Still sites left with the rest of us for the Wilderness State Park (Michigan) event in September. One of the side trips we will do from Wilderness involves looking for Petoskey stones. These beautiful fossils are only found in northern Michigan. Sign up for the event and find your's! More info...
The third stop on the southern road trip is Natchez, MS. We will be driving the Natchez Trace from stop two, Tupelo to get there. One side trip we will make is to Nutt's Folly (Longwood Plantation). This elaborate house was being built when the Civil War halted construction. The house was never completed. Right now all sites at the campground are booked, but keep checking for cancellations.
The fourth stop on the Road Trip South in November is near Birmingham, AL where we will visit Vulcan Park as a side trip. Vulcan is the largest cast iron statue in the world. You may still be able to get sites for the Road Trip South in November. Come join us - if not for the whole five stop trip, for one or more stops. More information...
The fifth stop on the Road Trip South is Cumberland Falls in Corbin, KY
We are taking a side trip to Augusta, GA from our camp-out May, 2019, an hour away from Calhoun Falls in South Carolina. T's Restaurant in Augusta has the best hush puppies, bar none, in the world. So says Nancy Kroes. You may still be able to get in at Calhoun...
Another event added in 2019 - October at Niagara Falls, US side. More info...
It is never to early to start planning. The NSSO will return to Tom Sawyer's RV Park on the Mississippi River in West Memphis, Arkansas in April of 2020 (yes, 2020). Eight miles across the river in Tennessee is Memphis which is exciting to visit. Plus of course for Elvis fans, Graceland is there. It is fun though to just hang out on the river and watch the continuous river traffic pass by. Watch the slideshow from our first trip there.
Way too early to reserve sites yet, but more information is here.
Michigan is a beautiful state, surrounded by the Great Lakes. The NSSO will return to Michigan in 2020 (again, yes, 2020) and camp near Alpena which is on Lake Huron. Part of the draw here is the Alpena Shipwreck cruise in a glass bottom boat. Over 200 shipwrecks are in the lake around Alpena. The cruise does not, of course, hit all of them, but what fun to see the ones they do! Too early to reserve, but do check out the webpage for this event and start thinking about coming.
