    Michigander here! Love all all your videos but I’ve been waiting for this one! You could truly spend a whole summer exploring the Great Lakes, and it still may not be enough time to see everything!😊
  • @Beezer.D.B.
    I've always loved your videos, but YAY! Finally a great video on Michigan! So many RV videos out there on everything from the west to the east, (mostly deserts, etc) yet very few take the route to Michigan, yet we have some of the most beautiful areas I've ever seen. Thank you, Robert.
  • @morushlow9644
    Michigan’s upper peninsula is so beautiful. Thank you for the video. Next time check out The Big Spring, Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Soo Locks, Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. I’ve been to all these places and they are amazing. 😊
  • @Mosesthecat
    Yah got me running around the house singing " riding in my RV" and your cooking makes me hungry 😆
  • I love Warren Dunes in Southern Michigan, was one of my favorite day trips from Chicago.
  • I would love to travel around North America like this and see the United States and Canada. You're living the dream!
  • Hello Traveling Robert! 3 years ago my son and I traveled from Rhode Island to North Dakota and I was able to check off 2 states that I needed to complete to conquer all of the lower 48 states, and those states were Michigan and North Dakota. Once we left I-80 near Toledo,Oh we drove to the following Michigan attractions: The Motown Museum and Ford Museum in Detroit, Sleeping Bear Dunes( 400 feet above Lake Michigan ), Mackinac Island where we visited The Grand Hotel, Fort Mackinac, ate my 1st ever pastie at Machinac Island, and Arch Rock, North over the Machinaw Bridge( SPECTACULAR!! ), Soo Locks boat tour through the locks, Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks boat tour and it was INCREDIBLE! Michigan is truly a very special place! Looking forward to seeing the Machinac Island footage. Great video Robert!
  • @lindabarker7142
    Fun Fact: I've stood on that same scenic overlook and took that same picture of the Mackinaw Bridge from The Straits State Park. Its been my screen saver nearly 4 years. Its fun to see Robert visit the places I've seen and love.
  • @78jding
    Someone already mentioned it but the west side of the UP and the Keewenaw peninsula are really great. So many good things to see and do there.
  • @LazyDaisyDay88
    My weekly treat! I save your Sunday videos until after I've had my dinner (its 7pm UK time). Then I get a glass of wine and settle down for some relaxing fun Thanks for such brilliant entertainment!
  • @jimhammer4603
    Whenever you travel YouTube it has all the information you will ever need it's the best information station I've ever seen for travel
  • @wittylas
    I'm from the Philippines and i love watching your travel videos, i feel like I'm traveling too. Haha! and i learn a lot from you about the places you visit.
  • @plattzly
    Michigan born and raised. Grew up in Detroit and now go to school at Michigan tech in the Upper peninsula. Next time stop by the west of the U.P. and lower peninsula for jaw dropping scenery (Canyon falls, keweenaw, porcupine mountains, and sleeping bear dunes) Great video!
  • @evslone
    Another great tour. You are so right about national park rangers. They are so helpful, love the places where they serve and if you are respectful and curious they will tell you about the parks and much more in the surrounding area. When I visited Cape Cod with my grandchildren they told us exactly which beaches to visit, what time of day to go and where to stop for lunch/dinner nearby.
  • @harley9218
    Much credit for exploring the UP in less than ideal conditions.
  • @tammykirwan6308
    I’m from Cheboygan MI with is just south of St Ignace and haven’t lived there in 10 years, so I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and look forward to the next episode. Thank you for sharing.
  • @dodgeguyz
    Love the UP and the northern mitten. Yes the Pictured Rocks is amazing from the boat! We stayed at Munising Tourist Park Campground. It's a city run campground right on the water. We had a water font site and were able to walk the beach from one end to the other. Don't feel bad on the weather though. We were there in mid July and the weather was just like what you experienced. After talking to people the best time for weather is late July to late August. We had a good time, but because of he weaker I tell my wife it didn't count, so we need to do the trip,again! LOL
  • @jefftunnell1964
    Hey man. We really enjoy tour travels. We also enjoy when you show more of your evenings at the campgrounds and cook. Thanks and keep it up.
  • @K.J.Ray421
    So glad to see you made it up here. I remember recommending it to you a couple years ago . I spent every summer of my childhood in Munising camping south of there at Pete's Lake. The temperature was always much cooler than home, (Menominee County), and Lake Superior was always cold so that was nice for 90 degree summers.
  • @gomogo2000
    Great choice on the pasty! I make them every year, and they are to die for! It's basically sirloin and rutabaga (or potatoes) wrapped in pastry dough. They started in Wales/UK for the workers in the mines to have a warm lunch in a pocket.
