Weekend on the Muskegon

[Shellon]

June 23 - 26, 2006

Muskegon River in Northern Michigan

Tucked into the woods

1943 built concrete cabin right on the bank of river

No amenities, roughing it

Cooking on an open fire (can you smell the bacon and coffee in the morning?)

Just grown ups; no taking care of kids for an entire weekend.

Cabin sleeps 6

Park your RV, pitch your tent.

Relax!

Enjoy the company of good friends, great food, wander the woods, fish in the river, watch deer, probably sight an eagle, watch beavers build a dam.

For some of us, that phrase means "No internet connection. You might actually have to _go outside_ and meet *real* people!"

:D-->

[Tom Strange]

Any indoor plumbing?

[Shellon]

Negative on the indoor plumbing

Affirmative on the real people

[bowtwi]

Sounds great to me! I may even be able to pull off a babysitter so I can attend, with this much advance notice...

[tcat5]

Sounds like my kind of weekend!! But alas I am stuck here in Texas helping the kid have a yard sale. She is actually get rid of a bunch of stuff!

And while I am sitting here under our 100+ oak trees in the heat and humidity. I will be thinking of ya'll and wishing I was there. Have mucho fun! love tcat

What's the occassion? Just a camping trip?

[pawtucket]

At least we have a year to figure out internet connectivity

[Abigail]

Shell, it will take some arm twisting to get Sushi to a place with no plumbing, but I'm a veteran. I'm looking forward to it!

[Shellon]

There is an outhouse and plenty of trees for Sushi.

No internet connectivity for four days? Can ya stand it?

Yeah, David, just cuz we can.

[Belle]

No internet's bad enough, but no plumbing either???

I haven't been camping like that since I was a Brownie....

currant

Is that a peeing tree?

[TheManOfa Thousand ScreenNames]

Isn't a 'currant' tree one that happens to be there at the time?

[TheManOfa Thousand ScreenNames]

Or perhaps, one which shifts the direction of the water in a stream.

Make the coffee some first-class espresso and we've got a deal.

I think I've got a wood-powered espresso maker around here somewhere..
