Quite frankly, the Gr8LakesCamper blog began as a work assignment. I'm an editor at The Oakland Press, a daily newspaper in suburban Detroit, and the powers that be wanted us to have a "greater online presence." Basically, that meant they wanted us to do more things on the Internet. I chose to write a blog about RVing.
Who would have thought that a work assignment would turn out to be a labor of love!
The unofficial motto of Gr8LakesCamper is it "celebrates the world of RV camping in the Great Lakes region. Gather around the campfire and share tips, ideas and stories on RVing, camping and travel destinations."
I use this blog to tell stories and pass along information. The stories are personal camping experiences that you might enjoy, always paying close attention to the conditions of the campground. The information typically are things I come across that you might find useful.
I welcome your comments and I don't mind friendly criticism. But I would prefer if you would share your tips, ideas and stories on RVing, camping and travel destinations in the Midwest. It's a casual conversation, and it works better if more than me is talking.
In addition to this blog, there is a companion blog by the same name at www.RV.net. That website is owned by the Affinity Group, which is the parent company for: Trailer Life and Camping Life magazines; the Good Sam Club, CampClub and Coast to Coast RV clubs; Woodall's camping publications; and many other RV and outdoor recreation publications, websites and other interests.
Gr8LakesCamper also has a Facebook page, and you can follow us on Twitter (@Gr8LakesCamper).
