house. Just caught up with your blog as I've been wicked busy and was surprised to see you visiting in my home state. I live in Ann Arbor and have often thought of offering our driveway to those RV bloggers that I read. If you ever pass this way again shoot me an email. That said, 3 years ago we traveled to this campsite in the UP, http://www.ontonagontownshippark.com/uploads/Ontonagon_TWP_Park_6-8-14.pdf we were in site 11 or 7 and really enjoyed it. It was pretty private and our next door neighbor was a local who filled us in with the goings on in the area. Also, you talk about the cherry pie but have you tried the UP local food called the Pasties? It's a must in that area. Enjoy your stay!!!westside momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224462720183128560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-31618241470940136942014-06-19T10:00:13.401-04:002014-06-19T10:00:13.401-04:00I believe those are Eastern chipmunks.
