Where's the new videos at!!! lol. Taking to long. Love all your videos!!!!!! Ive been going to Tawas for 30 yrs love it there going up tomorrow for a little day trip. Love that you put it on here. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking me on your journey. I get to see beautiful scenery and quaint towns that I wouldn't get to see. I wish you and Joey a safe, fun trip.
Joey is such a cute little guy, glad you have him for your travel companion, not only does he never complain, but he agrees with all your choices!😂❤️✌🏻
Joey is just such a happy go lucky chap. I have never seen a small dog so happy in the waves. I am like you, sound of water is so peaceful and makes you feel happy.❤
Shantel, do you ever go to any libraries in these towns? Im sure they would let you charge the battery while you work.. Also free WiFi and BOOKS.. If was on the road.. thats what i would do.. also you can learn history about the area at local libraries... Good for rainy or cold days...
Honey, that's me too. I like to do errands the day before travel. It takes energy to do errands & get them organized. Then wake up the next day, get a hot green tea, & hit the road.
I love my home state of Michigan. I have been to a lot of states from coast to coast and down south but Michigan has always had my heart. I feel blessed to live here. Lived in Alpena and some tiny towns along beautiful Lake Huron. I'm glad you have enjoyed the sunrise side of this wonderful state.
One of the trickiest parts of this lifestyle is when you find an area you really like and you want to stay longer, but you know that you need to move on because the weather is changing, or you have some appointment/reservation elsewhere. I was having such a lovely time camping in TX this spring and didn't want to leave, but I knew I needed to head east to check my PO box.
I'm across the Michigan lake in Wisconsin, come on over, our state is beautiful as well!! Especially along the west side along the Mississippi river, like the Great river road, high cliff s, small towns. What a great companion Joey, yeah!! Safe travels. 👌👌👍🤗🤓
So glad you are enjoying your tour of Northern Michigan ❤❤❤ I have been to most of your stops as I lived or vacationed in that area for more than 60 years❤
Love your videos. I think If you buy a State Park annual pass you can go into any MI state park and have access to their bathroom/showers. Something to check into.
Thank you. Started another Sunday with my first cup of coffee of the day, my two black cats, Marcus and Layla, and your latest adventure 'chapter' on my TV. Wishing you a beautiful day.
Since you always need more battery power I thought I’d mention I just saw a new OUPES 2000 watt battery advertised. It will be available Sept. 11. It is smaller than most 2000 watt batteries and is only 500 dollars. I have an OUPES 1200 watt and it’s very good. Glad you are enjoying Michigan.
That's my favorite breakfast too. On the McDonald's app they have a $1 and $2 breakfast sandwich. I get both every day. You have to wait 15 minutes between. Coffee, any size 99 cents. You can't eat that cheap any other way.
Look into getting a Shower Toga. I saw the pitch on Shark Tank and I bought one. They have regular and plus size so there’s something for everyone. If I’m someplace I’m not comfortable setting up my pop up shower or I find open showers like that, the toga is perfect. I’m naked underneath. I can dry off and get dressed with the toga on and no one can see a thing. Look it up and watch the video on how it works. Once I got a hang of it, I throw it on after a hike and I rinse myself off in the parking lot or wherever I’m at. LoL. You might like it.
Beautiful flowers. Pretty sky at the end of the video. Glad you listened to your gut and decided to do what you wanted with the day. ❤ Thanks for the video! Two videos this week- score! :)
So glad you came to our beautiful state of Michigan! I live on the east side of the state, hope you get to travel around the thumb. Lots of small towns, beautiful shore lines and beaches!
I did vanlife in the Alpena/Presque Isle area for a few years while working at one of the quarries! Mich-e-ke-wis was one of my favorite spots to hang out, but honestly it’s a good thing they’re working on the road 😂 Alpena Events Complex (Aplex) has a gym with nice locker rooms/showers. There’s even a sauna. I’m not sure what the day fee is, but for future reference!
Hi Chantal and Joey! There is a ZEN Fintness in Alpena. They have a day pass for$4 and $5 for a 24 hour during normal business hours. Nice and clean with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Safe travels!
@mybasicjourney… having a mason jar from a thrift store for .25 to .50 is worth it. I cut flowers roadside and use the jar to put them in. When there’s no flowers I throw my change in it. Enjoy.
Joey definitely is a water dog, so cute😂 u can tell he was loving it in the water. I went to Muskegon n then to Holland sunday thur tuesday, it was so nice there too, I went to the beaches and climbed the light tower n climbed inside a windmill so yes that was so cool. You got me checking out beaches n areas in my state I've never had a chance to see ..next up will be tawas ❤
looks like fun. i do wanna say. make sure Joey isn't munchin' or swallowin' any snails, even the littlest ones, ok? luvu both. He did look beat. healthy exercise
Love to watch Joey and his love of water. My two little doggies would not get near that water. Joey stands strong against the waves and your sweet little giggle makes it all good. And your COFFEE ❤️❤️🐶
FYI The truck stops usually allow free cold showers. Just fill a solar shower bag with you. Start with cold 🥶 and finish with your packed warm 💦
You were in my city! Alpena 😊 I’m so glad you were welcomed with open arms
Stay safe your puppy is so cute
From one traveling coffee lover to another! Enjoy one on me! Love that you were brought roses! How cool is that!-Sue
Thank you so much, Sue!!! I appreciate this so much. 🩷🥲☕️
You are the most upbeat nomad ever. Even if your day has bumps you still smile.
Where's the new videos at!!! lol. Taking to long. Love all your videos!!!!!! Ive been going to Tawas for 30 yrs love it there going up tomorrow for a little day trip. Love that you put it on here. Thanks for sharing.
O man, you are right Chantelle, that park is beautiful. I'll have to add that to my list when I'm passing through. Great video and Happy Travels! 🤙🏾
The Roses are so beautiful 🤩 You must have made a big impression on that guy. Take care and have fun. I love Joey❤
Thank you for taking me on your journey. I get to see beautiful scenery and quaint towns that I wouldn't get to see. I wish you and Joey a safe, fun trip.
Joey is such a cute little guy, glad you have him for your travel companion, not only does he never complain, but he agrees with all your choices!😂❤️✌🏻
No Fear ! Joey's Spa Day with natural mists and waves ..and delicious coffee.What a treat!
Joey is definitely a water doggie! Water is so relaxing for me too.
Those roses tho!! That was really sweet.
Joey is just such a happy go lucky chap. I have never seen a small dog so happy in the waves. I am like you, sound of water is so peaceful and makes you feel happy.❤

Word of caution the Mackinaw bridge will be very busy over the holiday weekend.. And there is the bridge walk on Labor Day.
I grew up in the UP in Escanaba…seeing your travels and seeing the beaches bring me joy. Glad to see you back on the road!
☕️
So glad you are enjoying your tour of Northern Michigan ❤❤❤
I have been to most of your stops as I lived or vacationed in that area for more than 60 years❤
You're not too far from The Presque Isle State Harbor and Lighthouse! I have great memories growing up there and highly recommend if you have time!

Roger’s city is real nice little town. And I recommend Ocqueoc Falls. The quarry is huge and they have to view.
Roses, how beautiful and how kind of someone..... This was a good day...will be watching for next one...👍👍

I'm glad you stayed. It was such a beautiful day. I love my french vanilla iced coffee (just about anytime of the day).
Your little oven is giving you good service. Nice
lovely to see you smiling again :) and isn;t Joey so brave stood in that sea with what must be gigantic waves to him! brave little Joey!
Me alegra el corazón ver a Joey lo amo ❤ saludos Chantelle y abrazos cariñosos para ti ❤🤗✨️
It’s nice to see you go to a totally different state on a different coast !!
Enjoying the Michigan videos..
Beautiful flowers. Pretty sky at the end of the video. Glad you listened to your gut and decided to do what you wanted with the day. ❤ Thanks for the video! Two videos this week- score! :)

I do the same, clean, gas, food and then it makes exiting so much easier. Happy travels
Leaving michigan in October. Michigan is a beautiful state. It could take a lifetime to explore it. Enjoy and have fun.
Very cute bridge & park
Wow what a jice guy to give you roses! Those Michigan lakes areas are so nice love your travels with Joey.
@mybasicjourney… having a mason jar from a thrift store for .25 to .50 is worth it. I cut flowers roadside and use the jar to put them in. When there’s no flowers I throw my change in it. Enjoy.
Omg, I just tried those sandwiches friday because of you, and it is now my new addiction 😂😂 thanks 😂😂
I just got my first pumpkin pie spice creamer....there will be coffee soon!!!!
Wow! I used to live in MI, and have not thought of Alpena in a very long time. Take your time and enjoy yourself.
I lived in tawas, it's beautiful. Know I live in my rv in luzerne mi. Love your video's.
I'm glad your channel is doing well! You are a good human.

Tuesday a group of my Airstream friends from TX will be crossing to the UP. Sunday is windy…but you’ll be fine. Safe travels.
Lol I was getting your GPS mixed up with mine it said your destination is on the right, this random farm and not Targrt. Listening while driving lol.
Love to watch Joey and his love of water. My two little doggies would not get near that water. Joey stands strong against the waves and your sweet little giggle makes it all good. And your COFFEE ❤️❤️🐶
Thank you, Gloria!! 💖

There is something special about that place! The peace and tranquility really cone thru the video!!❤❤❤
Joey is so adorable!💜🐶
I have a hard time leaving Alpena too!
Lovely video. Beautiful roses 🌹 🎉

Love having my morning, coffee and hanging with you and Joey! I am planning a UP adventure next summer. Enjoyed the video very much.
Your videos are so calming! Love sharing my morning with you. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels.
I love hanging with you and Joey
Alpena has showers at the Fairgrounds available 24/7/365
You are Awesome! Great Videos!
It looks so relaxing there💜
It was! Love days like this.💖
Do you have preset times that you stay from one place to the next?😊
Love your videos!!!
Could you tell me what color nail polish you are wearing? Thanks!
Have a blessed day!
The brand Loud! in the color Babbs. 🩷
I live in Michigan, the thumb area
Are you going to the other side of the state, example traverse City
Most gyms have day passes you can buy, some have free first time use passes. Was that an option at the gyms that are in Alpena?
💜💜💜
❤❤
🌸 💙💙💙
I been missing u
👍👌🫡
Be careful drinking so many huge iced coffees - they have tons of sugar - don't become a diabetic - just a heads up.
Maybe it's ur soul telling you it's time to get off the road .... Everything has a season....
Throw those roses away. Might have a tracking device.
LOL…I was instantly suspicious of the flowers also. It’s terrible but one never knows these days.
@elcubanito2442 unfortunately, you're so right..❤
Lol I don't have a vase to put them in so they didn't last long before I tossed them.
If you knew Alpena… you might not think that. Not everyone is into nefarious activities. Random acts of kindness do exist.
Thank you so much for the info on the shower situation in the places you stay really helps us followers !
