I am in West Michigan, 2 hours from Chigacoland/Detroit.
Maybe we can organize Spring/Summer regional meets.
There are a bunch of Casinos which has camp spots or lodging that is reasonably priced and great food selection.
Also, bunch of state park camp grounds with Lake Michigan views which run around $35/night.
I travel down I65 to Gulf Shores, AL a bunch of times a year too.
Anyone in the Great Lakes here?
