Winter RV Getaway to Tahquamenon Falls

[@leonardsackett9568]

One of the things we love going RVing at Tahquamenon in the winter is the TOTAL darkness and quiet at night. With the low humidity on a clear night the stars really shine and you can see millions of them. We took our 12 year old g-daughter up for a few days during her spring break. She had never seen that much snow on the ground and really went wild. Hope to get up there 2-3 times this winter.

Glad to see you enjoying winter camping thanks!

[@candacemeifert-polk7383]

Beautiful scenery! Thanks for taking us along.

[@danc9714]

We were just there this past weekend (1/29-1/31 2021) for our first time winter camping. It was a blast!

[@richardkirby8922]

KB3UFJ terrific to see a fellow HAM promoting the hobby.

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Thanks for sharing your your travels. We also love the snow ❄️👍

[@nkbbrigger3359]

No winter camping for me, but I like to watch videos of others camping in winter while I am snug as a bug in my home with my central heating

[@gregorycarson3889]

It looks so beautiful there👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾thank you guys.

[@wvoutdoorsman5326]

We really enjoy your channel. You guys are so much fun to travel with😁👍

[@lyndakayestundal3994]

I really enjoyed following your new journey 😀

[@ericdianaclark7339]

We really enjoyed seeing your videography of your winter walk, it was very relaxing and refreshing. Thank you!

[@mikeventi637]

Being from NH we truly understand the beauty of winter...thanks for a great video...

[@kaykaykayak9368]

Thanks so very much, I think I need a winter trip there!!! I have your 7 day adventure guide and used it in the UP the summer of 2019 when we did a drive around Lake Superior. It was a blast.

[@billcade3325]

Great video good job 👍

[@lorrie-thesoulalchemist3130]

You won me over when you said SE Michigan! St Clair County here. I have never been to the falls. It’s on my list this year!

[@rlstillings]

We are going in may visiting friends up in the up and going to the falls iam so excited.was born in michigan moved to washington state

[@juans3728]

With my compass i shoot a azimuth to the direction i am going knowing to return i would use the back azimuth which is half of your original azimuth. Map reading loved every minute of it. Two trees that touch and cross each other is like a mistletoe for all lovers of life.

Great video story! de K9DS, Mustang Island State Park, TX K2 Elecraft, 2021 Wonder RTB, 73

[@joycehernandez9154]

Oh, I love da UP too! Glad to have found you!

[@nicolefrenette5378]

Thank you for your winter camping videos! We tried it in November 2019 for a weekend in Algonquin Park after being inspired by you and loved it. We tried it again in November 2020 and are now seasonals over the winter in a campground in Quebec (except during lockdowns). You are right, it is our favourite season as well - nothing like hikes, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and skating on a frozen river and then being cozy in our trailer. We do not use sleeping bags - regular sheets and comforters and we are always nice and warm. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@itsalovelyride8559]

I hope you played the song by Gordon Lightfoot "The Wreck of Edmond Fitzgerald"! Such a beautiful area. I love how you are not letting the cold keep you inside. You know it's not really cold, it's bad clothes.

[@kaykaykayak9368]

That’s right just bad clothes and yes we did play the song by Gordon Lighfoot , great song!

[@bhead56]

Wish I could have had a QSO with you. Maybe next time. Enjoy your channel. Scott, K1SMK

[@salliannebrown8129]

Thank you for sharing your trip. The scenery was absolutely beautiful!!

[@rebeccahulon888]

What a beautiful state. Hope to get up there next year. This year is already planned to go out west. Thank you guys for the great video. We got our dog a doughnut bed, I think they make them big enough for Bo.

[@baridugan4692]

Question for you guys! I have seen you enjoy about every Unity travel van. Which one has been your favorite? I am searching and cannot decide on a particular model!

[@p.phelps976]

My state is beautiful

[@rvscootin3457]

Hello! de AE5WT. I saw the Elecraft. My wife and I have followed y’all for some time now. Hope I can make a POTA contact with you one day.

[@YakMiani]

I was just at Tahquamenon Falls the first two weeks of January. That was my second time going there in January. It found Taquanamenon Falls from your videos.

[@josumara7978]

Such beautiful snowy scenery! The crunch of your boots walking on the snow brought back fond memories of living in Wisconsin. I would appreciate a video on bedding options. ( loved the beach towels! 🤣) We are awaiting our 2021 LTV RT in April or May.

[@lisamarin4291]

How did you keep your tanks from freezing?

[@michelpaulcote156]

Hello. Love your videos. We have a Unity rear twin bed, and a 60 pound goldendoodle. I added a 12 inch removable tablet in front of the bed table between the 2 beds, long enough for a dog 'bed' that is about 35 inches long. Problem solved, no more dog sleeping on me or my wife. When traveling, the dog bed fits between the front seats. Very comfortable, absorbs vibration, and is warm in winter. Just a suggestion... a good night sleep is priceless... Great that you travel in snow country, RVrs don't do it enough.

[@pauldanielczyk3398]

Good to see your back on the air. I wish I knew to make the contact. DE N2HYG 73

[@kathiLGLP]

absolutely beautiful! do you mind if I ask how fast you drive on those roads? I usually do what "feels comfortable".. but on camera it seems you were fast. (not judging at all! just don't really know whats ok)... thanks!! I love watching your travels!

[@garygoerke7684]

We tried twice to get into the Falls in the summer months and we couldn't get close to it, it was so crowded we couldn't believe it.

[@pdub6453]

I love Tahquamenon Falls, but have only visited in the summer and fall. Thank you for sharing a winter experience!

[@JoBiatch]

Beautiful video. Love you guys. Take care. The radio thingy is so neat!

[@BobKeefe]

The ham radio looks like fun. Naperville IL is just next to us 😃

[@royal552]

Another nicely edited video, thank you for making us discover the beauty of the UP!

[@homelesstravelinglivingmyd9225]

On My list to visit..Thank you for sharing your journey..

[@Mark-um7rq]

Hello Michigan snowbirds here in sunny Arizona where is snowed several inches near Cave Creek on Monday. Love the video, as always. Curious how many other campers and RVs were there?

[@esthers5772]

So beautiful. Loved joining you for your winter camping adventure. We let our dog sleep on our bed when fall camping. She keeps us warm, of course she’s much smaller than Bo.

[@tamratoussaint6668]

Great video! Loved the beautiful scenery and the fun info on your hobbies in winter. Really great to see a video in your OG style again!!

[@wessebaggers]

Lol your so lucky you had towels ! You don't leave your sheets in the rv ?

[@chrislip810]

Having lived in Northwest Michigan for 20 years, I know how 10 degrees feels. The falls are beautiful, but I think I will wait until summer to visit them again.

[@RVLifestyle]

No matter how I answer that, it will turn political and ugly. So I refuse to share any more about that :-). Talking only about the RV Lifestyle.

[@chrislip810]

@@RVLifestyle All I meant was I am not missing the snow and cold this year. This is the first time traveling to Florida in our RV for the winter.

[@ggsmith48906]

Well hey there...small world! I think I just missed you! Looks like you were in site #177 or thereabouts (east side), I was over in #143 (west side). I got there late on the 30th so you might have taken off by then. My arrival was delayed a day for a couple of reasons, one being I got 40 minutes into my trip to go winter camping...and realized I didn't pack my sleeping bags!

[@RVLifestyle]

LOL... it IS a small world :-)

[@pauldanielczyk3398]

Mike let us know when you will be doing your Ham demo video. I am all set up here at the house with the linear all warmed up and ready to go. DE N2HYG

[@amilton1015]

Good morning from Curitiba/Brasil

[@bevstern8561]

We went tent camping once and found we did not bring an inflatable. We have done the beach towel before also.

[@maritatomacruz9833]

what video equipment do you use? Nice video👍

[@sallybartholomew8470]

No mosquitoes!

[@andyvast-binder4316]

where can I find an antenna tripod like yours?

[@monaosterhoudt3425]

How does your RV handle snowy roads and steep hills?

[@Alexa-bt6xu]

We are searching for an RV that is winter temp worthy for camping. Thought we should avoid black tanks and eliminated Wonder from our list. Can you explain how you winterized your Wonder and what winterization issues you uncovered. Your video was beautifully made.

[@norm4907]

Search their video’s, they have covered this extensively. Basically, keep RV winterized and flush toilet with RV antifreeze.

[@jek539]

Link for ham radio?

[@juans3728]

I beefed up my Cobra, I'm from the East coast and I'am able to speak to Hamer's from the Pacific side of the U.S., I have even spoken to a couple from Nova Scotia. A lot of fun but my suggestion is for new comer to learn the basics and codes before they embarrass themselves on the radio.

[@BrianBonner]

Do the lower falls campground have heated bathhouses? (i.e. showers and toilets).

[@RVLifestyle]

Not in the winter!

[@BrianBonner]

p.s. I'm impressed you didn't bail w/o having sleeping bags. That is the first item we pack for winter camping. :)

[@williamthawley9251]

Red Cross could use you as a volunteer with your ham radio knowledge.

[@thomastheys6681]

very cool! Thomyt klq7849

[@bevstern8561]

We have gone there before and I didn't like the steps up or down.

[@brendabardell-resch6869]

Why not have buddy's for your bed and leave in unit

[@williamthawley9251]

did you get your covid vaccinations yet?
