Shhhh...shores of Lake Michigan are beautiful & special. We would prefer to keep this gem a secret from more crowds! 🙂

[@judykuzmitz4566]

I live down state and have been coming to the t.c./ sleeping bear area for 40 years. I was just there last week and it is sad to see what it has become. The crowds are growing every year along with the wineries, breweries, distilleries, casinos. Just wanted to walk along the beach and put my toes in lake Michigan but we couldn't even get close enough to the lakeshore to see it. Even the hidden areas we used to go to have been discovered by the masses. It will never again be what it used to be. ☹

[@Sharon-pb7so]

@@judykuzmitz4566 We live in the suburbs of Detroit and our son's in laws bought a beautiful home with glorious views of Lake Michigan in Charlevoix. They've invited us up for a week. We're thinking we'll go maybe just after labor day when the kids go back to school so we don't have to fight for a place on the beach. It is too bad what's happened to Traverse City. My cousins live there and even they are pretty done with it now. 🥴

WOOOOOW!!! I'm from Texas and have met and worked with many from that state. I would love when they would come back from vacations. The pics they took were awesome. A very beautiful state that I would love to visit one day. Also, they would bring me Faygo and town club sodas for me to try.

Well they brought you some nice products from my state... We have so many, just like every other state might. Get out and enjoy the United States. You only live once...

This was a great tour. I am a native, 55 years old. I've been housebound for the last 5 years. Except for hospital, doctors and my sister's funeral. And 95% housebound since 2004. Our town has changed so much through my life. that these places are all new to me. Or at least their current function is new to me. Some of the places you've been are in the older buildings, but new purpose. Thank you very much, for sharing your adventure with us. May God continue to bless you and your's.

[@scottfirman]

Yes, TC has changed 100%. I stay away from down town and look for places to go tourists do not know about. I am also a native. It makes me sad to see how down town has been ruined.

First trip to Traverse City was the Summer I turned 7 years old... My mom took more photos than usual and it helped to capture exactly how Beautiful it is as well as the ERA... early 60's. My parents have both left, but the legacy lives on.. something amazing they instilled was my love for travel. So happy to see you enjoying Michigan... I have so many fond memories!!

[@EatSeeRV]

That's a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing! - Dennis

[@VKrulikoski]

Back when there were cherry orchards on Old Mission. Not Vineyards. But I'm glad somebody else remembers before the mansions starting going up. :)

[@NomadShifu]

Traverse City is the “Cherry Capital of the World.” It's also home to giant sand dunes, world-class culture and arts festivals. This gorgeous part of Northern Michigan is all kinds of surprising.

[@EatSeeRV]

It is all kinds of surprising!

[@ts58100]

It's a shame that I lived in West Michigan my whole life, over 60 years and have never been to any of these places. I think you inspired me to get up there soon. Love watching your videos, keep up the great work.

[@EatSeeRV]

Yay that's what it's all about. Hope you enjoy the sights and excited you're getting out there and exploring!

[@mandaleemilly6367]

I’ve lived in northern Michigan (about 45 min from TC) my entire life. You guys did a wonderful job of showing it off!! ❤️ St. Ambrose in the Benzonia area is amazing, they make the best mead and wine! Iron Fish Distillery is also really fun. Edit: I love how you talked to the people running the business’s and told about the history of different places, you guys killed this video!!

[@mikeweckesser4450]

Have had the privilege of calling Michigan home my entire life (35 years). We have always spent time on the water, going "up north", and exploring the U.P. As a kid I always had a great time and thought the things were really cool. But with kids of my own now and taking them on the same trips and exploring new ones I have really come to appreciate and understand how unique and amazing this state is and what it has to offer. Seeing it from someone's point of view that isn't from here makes its even that much more meaningful. Thanks for the reviews and also showing some new places in T.C. that we will be checking out when we head there for our fall trip.

[@mikeweckesser4450]

Side note. A lot of my wife's high school graduation pictures were taken at the asylum lol. Drove 3ish hours for the pictures

Milk and Honey is theeeeeee best

[@angelam8252]

I live in TC, so glad you went to little fleet and flying noodle. On your next trip, you need to do a Leelanau Peninsula wine tour. My favorite is Chateau Fontaine, and there are a few cider places as well.

[@scottfirman]

Yes ,there are way better places to go. They got sucked into the tourist trap.

[@samarariley7636]

[@EatSeeRV]

Hahaha wow that's wild! Sorry you had to avoid is filming that's the tough part of vlogging. So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@michigangrownoutdoors7254]

Just found this for the first time… being someone born and raised in traverse, but joined the military in 2010, and have t lived back there since it’s really enjoyable to see the changes in here to there. I only travel back to see family and my life long friends and to ah g out and go hunting…. And that’s always later on in the seasons when it’s cold… but it’s really neat to learn things and get the sample you offer here in the content. My favorite places to go when I’m home… the biggest one is Peegeos. It’s off the beaten path, and in the summer and normal months it’s kind of a normal bar… but they have great food. They kind of follow the realm of nascar as they’re more geared that way. And winter it’s filled with people on snowmobiles, they even rent them. Pretty cool, but can get cold. Lol And there’s of corse stuff down town but that’s getting into the thick of a lot and off topic. Just wanted to thank y’all for representing traverse how you did and seeing it from your point of view… if y’all ever go back and want some recommendations…. There’s some wineries for sure y’all should check out… that aren’t always on the quick tour destination. There’s tons up there!

[@EatSeeRV]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the recommendations! I'm sure it's a blast in winter too

I lived in T.C. for over 7 years and enjoyed it, but after I got in my 20's I started to realize that I took it a bit for granted. I've been back many times since. The Blue Angels put on an air show every other year during The Cherry Festival.

[@kramhoogness]

You guys heading even farther north? Get across the Mackinac Bridge and see the Upper Peninsula (UP). Truly the best part of Michigan. Lake Superior is absolutely incredible. There is something about that lake, the draw of its massiveness, it’s so different from the other Great Lakes.

[@EatSeeRV]

Yes we are headed towards the UP!

[@Sharon-pb7so]

@@EatSeeRV Fair warning, the water in Lake Superior is COLD! One of my cousins lives in the UP, they love it there. Try the Soo Locks tour, it's very interesting. You can get some nice souvenirs in the UP. I have a collection of little black bears, I get one every time we go up north,they're easy to spot, each bear has a chain collar and a red leash. I swear they're filled with sawdust. They're not much bigger than your hand but they're cute and don't take up much room in a motor home. Be sure to buy some fudge too.

TC is not as bike friendly as it seems, but I am happy you lucked out better than I have or some of my friends. Also 15:30 looks like the state park camp grounds, just east of 3 mile if anyone was wondering. :)

[@scottfirman]

Really? Not bike friendly? I'm afraid you are mistaken big time. There are bike trails all around the area. Perhaps you are thinking of riding in the middle of the street. 8th Street even has its own bike trail, so come on Man!

[@sherriweber7105]

Traverse City is a great place. My friend who used to work with my mom her dad before he died lived up there and owned a bed and breakfast up there. The guy who used to own Little Ceasar’s Pizza he used go stay there for at least 2 weeks at a time. Then our old family friend who lived in Harbor Springs they owned a fish market and used to drive the fish up there. We used to go swimming at the beach near their house. The beach was Lake Michigan. Thus video was great. Great wineries. I told Michigan had a lot of them. The food looked good. The weather looked good for you too! Good you sold a property. Can’t wait to see the next video.

They offer tastings and 2 bottles of wine month as a part of the membership. We experienced the Germany wine during our first tasting. We knew absolutely nothing about wine before signing up we just knew we were getting into the RV life soon and thought it would be cool to pick up bottles of wine around the country while traveling.

For those of you who "love" Traverse City..... I also live in TC and I hate to rain on parade, but this city used to be clean, water pure, roads in good shape. That is not the case in present day! All road work done and in summer here, not enough East West roads, beaches closed due to E Coli, way too many breweries, high rise going up, if you would have been here in 70's, when this town was CLEAN, you would not praise it's current condition. The city planners just care about business and money and in my opinion, are turning TC into a small version of Dettoit. As far as advertising the best beaches in State...Muskegon beaches are much better! Why dont the city planners put in more roads or make a midnight shift, this summer has been a nightmare of traffic!!!

Avoid tc

[@budgetboss6084]

Best thing to do is to avoid TC. Too many people. Go to Alpena instead. They have alcohol and a lake too.

Please wear a bike helmet when biking, especially after having a few.

Most of this video is focused on drinking wine/ciders and tasting beers. Was dissapoonted as we don't drink and need more content for other things.

Typical fudgies.

[@taurus4205]

Advice: get out of the way. Locals are trying to work. Take your trash with you when you leave the beach. Seriously.

[@EatSeeRV]

Hm not sure how we're in the way in this video? Or at the beach? If it's a general PSA for other viewers maybe reframing it a nicer and more understandable tone would be helpful?

[@taurus4205]

@@EatSeeRV no. If you lived around here you’d understand exactly what I mean. I appreciate vacationers and my livelihood depends on tourism. I have many stories and experiences with tourists that can be infuriating while on my day to day business mostly in the form of terrible driving. I also frequent the beaches around Grand Traverse Bay and am constantly sickened by the amount of trash left behind fir the locals to pick up. No. I’ll not change my tone. Thanks for spending your money now go home.

[@huntertomorroh]

No true local talks to our guests that way. The only trash here is your attitude. Thank you for the amazing video @Eat See RV ! Please, come back anytime!

@@taurus4205 quit talking like it’s only tourist that leave trash on the beaches. Your attitude is one of those that don’t represent the majority of people here!

[@toddevans4667]

Please stay away there is already too many people from out of state & tourists. Your making it a nightmare for people living here.
