Pod People

From Interlochen State Park we made the journey seven miles down the road to attend the 2016 RPod Eastern Roundup (ERU) at Holiday Park Campground in Traverse City, Michigan. The rally didn't officially start until Thursday but we went a day early. We've tried to attend a couple of RPod rallies before, but it just didn't work. We were both really excited to be going to our first one.

So what is a RPod ERU? Well, it is a gathering of RPods and their owners that camp together, eat together, exchange travel stories and share modifications that they have done on their Pods. We have hardly done anything to our RPod, but did walk away with a lot to think about. 

Holiday Park Campground was by far the nicest campground we have EVER stayed in (and not to mention the most expensive). We had Wi-Fi at our campsite, so it was real convenient for me to do homework in the Pod. I believe this was only the second time we had water and sewer on site as well. 

People attended from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, South Carolina, Iowa and even Canada. We met some of the greatest people here along with some of the cutest four-legged friends as well. Pod people have a common bond right from the start and there's always something to talk about. 

I thought I would share a great video from Travis that he took from the ERU . . .

Finally, here's the top three things that I learned from the ERU....

1. BOURBON is ment to be sipped and enjoyed, not chugged. Thanks to Mark for the education and samplings of bourbon. Hope to make it down to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail at some point!

2. PODLUCKS ARE THE BEST  - the first night of the rally we had a hot dog roast and everyone brought a dish to pass. Pod people know how to cook and put on a real good spread!

3. I LIKE BOURBON!
