OTISVILLE, MI: Small Town, Large Campground

We are at the Covenant Hills Camp and Retreat near Otisville, MI, northeast of Flint, MI.  This large facility is owned by the East Michigan Free Methodist Church.  There is a 321 site RV park with full hookups, along with a retreat center, youth camps, plenty of outdoor activities including a zipline, archery course, high ropes challange course, and climbing wall.  With the free Wi-fi (good most of the time) and good cell phone reception, we've decided to stay until Monday.  Four of our days will be 1/2 price thanks to our Passport America membership.

Yesterday, we drove 22 miles northwest to Frankenmuth, MI  (nickname - Little Bavaria).  We stopped at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland for a few minutes where it's Christmas all year long.  The huge building houses just about anything you might want in the way of Christmas decorations, novelties and lighting as well as other gift items.

We only walked through a small part of the 7 acre building, but you could probably spend all day in there and still not see everything.

Hank went to  a local lab for his routine blood work, we had some lunch at Big Boy's, then shopped at Meijer's on the way back to the campground.

There are no big plans for the weekend.  The weather is warming to normal temperatures for the area - high 80's a and low 90's, but there's almost always a nice breeze.
