Five days roughing it in the wilds of Michigan!

“Roughing” is a cliché of course. Campit has heated pool, showers, family cabins and the prerequisite gay dance hall.

And the village of Saugatuck ain’t no slouch, either. I swear the value of holiday yachts actually increased despite the economy being toilety. The charm was still there and if I could, I’d retire there in a heart-murmur.

Things of note:

Evil Panda and Thor have a new dog that transcends “adorable”. Betty the Bulldog was well behaived and utterly cute with her lop-sided underbite.

Cuties!

Evil Panda and Thor transcend adorable together ( and on their own, of course).

Grand Rapids is a place i’d like to look around more. It has a cool university town vibe and that crazy sculpture garden is massive.

Kinetics in The Sun

When you come across a five storey bronze statue of a replica of a Da Vinci horse maquette, you basically feel awe.

Bronze horse gonads the size of a Mark V torpedo is awe inspiring, too.

That's Impressive

Drug deals outside your tent at 4 am is a good sign that culture lines are blurring (camping & raving collide). It also was a sign that we were going to get little sleep due to intermittent stupidity. I don’t blame the campground, just the shitdicks who think drugs while camping is fun.

And finally, I really need to learn how to knit. Thor made me a present of a tea cozy and I’m totally wanting to take classes this winter and knit a robot sweater…

Tea time!

    Despite being home to Kid Rock, Michigan has a lot to offer. (Gosh darn that Jeff Daniels is one heckuva spokesman.) When you get up into the upper peninsula (Marquette comes to mind), your jaw drops at the rugged beauty.

    Gabriel: thanks for the tip! Love the knitted robot!

    EP: We’re convinced that camping on a non-national holiday weekend would be much better for us. Something not so busy and crammed together. We’ll deffo go back, but we’ll think about it first.

    Thor: THANK YOU! Sheila is the cutest thing in my kitchen right now. Except for me in an apron, of course.

    Dubbles: that’s the husband. That shot took us a full 30 min before we could be alone with that horse dick… kids were crawling all over it!

    The picture of you staring at the horse statue’s cock is splendid. I posted it in my blog because it made me spit up egg whites all over my work desk.

    Yeah, between the roving pack of ravers with glowsticks and the plethora of golf carts, it’ll be a while before Thor and I go back. Glad you like the sheep!
