STOCKBRIDGE, MI: Our Michigan Travels Begin

Yesterday (Monday) was our day to say good-bye to Decatur, In. We spent 5 nights dry camping in a grassy field as part of the Fleetwood 65th Anniversary Rally.  All of our 15 camping neighbors departed by Sunday evening.  With the forecast of possible severe weather,headed elsewhere and few moved to other sites with vacant spaces on pavement.  We decided to just stay where we were rather than pack everything to move on Sunday and then move again on Monday.

The severe weather went around us on Sunday night, but it rained most of the night.  As we were ready to hook up the car yesterday morning, the rain storms returned.  We decided to head to the rally site which was on our way out of town and hook up there on pavement rather than in the soaked and puddle-filled field.  After waiting out another shower or two, we headed east to Ohio then north to Michigan under rainy skies which eventually turned sunny.

We're now at the Heartland Woods RV Resort near Stockbridge, MI - a Coast to Coast park with a site fee of $10 per day for members like us.  It's out in the country in a wooded setting about 35 miles from Lansing, MI.  We planned to stay for a week, but we're rethinking that decision as we couldn't get a sewer hookup (need to do laundry soon) and there's no laundry facilities in the campground or close by.  The cell phone reception is iffy  at best and that also affects our WiFi connection.  We can go to the information center on the property for free WiFi, but that's definitely not as convenient as having access in Little House since we spend so much time with our computers.  We'll have to see how the days pan out.
