We Had No Idea! Sleeping Bear Dunes + Leelanau Peninsula | RV Michigan

We live here in MI. We just got back from that area. I have to say to you, Great Content and Story Line, Photography, and Editing! You two are pro's! nice work!

I just watched your Sawtooth Mt & LHS video. I’m camped just north of LHS and am going to go at 8am like suggested. But I’m glad you enjoyed my home state MI! It’s a beautiful peninsula!

Yeah Michigan weather is always confused on what it wants to be any day of the week. :D Traverse City is great, Mari Vineyards is one of my favorite wineries. And Mama Lu's Taco's is an amazing place to eat !

Can one say about Michigan weather? As a native, we take it in stride. Always pack jeans, sweater/ jacket/ sweatshirt, tennis shoes & socks. The Great Lakes generate their own weather system. We never know what Canada will send us either!! LOL.

Here in Detroit we call that "the West Coast".

Would love to be able to contact you directly and get tips for our trip in August

I hope you got to try morel mushrooms while you were there too...at least where I was from in Michigan morels where as big as cherries. I remember getting paid $20 (keep in mind it was late 90s) for one single white morel, I still got to eat half of it. They are so tasty all you need is butter to fry them up, no spices needed.

This was great fun, thanks!!

I loved that view so much it got me to go down.. Lol.. The climb was really strenuous and tiring though but it was challenging and fun.. Had a lot of laughs and fun afterward💕❤️ glad you enjoy yourself 😊

🍀great video - live in southern Ontario and sadly never explored Michigan other than a few trips to Detroit. This inspires me to get out of the city limits 😊

Lake Michigan and Michigan Beaches are easily Top 10 in The World.. Salt and Shark Free.

Excellent video

I lived in Michigan for 26 years and went to the dunes over 10 times and did not know that Pierce Stocking was an actual man who built the road. Thanks for that!

Pro tip for getting back up the big dune. Walk backwards. I've had to make that climb quite a few times.

I did that 30 years ago. Probably couldn't make it up it now.

Be sure to add "Cross Village. There is a restaurant called "Legs" and it has great food. GOOGLE Cross Village.

Woohoo! Enjoyed your quality video... good review, quality views, and fun events.... thank you for your RV times !

As a Michigander. We are so happy you had a good time. We hope people were nice to you.

I wish people would talk about the hike or take to even get this point. I didn’t know and went yesterday and couldn’t even make it to the water ☹️ I didnt have a clue that I had miles of sandy hills to hike before you even get to this point. I drove 4 hours and couldn’t even get to the water 🤬 after hiking two hours I had to tap out or pass out. Is there a trick I’m missing? Is there another place to park??

Every day he makes you coffee, remember that when hes old and crippled, every day you can wipe his butt and clip his toenails.

Best kept secret. Looks beautiful

Just returned from My brother and sister-in-law’s in Traverse City, always a fun trip. This visit we did the Empire Bluff Trail, walked out to the Frankfort North Breakwater Lighthouse and kayaked on Lake Crystal @ Beulah. Finished off the day biking around Boardman Lake and a brew at “The Filling Station Microbrewery in TC.
There are a plethora of fun things to do “Up North” Michigan.

If campgrounds are full, state & national forest campgrounds are generally available. Rustic camping. No reservations.

As a lifelong Michigander I can assure you many places are absolutely awesome IF your timing is right. Glad you had fun, disappointed you didn’t take a dip in the lake. Yea, we all noticed your hair was dry leaving the lake shore *wink wink

Come check out the UP! The mitten is alright.

You got to experience pristine Michigan and I hope you enjoyed it.

It has been in the mid 80s here all summer . If you come to Northern Michigan ,you’ll leave wanting to find a summer place to enjoy .

Realize this is unsalted, no sharks , clear, clean and most the time a bit cold .

Shhh don't tell, everyone will want to come here.

I love seeing visitors enjoying our state

First time watching one of your videos. Enjoyed it very much. Never been to Michigan, but plan on going there soon. Keep up the good work.

This is one of my favorite places to go, and now my daughters ❤ are going there on their own too.

The northern LP and UP are great, the rest of MI not so much. The five months of winter, shit roads and crime ridden lower MI cities leave much to be desired.

Hi! Stumbled upon your channel, wow! Loved it…I’m a born and bread Michigan girl living now on a 50 ft trawler on Lake Michigan all summer….loving that you loved the state!

FYI most Michigan cherries are tart cherries, best for baking and cooking.

Some of the many reasons so many Michiganders are lifers.

Wow..what a great video. The shot choice and editing were spot on. You are a beautiful couple sharing beautiful moments. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for visiting and promoting Michigan

Montmorency cherries are actually the most sought after cherries for pies and tarts.

Trimmed high so deer don't strip the trees!!

Amazing video! Love the music. Who sings summer time song?

I'm proud to say I've been to all of the places you've shown! That dune (the wall) is crazy high! The cherry wines are so delicious in the Traverse city area! I'm glad you showed Fish Town too!

Pierce Stocking Drive and lookout /Sleeping Bear Dunes is one of my vary favorite places. The view from the very top is amazing and breathtaking. If you ever travel back to Michigan and get the chance to visit Frankfort, it is the most beautiful little beach town . You feel as though youre tucked away in a village town, surrounded by hilly lush areas and water . A beautiful beach and quaint shopping and eateries will greet you.

welcome to Michigan! we love the sand dunes - never knew about Leland and have been to Leelanou several times

One ur later...Michigan in July..Michiganders n 80 million people in USA record heat/ heat wave🥵

In Michigan it is very hard to get camping anywhere in a camp ground. People reserve year after year for spaces. Some of the unknown places will be easier though.

Glad you had a great time! And to anyone else wanting to try out americas High Five. bring a tube and enjoy a beautiful float down the Muskegon River, or go for a 2 night hike on the Manistee River Trail. Come to Gr and check out a sweet concert at one of our MANY music venues. Or check out DTGR. Take your shoes off and check out the gem Nordhouse beach trail, and rustic camp right on lake michigan.

its nice to visit but isn't real nice living there

Pure Michigan the best! The Sand Dunes trail to Lake Michigan is more tiring. You needed to visit Glen Arbor and the crystal lake there.
You need to visit during Cherry Festival.
Oh and Torch lake the Bomb. Did you see the Buffalos.
