host Profile

Hosted By Barbsbackyard

Age:

65+

I am a retired outdoor enthusiast with a camper van that loves to explore and meet cool people. I usually travel with husband Mike. We love all things mountain biking, (riding, building trails, and kids mountain bike programs). We are active in our local non-motorized trail club, hosting work bees and actively building and maintaining the local trails. We also road bike, Salmon fish, hike, hunt, and love being with family. We have 5 children, 9 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. As people on the go, you may or may not see much of us. We have no animals and we go to sleep early and wake up early. While here, you may want to check out the Peninsula Point Lighthouse 15 miles farther down Co Rd 513, at the end of the Stonington Peninsula. Every September, thousands and thousands of Monarch Butterflies stop here along their migration.

    For smaller Class B rigs this stop is a restful beautiful haven. Tucked in quiet woods we enjoyed a relaxing night. and the hosts were welcoming and fun to visit with. Before dark we spent time looking over the Lake Michigan bay where their property is situated. Definitely look forward to returning here!
