American Campground - Kalamazoo, MI (July14-18)

What a campground!  We had a not so fun time finding a spot and had trouble getting all the way backed into one, only to find out it only had 110 power.   Finally found another, in full sun of course that had 30 amp.  This was on Thursday.

We were not expecting the heatwave that hit, and left on Monday, after finding out that the drag on the campground power wouldn't even run 1 air conditioner, let alone 2.  One night at 94 degrees inside was enough for Cathy!

It was a busy weekend though, as we did visit the Kalamazoo Nature Center one day, ate at the Club Car Restaurant (a 1910 Denver Rio Grande Railroad Car) and visited the library.

We also took a trip to Grand Rapids to see the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum.  This was the week that Betty Ford passed away, and the whole town was busy.

We also toured one of Frank Lloyd Wright's first "Prairie Style" homes, the Meyer May house.  The tour guide said that FLW thought people generally had too much stuff, so his houses had furniture, rugs, even dishes that he designed.  The walls were so ornate, you couldn't have hung a picture to save your life!

And on to Traverse City, MI...
