I love lighthouses. So far I have seen 276. They are so different. They give me an excuse to travel and camp. And yes, at 63 and female, I camp alone and love it!
You have discovered a slice of heaven. We treasure our Frankfort and all the area has to offer!
So welcome to my beloved state of Michigan. We are definately geared for families and camping, skiing and snowmobiling. We do have some big city theaters, art galleries and the like such as Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor and Detroit but my personal favorite is the west coast of michigan and north. I hope you get a chance to visit the upper pennensila. I have been watching your videos for quite a while and since I belong to a group of women (the camping sisterhood) who camp with out our men, tent camping is my favorite. I love your set up. I am 79 and camp with my two daughters (60 and 58) who do most of the hard work. I will keep watching your progress.
Wow💚🌲Great video. I loved it ALL! The nice float, the lake, the black squirrel 😯, the food, Kelly's pecan pastry 😋, the lighthouse, the alpacas 😍ALL of it😊thank you SO much for sharing with us. Can't wait for more😁
The Great Lakes are heaven on earth! It’s my Paradise! In my opinion they are the most beautiful lakes!
This is the guy you met at the laundromat that alpaca farm is right near where I grew up and I'm glad you have enjoyed our area.
The black squirrels were brought to Michigan by W. K. Kellogg from Africa. They have now migrated through out most of the state. Cherries are a big deal here because we are known as the cherry capital of the world. Apples and blueberries are also major crops for us.
I was just watching your video, laying back on the couch enjoying Michigan. Then you had to go to the restaurant and order the delicious sandwich and hamburger with pie! You are killing me! That not to say Kelly's cooking doesn't look mouth watering, because it is, but I guess the pie just spoke to me.
The most beautiful couple ever…period.❤️🔥
I'm so happy you are enjoying our Michigan! Keep on adventuring with us, you're going to love it!
Traverse City and around it is so amazing....Every time I've went there it just takes my breath away...Like you said it gets cool quick in the evening, but who cares when you are in paradise .....Great clean air, clean water, most polite people Iv'e been around and the prettiest place I've been to !!!
Truly blessed to live in Michigan
Love the peacefulness of your paddle. It was wonderful going along with you!
If you get the opportunity, try the Traverse City Pie Company cherry pie. In the past when I happened to be in the area I always took at least 4 pies home with me back to Maine.
Those pecan pastries are SICK 🥰 Oh my goodness that whole area is incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I was very young in the late 1960s and early '70s we used to stay at a cabin right on the Platte, at that time it was still deep enough we could take a 12 ft boat with a small outboard and go all the way out to Lake Michigan. We would be up there for 2 weeks and my dad and I would go up and down the river just about every day.
You guys are having so much fun such great food such great video beautiful water
Lake Michigan is spectacular. You feel like you are in the Caribbean. Some days the water is a much lighter blue.
The thing about the cherries is because up in that section of Michigan there are tons and tons of cherry orchards. At least there was back in the early seventies. I have been to that very same Cherry hut but way back then. It was always a huge treat for us kids.
We're in NWA and I have never seen a kayak rail system, wow!
They rail there is awesome and we were amazed as much as Cody and Kellie.
I liked how my mother made things from scratch. Still does @ 88. Thanks for bringing back memories Kelly!
Michigan born and raised !!!
I enjoy all your videos. I just wanted to let Cody know that after watching you make an omelet in the previous video--I finally made my 1st successful omelet after years of trying! I followed your steps and it worked!
Just getting back and settled in from a six day camping trip with my husband, daughter, and her friend. Gonna sit back and relax and catch up! Kellie...I thought of you this morning on my walk. I saw so many birds including my first red headed woodpecker...saw two of them!! -Hedy
When we visited that area we saw the black squirrels too.
I have so many pictures of that lighthouse in all season.
Same here! The view is always different.
I'm from Michigan but live in Arkansas now. But I'm telling you , you need to be there in October to see the fall colors. It is beautiful.
Glad you guys got to experience things we would of suggested the only thing we have done is Rocks Landing.
Platte River is awesome and in another month it will be crowded with a bunch of people having a good time.
Black squirrels. Funny thing. That campground is the first time we saw them also. We were doing a drive through of the campground. They are all over the place in that part of Michigan. We have them in our yard in Manistee. We even have a big birch tree in our front yard. lol.
Point Betsie…been there so many times and you get a different look every time. Unfortunately, the inside was never open any time we go. Maybe we were there after closing hours. There are so many lighthouse. Frankfort has one. We have one in Manistee. They are all over the place and each one is unique. See as many as you can.
Frankfort. It’s pronounce Frankfurt. Like a frankfurter. If you drive down to Onekema, good luck on getting the pronunciation of that one on the first try. Haven’t been to stormcloud brewery yet. It’s always packed. But have some great suggestions for other restaurants there in Frankfort and Elberta right across the portage lake.
M-22. You really need to drive as much of it as you can. I read somewhere that it’s the most picturesque autumn drives or voted it. It starts in Manistee and follows the shoreline up through the Lelenau peninsula and ends in traverse city. It’s really beautiful.
Cherry Hut. You are spot on. The food is great and the cherry pie even better. The turkey dinner is da bomb. We’ve also been known to stop in to buy a pie and some coffee and go over across the street to the park on Crystal Lake and eat pie and drink coffee with a beautiful scenery. The hut will give you plates and forks to go with you. It’s seasonal. It closes down in the fall and probably hasn’t been open too long. There is a cherry hut store on the hill there in Beulah that you can buy pies when the restaurant is closed for the season. Cherry’s are big in michigan because they are grown there. The cherry festival will be happening pretty soon in traverse city. You need to drive over to Glen Arbor while you are at Platte and check out the Cherry Republic. Everything cherry you can think of.
Feel free to ask ahead of time of where you may be going and we will see if we suggest anything.
Nice job guys!
Thanks!
Nice rock bass! Keep it up Cody.
For kayaking in Michigan, you need to try the Au Sable river. Put in at Graying and paddle as long as you’d like. This river hosts a canoe marathon at the end of July each year.
Frank beginning to end a fantastic video Canoeing was so peaceful & the beautiful sand dunes. Cheers Lynne Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍🏻🌹❤️🌹
You were in the right place for food, the Traverse City region is the cherry capital with many orchards, I think Michigan is second to Washington state for cherry production. Its also big for wineries as its on the 45th parallel which lines up with the great growing regions of France for wonderful grape production.
I used to live in Traverse city, now live in Burt, Mi. You guys are welcome to stay in our 10 acres if wanted. Free
Just love that you are enjoying your trip to Michigan. It really shines this time of year!
I have never seen a black squirrel until moving to Wisconsin. We call them ninja squirrels. 🤣
Love watching you cook and learning some new recipes! Michigan is unpredictable weather wise. I love to hear the comments of those who venture North! I live up here and am freezing and/or living like a bear most of the time. I'd love to visit Arkansas, but don't think I could handle the heat but would love to "live in my flip flops!" Enjoy your visit!
I have kayaked the Platte river when it was so crowded it was like bumper boats. You should go about 20 minutes north and kayak the crystal river just as beautiful.
Wow, you sure packed a lot into one video. Amazing. Beautiful couple, beautiful life. 😍❤️ The food made me drool. 🤤😋
I noticed the boot on the trailer. Good idea. No one running off with it now.
What a wonderful journey. thanks so much!
Hope you get to experience finding a Yooperlite rock or few (after dark). We were up there for 2 weeks last summer from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and I found some on Lake Michigan shoreline. (UV 365nm light required) good times for sure. Great video as always Cody & Kellie!!!
If you make it back down to the lake shore you need to look for Petrosky stones you’ll find them in the gravel where the waves come in. They’re gray with a hexagonal pattern. BTW it’s Michigan’s state stone.
We loved that area of Michigan, and when we visited in 2000, so clean!
We are from NC and fell in love with it on 2017 on an RV trip. So much that we bought a second home in Manistee in 2019. A couple more years and we will be up there permanently. Will be back up there in a couple weeks for a visits.
Yum I love cherries! Love the pup I the tub! You all should get a sweater nice and warm.
Mmmmm that cherry pie looked so yummy. My favorite. All the food looked so good. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad I ate before I watch this video, that food looks so good.
Fantastic river paddle it's so beautiful.
All of the squirrels in Harpers Ferry, WV are jet black as well. I’ve lived in WV my whole life but hadn’t seen the black squirrels until I went there
We have a town in Illinois that has white squirrels,loli love alpaca socks and sweaters too
That first fish was a rock bass 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great vid. Black squirrels are Grey squirrels with a missing pigment in it's dna. Thanks for enjoying my great State.
We have black squirrels in Colorado. I’ve only seem them few and far between. They have the pointy ears.
Since you were at the Bear dunes, you should make it to the Upper Peninsula. There is a beautiful lighthouse at Mackinaw bridge, and you need to go to Tahquamenon falls, it is gorgeous!!
Had to pause to let you know. Cherrys grow at the 45th paralell!
Goodie Goodie, kayaking! Hey that is so neat the boat launcher! Awesome and I'll bet it's nice and cool there! It's 100 on the river here!
Love Stormcloud Brewery!
Great adventure, guys! The alpacas are adorable. Check out the Outer Banks of North Carolina when you have the opportunity. The lighthouses are awesome.
I love the Outer Banks!
Wait til you get to the UP and experience the little red squirrels. Lolol.
That river is so pretty! And I looked up a lamprey.... 😱 That is a thing of nightmares 😳
Very good quality video. I didn't have any attention of committing 30 minutes to this but I really enjoyed the whole thing. Great work!
Safe Travels & Enjoy!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ohhhh that looks soooo fun! It just meanders along so beautifully. I saw jet black squirrels for the first time down in Joppatowne, MD. I thought they were unique to that location. They are beautiful, aren’t they? Michigan produces the majority of the cherries in the United States.
Glad to see a boot on y’all’s trailer
Oh, man! I want an Alpaca. I hear they're great to take hiking and they'll carry your gear. Emu's too!! 🦙🦙🦙
WOW!!!!.....great video!!!....Enjoy yourselves to the limit!!!
I think a black squirrel is just a very old squirrel 👋
You two are such a inspiration to me love the way you are keep on awesome adventures I love Michigan it so beautfull when you not in the some othe city. There a old light house in port hope Michigan it a small town real small but it is beautiful there a campground there too it on lake heron. my mom went to that place cherry place and brought home cherry salsa sauce
Great again! Thanks for sharing your journey!
When we traveled we used general delivery to receive mail. It's at a post office. You can look it up online. 😊
Yeah we wish we would of known they were having something delivered. We could of let them use our address.
Will be camping soon in the UP. Near Picture Rocks. Can’t wait to cross the Big Mac bridge again
Hey my Dome Life friends
Have been following your travels for a while. We are also in Michigan . A little north
visited Mackinac Island Wed.
camp is near. Leaving this area Sunday headed to Detroit area for 3 days. We enjoy your travels and recipes. Be safe.
PS…. We like those Dome Life coffee cup / mugs.
We are full time travelers
Will touch base again .
I’m Tim.

Those pecan tart things look delicious 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
the reason cherries are a big deal in Michigan is because Michigan is the #1 producer of tart cherries and #4 producer of sweet cherries in the USA.
First time we saw black squirrels was at our friends house just outside of Toronto when we visited them. I had the same reaction cause I didn't know they existed. Might have to make plans for Michigan in the future cause you guys really make it look great.
Another great video! Thank you, for sharing your adventure!
Man that Park look like it's a lot of fun there in Michigan. I have family there in Michigan. I need to get ahold of them so we can get together at this part and have some fun. I really really really like that kayak ramp man. That is awesome I have not ran across a place to have something like that. It makes it so easy to get from the car down to the water with your kayak & gear. I wish all kayak pieces would have something like that like the place that I kayak launch from earlier today. My family ( wife , 6 boys , & my granddaughter ) is taking me on a 30 - mile kayak camping trip & my wife invited her co-worker and her family ( husband , & 2 boys ) to kayak with us for Father's Day and boy those ramps would have helped us today get The Kayaks from the car down to the water. Good video thank you for sharing.
Love it when u share bits of history or stories as u go. The quiet during kayak trip makes us feel like we r there too. 45 years we started in tent trailer, gradually upgraded to a 35' RV. Currently @ Winnipeg Beach Provincial Campground, Manitoba 🇨🇦
Beautiful amazing lovely!
I am going camping. Alpaca. Lol. I loved the Alpaca farm.
Used to live in Traverse City. Small city of roughly 22K but would swell to around 150K during summer months as vacationers and seasonal people would arrive for the June. July and August. The Cherry Festival is a national event that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to its week long celebration. I currently live near Iron Mountain in Michigans Upper Peninsula aka Gods Country! I certainly hope your travels will allow you the privilege of traveling up the Lake Michigan coast thru T.C., up through Charlevoix, Petoskey and up over the Mighty Mackinac Bridge. This would allow you to experience "The Other Michigan", the Upper Peninsula. The remote and the rugged! i think you would be thrilled with Gods Country!
I totally agree with you. Gods country!!
Love the food cooking you do. #DomeLife#
Your pastries are artwork Kelly !
Will will be in Michigan next week!
Danny & Lynn
Love the channel , we do a 4 day 3 night camping adventure down the manistee river in Michigan!
New to your channel and loving the content and seeing both y’all’s adventures!
Traverse City is considered the Cherry Capital as for their production of cherries in the area. Highly recommend to try their cherry pie.
If you make it to Paradise, in the UP, they are the wild blueberry capital.
Don’t forget to try a local staple… pasties. Great history and great food source. Local UP miner meal.
Thank you for visiting our great state of Michigan.
I'm so jealous! Looks like such an amazing place to visit!
Thank you for the update of the tea. We love the sweet and spicy but the only chai I like is Oregon. I special order it.
Awesome vid guys thank you so much!
Can’t wait for this one!
Awesomeness!
Most post offices allow you to receive packages through general delivery. Just check the post office where you will be. It’s free of charge and you’ll only need to show your ID to pick up your package.
U guys went to places I have not heard of great vlog.
Just keeps getting better and better you guys are amazing
If you guys are heading north still you have to hit Charlevoix an Petoskey. North of Traverse city.
They grow cherries in Traverse City . That is why you see so many cherry items up there . So glad to see you having so much fun in our state
I'm into camping and all, didn't know this channel was more about cooking and recipes. Cool scenery, but I'll roast a hotdog over the fire or put on a stew and then I'm gone again.
Beautiful!
Very cool!
Excellent !
Ohh my fantastic video. So happy you all are enjoying my neck of the woods. Cody, your cinematography is so on point my goodness it's phenomenal. You two are just three best. 🌄🏕️🏞️🌄💕
