    ✅ This week's episode:
    If you are looking for things to do in Michigan, consider touring Traverse City. Traverse City is known for the historical sites, lighthouses and of course, Cherries. The cherry capital of the world has a lot to offer. We explored the state park with our kids and pets. It was amazing! Lake Michigan is beautiful and has lots of beaches and activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking and boating. Traverse City weather is beautiful in June with the Cherry festival kicking off in early July. If you get a chance to explore Traverse City, check out the restaurants, shops and parks. Whether you are full time RV living or just exploring for the day, you will not be disappointed. It's worth a trip! Thank you for watching this week's episode and until the next STRANGE adventure, keep making your own!

    I was born on the other side of the state in Alpena and have lived in Florida for most of my life. Looking at the water of the Great Lakes, I think in amazement, "I could dive in and not risk be eaten alive by ten different animals!"

    Great video. I love Traverse City. My cousin has a cabin near there and I've enjoyed spending time there at the lake with them. The water level at their cabin in way up this year and lots of flooding in the area. Nice drive along the lakeshore and drone footage at the end.

    Lived there 20 years. It was a good run, but I got tired of the winters. Moved to Beautiful Prescott Arizona. Traded water in for mountains, and SUN. I have not shoveled, raked, or mowed for the last 12 years.

      They were high in the mid 80's but I was not living in Traverse at that time, so I can't compare. In the 90's and beyond the water levels were really low. I never saw it that high when I lived there.

      It was a beautiful place! There was a lot of construction happening even while we were there. The beach was awesome, except for all of the pollen in the water which I'm sure was because of the time of our visit. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out some of our other Michigan videos!
