As Bill and I continue our workamping adventures, one thing we have agreed upon is a trip back to South Jersey in between commitments in order to visit family and friends. Thus far, after six years of workamping, this has worked very well. We have the opportunity to see our children, our grandchildren, and various … More There’s No Place Like Home!
Of course when you leave a workamping location, you talk about your experience with family and/or new friends as your adventure continues. In reflecting on our amazing summer in Michigan, it dawned on me that I neglected to share three very unique and delicious eating establishments, all of which truly deserve recognition. When we first discovered Indigo Bluffs … More How Could I Have Forgottten These Places?
…And are we glad we did! Our guided tour of the Motown Museum in Detroit was the absolute funniest, most interactive, entertaining, and informative tour we’ve ever experienced. Our guide, Cecilia, was extraordinary as she shared the history of one of the most remarkable phenomenoms in the world of music. The Museum is located on Berry … More Stop…in the Name of Love!
Most often when we leave a workamping experience, we head straight home to New Jersey to spend quality time with kids, grandkids, and friends, before heading off to our next adventure. In most cases we talk about taking our time and stopping along the route to see various things; but, inevitably, once actually on the … More It’s So Much More Than Cars…
Traverse City is known as a foodie town and indeed it is. Throughout our 5-month workamping experience we tried to sample as many different restaurants as possible. In much the same way that I cataloged various wines and vineyards in previous blogs yet left it up to you to visit, taste, and determine your favorites, let me … More A Tale of Two Taverns

The spirit of adventure is always with us as we move from place to place with each passing season. I do, however, also enjoy the comfort of returning to a location where I like the people, the … More 3…2…1!
Another activity we have enjoyed wherever we travel and workamp is kayaking. There are several options here in Northern Michigan near us, including the Platte River and the Crystal River. We kayaked the Crystal River over the July 4th holiday when Bill’s daughter, Sarah, visited from Los Angeles. At that point, the river level was … More Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This!
We have been workamping in Northern Michigan since mid-May and have been living three miles from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. All season, working in the office at Indigo Bluffs RV Resort, I have told guests about the Dune Climb and encouraged them to try it. We have driven past the Dune Climb; we have biked past … More To Climb or Not to Climb…There’s No Question!
There are 13 hiking trails located within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and over 100 miles of trails including those on North and South Manitou Islands. During our time here in Empire, Michigan, we have attempted to hike as many trails as possible. Four of them stand out in our minds, and we still have … More Go Take a Hike!
Kicking off the adventure with a mimosa and a photo shoot outside the “Skool Buzz,” as our tour bus was named, we made a quick stop at Inspiration Point, a scenic lookout in Glen Arbor and a drive-through at Old Settler’s Park. There was an educational element included in this team-building experience as we visited … More Team-Building at its Best!
