It's over

Hello all!
We're back from our last motor home camping trip.
We were at Warren Dunes State Park.
Had a wonderful time!
We were pushing the season,
as it can be cold and wet, or even snow
this time of year. But the weather was just cool,
high in the upper 50's
and the only rain was a downpour Friday night.
Click on the pic to see Craig at our spacious corner site.
We felt sorry for this large group of boy scouts
at the one end of the campground.
They were all in tents! And it got down in the low 40's!



We were quite surprised to see
so many campers out this weekend.
The campground was nearly full!
And this was the last weekend
the campground was to be open.
They close October 31st.
Which is also why we are done
camping for the season.
Most campgrounds are now closed or closing.
We went down to the beach and watched this guy parasiling down the dunes. very cool! Click on the pic to see him better.
We also went to the new casino, the Four Winds Casino. It's near New Buffalo Mi. Down near the Indiana border, by lake Michigan. And it's the largest Casino we've been to in Michigan! Huge! And had a fun time! No, we didn't leave winners, we almost never do, don't know why we go. But We like the slots. And we were able to spend 3 1/2 hours there! Usually, we are done in 20 minutes! We have a small gambling budget. And when it's gone, we're done. I don't mind losing if I at least get some entertainment value, and we did!
We also went to Dowagiac, Mi. But that's another post.
Now we need to winterize the mo-ho, remove all food and liquids, beddings and towels, and add mouse traps and bait. Hope to get that done today.

  1. Glad to hear you enjoyed your self.
    We had a little snow here but it did not stay, I'm glad of that it is too early to have to deal with snow.

  2. Sounds like a great trip.
    No pictures of Four Winds?
    I, too, love the slots.
    I walked around Mohegan Sun with a handful of pennies, because their website advertised "penny slots" - of course, you have to go to a booth and pay DOLLAR bills to get a little card to play "penny slots"
    :(
    So I walked around with my handful of pennies going "But I brought pennies..." Until Linda & Mags dragged me outta there!

  3. Hey! Thanks for going to the casino. You keep my momma employed! :-P

    Helpful hint to anyone else who may be stopping by the Four Winds, go in the back way. You slip right into the parking lot without having to do that mile or two of curving road.

    Go Green!
