Boondocking Columbiaville, MI (LaPeer, MI)

Saturday – Tuesday, July 1-4, 2017

I have got to say that our Boondocking experiences have been some of the best experiences of our trip thus far.  Again we needed to find a spot to stay for the weekend and again we were able to find a boondocking friend, actually a lovely couple.

We parked by their pond...according to our host the whole area is a big water area and you only have to dig a bit to create a pond.  I don't doubt this fact as it seemed that everyone here had a pond.  We spent an enjoyable three nights with these folks which included watching the wildlife come to the pond, hanging by a campfire, and best of all playing with their visiting grandchildren.

We also went to neighboring towns and checked out their beaches.  The temperature hovered in the high 80's and 90's, so finding a beach was very important.  Again we used our Michigan State Park Pass and ended up at a state park up the lake.  At this point we are hanging out around Lake Huron.

    

We also went to the movies...another great way to get out of the heat and humidity...We chose a movie based on the time, not really knowing what it was about...well lucky for us it was a shark attack movie....not.  With my increased paranoia about various things a shark attack movie was probably not a good idea.  Luckily it didn't increase any innate fears I might have, but it wasn't really a very good movie.  The best parts for me - air conditioning and a stupid, albeit funny, photo opt ☺
