metaldpod introduction - Event Date: 25 Jan 2018

Jato, not sure if you have been there yet but we are going to Manistique Lakeshore Park in August, never been there before but from their site it looks really nice, I believe this is their second year, the wife and I do metal detecting and wanted to try in that area up there.

To Jato, missed your Torch Lake reference, we were up there a couple years ago at Torch Grove campground during the big storm, had part of a tree come down on our Jeep and the wind blew our dome sideways breaking a pole and somewhat trapping us in the pod.  The pod sounded like an echo chamber with the hail hitting it, also put a little over a hundred dents in our Jeep but the pod came out without any.  Besides that it was a great trip, beautiful lake.

Welcome! We also have a 179 and enjoy it very much. I have also made a number of mods to our 179 which you can see by viewing the link in my signature. I look forward to seeing yours once you figure out how to post them.

I run Linux at home and have set up a simple web server to host my own photos. I use DNSExit for providing a free domain name to use when I post photos. I resize them using the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) to 800x600 or smaller as full-sized photos will not show up easily. I don't know if this will help you but it is an option.

For Richand Cindy, when you come a couple of suggestions. Empire is a beautiful little town in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area, we camp at Indigo Bluffs which is just east of town.  Friendly people, nice little small town shops, and a city beach right on Lake Michigan.  Closer to Traverse City we have used Torch Grove campground which is on Torch Lake, another beautiful area and about a half hour from Traverse

Congrats on joining.  We are planning to take the RPOD through Michigan in June.  Hope to get as far north as Mackinaw Island and into Canada
