Book excerpt: Social Distancing in Pure Bliss We lived in green and watery bliss for seven weeks as we hid from the Coronavirus disease (aka COVID-19) in the vast isolation of Upper Michigan. September and October of 2020 found us trekking over the ancient lava-land jutting out from Lake Superior during the historic COVID-19 pandemic that stopped the world. Yes, social distancing is simple when camping in a state with thousands of miles of shoreline and trees. Travel trailer camping in this Yooper territory filled our days with climbing volcanic bedrock, hiking virgin forests, kayaking glacier-formed waterways, and walking the magnificent shores of Lake Superior -- the mightiest of the Great Lakes. Our camper is a 2020 nüCamp T@B 400 affectionately nicknamed V-Jer after an obscure Star Trek movie reference. In keeping with the NASA theme, our full-sized Ford Transit cargo van is referred to as Saturn after the Saturn V rocket that sent Apollo to the moon in 1969 and can pull up to 7,500 pounds of trailer cargo. That's more than enough for our wheel-house. In the middle of our journey, we met up with fellow trailer campers, Tom and Babs. These guys are seasoned trippers that have just about filled up their map of visited states visually plastered on their teardrop camper. Planning a seven-week trip in week-long-base-camp experiences allowed us to explore a variety of landscapes the UP offers, from the vast Ottawa and Hiawatha National Forests to the Keweenaw Peninsula to the Soo Locks. For me, it is with great pleasure to gather information from State Parks, National Forests, municipal parks, hiking books, youtube channels, and websites that successfully result in full-days of outdoor fun-in-the-sun activities. Now, all of that information is available in a set of easy-to-read books featuring MapPages for each activity and campground. At-a-glance, grab our book and head out for a perfect day-hike or pack for a 7-week peninsula pilgrimage. Each book features a listing of the trails, lakes, road trips, campgrounds, campsites, and fees (if any). A Table-of-Contents makes it easy to select a destination. It's that easy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Camper Book will captivate all those who dream of waving good-bye to the rat race from the window of their own moveable home, be it a camper, RV, travel trailer, camper van, or tiny camper. Not just for placid retirees anymore, camper culture has sprung up among simplicity-seeking millennials, retro-loving "glampers," sports and movie stars, aging hippies, contract workers, "road-schoolers," and others. Award-winning journalist Dave Hoekstra hit the road in his own custom camper van, named Bluebird, to explore the history, culture, subcultures, and future of camper life. Traveling and talking his way through US campsites, RV parks, landmarks, and communities, Hoekstra draws out revealing stories from all walks of life—from Americans who are downsizing material goods while upsizing spiritual pursuits to RV enthusiasts such as Grammy-winning singer-songwriter John Prine and Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon. A modern-day Studs Terkel, Hoekstra provides a delightful mix of oral history, in-depth reporting, and practical information, while photographer Jon Sall's beautiful color photographs illuminate the unique people, places, and rigs that typify camper life.

Download or read book Big Two Hearted River written by Ernest Hemingway and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gorgeous new centennial edition of Ernest Hemingway’s landmark short story of returning veteran Nick Adams’s solo fishing trip in Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula, illustrated with specially commissioned artwork by master engraver Chris Wormell and featuring a revelatory foreword by John N. Maclean. "The finest story of the outdoors in American literature." —Sports Illustrated A century since its publication in the collection In Our Time, “Big Two-Hearted River” has helped shape language and literature in America and across the globe, and its magnetic pull continues to draw readers, writers, and critics. The story is the best early example of Ernest Hemingway’s now-familiar writing style: short sentences, punchy nouns and verbs, few adjectives and adverbs, and a seductive cadence. Easy to imitate, difficult to match. The subject matter of the story has inspired generations of writers to believe that fly fishing can be literature. More than any of his stories, it depends on his ‘iceberg theory’ of literature, the notion that leaving essential parts of a story unsaid, the underwater portion of the iceberg, adds to its power. Taken in context with his other work, it marks Hemingway’s passage from boyish writer to accomplished author: nothing big came before it, novels and stories poured out after it. —from the foreword by John N. Maclean
