Tentative date is set for July 19-22, 2012. The place is tentatively set for Lakeport State Park just north of Port Huron, MI, in the Lower Peninsula.
There are several other campgrounds just a bit north of Lakeport that SWMBO and I want to check out before we set a place. A Facebook fan page is under construction, and possibly a web site. Stay tuned for more info.

Can we assume there are lighthouses? i LOVE lighthouses!!! Part of the reason we bought our Pod originally was so we could vacation and I could see more of them.

Links of interest Great Lakes Maritime Center in nearby Port Huron: City of Port Huron: Michigan Dept of Natural Resources - Lakeport State Park: Lighthouse Tour Planner: Serious freighter watchers will want a copy of the freighter bible "Know Your Ships." Quay Street Brewing Company in Port Huron. Get an outside seat and watch the river traffic: Great Getaways - local PBS show with lots of info and photos on their web site. Free DVDs too: Outdoor Michigan: Michigan history, birds, trees, mammals, and recipes. Also famous Michiganders. Yes, that's what we call ourselves. Wonder if the recipes use the mammals? I'll add links as I come across them.

The best view for freighter watching are at Lakeport. It's also the closest to Port Huron where there's things to see, restaurants, etc.
So let's plan on Lakeport as our roundup location.
