Finally checking something we‘ve always wanted to do off our bucket list! In this weeks episode, we’re taking the ferry across to Drummond Island in the far eastern part of Michigan’s upper peninsula. We hope you enjoy a beautiful campsite along Lake Heron while we relax in our truck camper!
Hope you have a LARGE day!

What a wonderful life you’re experiencing. Thank you
First of all, as a lifelong Michigander, I am honored that you chose Michigan as a place for your first home. And am thrilled that you want to explore it further. Thanks for taking us to Drummond Island! I actually have not been there!!
Drummond Island seems nice and relaxing 😎. Great place for a getaway 😊. I'm happy to see you back camping again ❤.
Somehow, you popped on my feed. Having lived our entire lives in Michigan and seeing it through your eyes is a new perspective. Our son traveled all the way ip to Copper Harbor. If you want seclusion, you'll find it up there. It will not disappoint. As for Mexican food, the only place that we would recommend is Mexicotown in Detroit.
I have family who live on the island. I went one time on a motorcycle it was great!
What a cool hike. When you reached the water. I thought , what a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning!! That water is gorgeous. Thanks for introducing me to Drummond Island. Made me want to visit in the fall. 🤗
I watched the entire video, it's absolutely god damn beautiul (period) ô¿ô
Very nice. Never been to Drummond. The food you make is always awesome looking!
If you ever get to the Grand Rapids area, check out tacos el cunado for the best tacos! Also, West side is the best side. 😂
I love your guys videos I always wanted to go there and it would be amazing and if you guys wanna see bears up close go to Oswalt Bear Ranch in Munising mi there’s bear there it was amazing time when I took my family there I know you guys would really enjoy it
Thank you for sharing this video it was wonderful to see the views you captured. Barkley looked like he was having fun. I can't wait until I can visit Michigan. Be safe and God Bless.
Loved that you visited the island, we enjoy your videos. We have lived there for 13 years! I have to say you missed a great mexican restaurant on the island. Esther's was rated in the top 10 in Michigan a few years ago.
Looks like you guys had a great time on that island, great video
Love your videos
That was a neat place. How were the bugs? Do you ever grill? Watch your fingers. Our tacos are usually hamburger, seasoning, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sauce. Amelia, you miss palm trees?🌴 You have friends into camping? Michigan had some rough weather in the last week. Thank you.
Good video, enjoyed it. Love the UP of Michigan. Leaving lower Mi in 3 days to go tent camping south of Munising. So excited. Pure Michigan!! excited to see where you guys camp next.
4 hours without mosquito netting draped all over you? 😅 Some places in the U.P. you need long sleeves and pants and netting or the black flies and mosquitoes will carry you away 😂 Seriously, we were at De Tour village in 2020 but didn't cross to Drummond Island. It was getting late and we had an appointment to see a sunset at Mackinac Bridge, we barely made it back to Straits State Park to watch the sun go down. That turned out to be one of my best sunset pictures.
Absolutely gorgeous state. Very breathtaking scenery ❤❤
There is mexican restaurant in Alpena that is good. Mangos.
I just began watching your channel a couple weeks ago and love it. Welcome, belatedly, to Drummond Island! I have lived here on the island since 1970. I married an Islander who was in the U.S. Navy. He was a blind date many years ago. Township Park is a lovely setting to enjoy our island. I believe our Silent Sports Club maintains the hiking trail you enjoyed. There is so much history on Drummond. My husband is a direct descendant of Elizabeth Seaman, who was the first Caucasian woman to settle here with her 11 children. Quite a history and it can all be viewed in our Museum located in the village. Thanks for visiting. I recently discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoy it.

The camping 🏕 spot was very nice 👌. See you in the next one adventurers 😊.
Really liked yr trip.You guys have so much fun.
The good Mexican food is downstate - there are a TON of amazing taquerias in Grand Rapids.
Fun episode, I’m glad you’re enjoying Michigan, your new home!
Best Mexican food around is at Esther’s on Drummond. Need to give it a try.
On way home check out Ocqueoc falls. The only water fall in lower Michigan. There is a camp ground across the road. Also near is turnip rock.
What an awesome video experience for us viewers. Very cool activities you both are enjoying and sharing with us.
BTW. The love we witnessed between the two of you makes you two one of the best Lovebird couples on TH-cam.
❤😊👍🏻
That cabbage and peppers are begging for bacon grease!. Very good for you, similar to lard. That looks yummy! Some lightly fried chicken fingers and some medium shrimp in Alfredo sauce and you have a close version of the Olive Gardens Chicken and Shrimp carbonara! My favorite!
Would have loved to have seen what site 12 looked like after you mentioned it. Do they have bathrooms? Missed the bathroom review. Lovely site yall had though!!
Such a beautiful island, must add it to must see/do list. What a great campsite right by the water too. Looking forward to remainder of your trip and especially your fall return
As always, stay safe out there…..
This may sound like an odd question. What do you do about health and dental insurance?
We have 4 tiki torches on a stake and 3 table top tiki torches. We burn a oil the is cedar and citronella that seems to work well. We have a Solo stove Mesa too to burn on a picnic table. All seems to keep biting flies and mosquitoes at bay. They are very compact too.
Great to see you back in the camper - looks like a fun place to camp.
Look for some Petoskey stones!
Apple maps? You are brave 😂
Check for ticks
Was that smoke from a fire you were driving through at the opening? Or just mist/humidity?
marine fog my guess

Oh man, Drummand Island brings back so many memories. My grandparents used to run a bed and breakfast there. Keep in mind this was close to 30 years ago. But the bed and breakfast was on a bay and the whole back was glass. We used to watch the freighters go by.
That sounds amazing! Such a cool island
You title is wrong. You’re on Lake Michigan. Do you have bear spray?
What!!?? They are east of Mackinaw and St Ignace. Drummond is on Lake Huron. Detour Village is on the tip of the U.P.
You guys make a great couple,another great viedo,have fun,God bless
What a beautiful island. Envious of the cooler temps!
Enjoyed the ferry boat, camping, and hiking on Drummond Island. Michigan is a beautiful State. Great video ... thanks for sharing this with us :)
What a beautiful place to camp. Always love seeing Barkley having a good time.
I did enjoy the video, you're both so kind and caring and you both are like family to I love to watching your videos all the time
I really enjoyed this one. I'm glad you're back in your element. Barkley is loving those waves!
Another awesome video. Love the locations you visit. My wife and I may add this to our list.
The only black bear I’ve seen was crossing a road just outside Hayward, WI. I was in a car but not driving so I was able to take a good photo. Definitely glad a was in a car.
What a great video of your travels
Looks aweome
Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness…
God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name
WTF ?
Hey guys, so I’m in a similar situation. I have a 2002 Dodge ram 3500 dually. I have a 1993 Lance truck camper. But I want to bring my Yamaha dual sport motorcycle. I’m trying to figure out how to bring all that with…..or switch to a toy hauler. Have you guys considered a small dual sport motorcycle? They are amazing for exploring or running to town for supplies. Cheap to drive too. Take care. Safe travels.
