Congratulations on 1k subscribers. You are something special.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Thanks guys. We appreciate it. Thank you for all the help and advice.

[@ourrvsunsets]

You guys are crazy going down that dune and climbing back up. That would have killed me. As always a fun time watching your adventures!!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

It was fun to watch cause it would have killed me too! That’s why I stayed at the top 😅 - thanks guys - Shelley

[@beautifulflorida]

Great video! Like 23 Thank you very much for sharing!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Thank you for watching. Mike & Shelley

[@justramblinaround]

Looked like a lot of fun and a ton of hard work! That was some climb..wow!! Looks like your making some more great memories. SO important as the kiddos get older . Thanks for sharing!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

It was hard work for sure. As my pappy always said - get tough or die! Lol. So that’s what I tell the kids.

[@justramblinaround]

@@campinwiththeconfers love it!! Ron and I say stuff like that all the time. I miss those wise grandparents that really had no rules to follow!!

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Oh man, that sand dune is worse than the three dune challenges in Indiana. Well done guys!!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Well that’s good to know - we haven’t been to the ones in Indiana yet.

[@garyhahn3450]

Wow that dunes is beautiful but no way I can do that hike anymore. Thanks for sharing. I would like to visit there sometime.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

It’s nice becasue you don’t have to do the hike to see the beauty!

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Looks like so much fun! Hiking in the sand is so hard, haha! WOW that is a steep hike! We have done the official dune hike and that is hard enough. Thanks for sharing!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

I think it’s a one and done deal. Lol.

[@melissarevelez3691]

Wild! How no idea this place exists. Thanks for sharing!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

I didn’t either and I’ve lived one state away from it for years!

[@glamfamcampers]

It's been 5-6 yrs since we've been to sleeping bear. Ava jogged up a step dune with my brothers ex who was a fitness trainer so I have faith in Ava. Now the rest of the Glam Fam were out 😂😅. Shelly I have faith in you. Love that your daughter really went for it

[@campinwiththeconfers]

With Ava being a track star I bet she could do it! I (Shelley) don’t even have the desire to try it 😂. I’m happy to cheer on and send out rescue missions. Thanks for watching!

[@kelleysoutdooradventures9939]

I’m pretty sure we could not have done that. Cool video.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Thanks for watching. No way Shelley was going to do it 🤣

[@RVWagginTails]

Ask Tina about that hike when we did it years ago.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

When I see Tina I’ll be sure to ask her 😂😂

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Tell me the truth, would you do that dune climb that goes down to the water? I didn’t even know this one existed before this trip! Please subscribe if you haven't already 🙂 kzbin.info/door/cCS2nIikadyxykKmVb7uqg

[@enroutewithchuckandcherie]

Hey guys. Going a little fast on that scenic drive😂. Nice views. The dunes look amazing and that water is incredible. Looks like the ocean. Like why isn’t there a kayak rental right there? I’m sure there is other places near by but that would be cool to walk in and then kayak there. I’m with Shelly, I’m staying at the top 😂. Child abuse taking that poor girl down that hill, I’m sure it was well worth it though. I woulda had to spend the $3k to get back up 😂😂. Great job you two. And down the hill again, y’all crazy. Looked like you guys had a great time and now we have to go. Great video 👍🏿

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Definitely recommend the trip! Shelley wouldn’t have made it but she did document so l’ll give her that. Next week we will show you our most amazing site ever right on the lake!! Thanks for your support guys!

[@RealLifewithAdrianRuth]

Congratulations on your 1000 way to go guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉I love a good itinerary 😂 we keep forgetting to get a passport book . Will you guys be at the bash in October ? 4:00 beautiful views ! 9:10 I could never make that dune climb thou with my back great video thanks for sharing definitely going on our list !Love the mother bear story 😭

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Thanks you guys! Get that passport book! Though I recommend getting the smaller one. We didn’t k it there were two different ones. We will not be at the bash but do have our spot at the Glampout. How about you?

[@RealLifewithAdrianRuth]

@@campinwiththeconfers we will be at the bash but not sure about the Glampout we are planning a big trip out west and more than likely it will be in the month of June so it’s up in the air .

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Great job guys. It really is beautiful there. We are gonna go when it is not as hot and try the climb. I'm sure we won't be able to do it as fast as Mike and your daughter.

[@campinwiththeconfers]

It’s a beautiful place. We had a lot of fun. Take you time on that dune. It will catchup with you quick.

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

Poor manners to refuse the water someone was kind enough to take them!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Poor manners and crazy! Thanks for your comment, we appreciate it!! - Mike and Shelley
