Daily updates to the traveling Busse Bus
We left Blue Lake and caravaned with Roger and Wendy heading west to the Iowa State Fair. We needed to stop on the way so we decided on a Harvest Host called the Rhythm City Casino Resort in Davenport, IA. Welcome to Iowa! They had a huge parking lot where Read more
After the billing delay we finally left Spartan and traveled to Grand Rapids, MI to stay at a Harvest Host called Schmohz Brewery. On the way there, we ran into construction with a detour that took us around the expressway. I thought that I was getting back on the highway Read more
The Busse Bus II has a Spartan Chassis compared to the Freightliner chassis that we had on our first coach. We didn’t know much about the Spartan other than Newmar charges an $8,000.00 premium for it. In the past we had taken the Buss Bus to Freightliner headquarters in Gaffney, Read more
We left Hearthside Grove in the rain as we drove south back to Traverse Bay RV Resort. We got a different site that was on one of the many ponds. Very nice! We got there early enough to head up to the Traverse City Horse Shows to watch Jessie Minton Read more
We left Traverse Bay and headed up to the Hearthside Grove Motorcoach Resort in Petoskey, MI. We have stayed there a few times before and obviously we like the place, but not enough to purchase a lot because we still want to travel throughout the summer. Here is the lot Read more

We love boondocking with the Hockstras! Roger and Wendy Hockstra are our next door neighbors at the Myakka River Motorcoach Resort in Florida. They have a “sticks and bricks” on Blue Lake in Michigan. Our coach stays across the street from their house on Blue Lake. Wendy loves Bear and Read more
One of the main reasons that I wanted to join the Elks was that about 400 of their ~2,800 lodges allow RVs to stay on their property. Katrina booked us for a few days at the Muskegon Elks Lodge which has an actual campground of about 70 sites. We drove Read more
The Toll roads around Chicago are under construction and it really sucked to drive the coach. Slow going to stay safe! We entered another state: We traveled to South Haven, MI and stayed at the Sunnybrook RV Resort. The place recently expanded and we were able to get a spot Read more
After making the big trek back to Camp Reinberg, we got set up back in the same spot that we had vacated five days earlier. Unbelievably the place looked exactly the same! Spent the day relaxing! Friends of ours (from our Mundelein days) swung by on Saturday for a drink. Read more
