Eaton County Fairgrounds, Charlotte, MI: May 10-11
After nine years on the road we finally made it to Michigan. It's funny, but even though Willie grew up in Ohio & Doug used to vacation here when he was little, neither of us had any clear expectations of the state. The terrain is fairly flat, and most of the forests are deciduous -- a pleasant change from the oppressive pine forests that we're more used to in the west.
When we called ahead to make sure that camping at this fairgrounds would not be a problem, we were informed that the campground was reserved for the entire week for a Samboree, which is a gathering of RVers who belong to the Good Sam Club. We are Good Sam members, so we called the "wagonmaster" who assured us that there would be plenty of room for us, since the actual rally did not start until Wednesday. It took a bit of looking to actually find the fairgrounds, but when we pulled up everyone knew who we were, and drove us right to the area where we could park. We checked out the local countryside & went shopping that afternoon & did laundry the next day.
