The Gourd Barn

Posted on by Posted in Boondocking .

The Gourd Barn is open from Labor Day thru October and is located on the south side of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We visited in June of 2019 as an overnight guest and stayed in our RV in the field behind the barn. You can do this as well if you are a member of Harvest Hosts.

Harvest Hosts is a membership site that has over 1500 wineries, breweries, museums, golf courses, and more that allow FREE overnight stays for RVers usually with no hookups.

The Gourd Barn was our fourth time using our membership. They were so nice and they gave us a tour of the barn. Most of this tour is in the video. Take a few minutes, watch the video and let us know what you think.

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing, Silly Stuff .

Are You Lost? The girls were for a bit at the Montana Maze and Amazing Fun Center.

The main attraction is a giant maze that has 2 levels and you are supposed to collected four stamps that spell out MAZE. Then find your way out. It took the girls approximately 45 minutes to accomplish.

They also have mini golf, go carts, bumper boats, and something called Bankshot Basketball.

It was a fun time. Let’s check it out!

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

REVIEW Emery Bay Campground

Posted on by Posted in Boondocking, Campgrounds .

We chose the Emery Bay Campground primarily because the were no open spots in the Glacier National Park campgrounds for a rig our size. Emery Bay Campground is about 15 minutes from the west entrance to Glacier National Park and is located in the Flathead National Forest .

It does not have very many sites that would accommodate our rig. hehe… we got the last one. It is located on the Hungry Horse Reservoir and even has a boat ramp. It, however, does not have very good access to the water to swim or play. There is a few places not too far away to get in the water. It worked out great for us as a single place to stay that had water access and Glacier National Park close enough to get to easily.

REVIEW Taggart’s Grill

Posted on by Posted in Restaurant Reviews .

Taggart’s Grill was recommended to us by my sister and the main reason that we decided to go was to see the peacocks wandering the property.

The food was not bad was not that great either. Dad tried the Elk Burger which was not as good as he remembers from his childhood, SHOCKER.
