The Plan This year, we decided to do a similar trip to what we did last year. We packed up the camper and headed to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for some time close to Lake Superior. We had a great trip last year and got some idea of what’s available. It’s a lot of…

Posted on June 2, 2022 by KC8JC

My family took our first trip out in our new camper. Naturally, I took the radio along. We were in a private campground on the OH/PA border. Literally on the border. Walking on the street had us in both states at once. It was cool! That said, it wasn’t in a POTA entity by any…
