Trip to Coldwater

We left Camp Lord Willing about noon today and headed for Coldwater Michigan for the Escapees Tri-Cahpter Rally (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana).  There were already 5 rigs here when we arrived.  We have 56 rigs preregistered and they should all be here by Thursday.  Pictures of the 6 rigs already here are posted on the Chapter Blog. Should be a fun week and we won't let the off and on rain spoil it.

Where we is

Excuse the grammer of the post title, I just couldn't resist.  We are in our "second home" at Camp Lord Willing near Monroe Michigan.  Since our good next door neighbors, Bob & Nancy Kraft, left before we arrived in June of 2014 the site next door has steadily gone down hill.  There is currently an old 5th wheel on the site and the owner passed away somtime last winter and the "estate" is tied up in probate.  There is a potential buyer for the rig that is anxious to get it and clean it up.  We hope that happens soon!!


Our site last June 2014 Bob & Nancy are gone from next door

Our site when Bob & Nancy were still here next to us.
Notice their nice screen house, Bob kept their site immaculate.

Where the Campground is in Frenchtown Township just at the north end of Monroe Michigan


We are on site 48

Our good friends and fellow Escapees Dick & RoseMarie Hartman are just down on site 44 from us,  They are also not too happy about the sight on site 46 either. I have not taken any pictures of the site this year as yet, maybe later this summer if the site next door improves.  We certainly do miss Bob & Nancy Kraft.

Testing Live Writer

This post is just for testing Windows Live Writer.

The map attached is the route we took last week from Duncan RV Repair in Elkhart Indiana to Camp Lord Willing in Monroe Michigan.  We went a little out of our way in order to fuel up at the Flying J near I-80 and I-280 outside of Toledo before entering Michigan,

The publish link was very slow from Live Writer to Blogger and then it was a little slow loading the post in Blogger to edit the post and add the links and this paragraph.  The one thing I did like about Live Writer was the ability to make the picture any size I wanted, and not just the pre-designated sizes in Blogger. When I checked the Blog after the last update I did not like it that the picture did not display the original size when I clicked in the picture to enlarge it.

Same map below loaded with Blogger instead of Live Writer.
