#5 Butterfly Tracks - Chasing Waterfalls
I wish I could show you all of the adventures we had here in Upper Michigan but we packed a lot of sightseeing in while we were here. One of the most outstanding was a boat trip on Lake Superior for the Pictured Rock tour where we saw several waterfalls spilling in to the lake.
Stepping Stone Falls is a man made work of art in Michigan on the Flint River. It's very easy access compared to all the falls we've been to so far. Being man made gives it a different twist and it is a work of art.
The 13 miles of colorful Sandstone walls and coves of pictured rocks were painted by minerals like copper, Iron and lime that leak out from the groudwater and springs.
There are many caves and rock arches etched into the shore walls. Rainbow cave is the deepest formation along the coast.
One of the rock formations is named Indian Head after what people say looks like and old Indian;s profile. One formation resembles three massive battleship bows in a row. A cylindtrical formation with a narrow base is called Flower Vase. It even has trees growing from the top.
The 65 foot boat backs into Chapel Cove to give a closeup view of the vertical walls.
The Spray Falls cascades 70 feet over the cliffs into Lake Superior from Spray Creek.

Moje poštovanje
Can get more info about water boiler
Really like this build. How find out about meet ups
Nice serene video Jan, we all need this at some time
How do you find out about the meet ups ?
We have a Facebook group for women only that is very supportive and full of information. We have women only meetups and caravans. There are a few required membership questions to answer. 💙🦋💙 Butterfly Tribe Women who Camp: facebook.com/groups/794347871824247/?ref=share
How about a cutting board ?
Good idea. 💡
Wow, what a beautiful place!
It really is!
Awesome! I have been looking for a simple version of this. Are you able to leave it attached and close the hatchback at night? or does it have to be removed first?
I can close the hatch. It just droops down and goes back when you open the hatch.
@@ButterflyTracks great! ty!
I’m so glad I found you! I’m about to semi-retire and I have been thinking about what comes next. I’m on my own and have wanted to find a group of like minded women. I want to travel and go see the beauty of this country and didn’t want to go by myself. One video and I’m inspired. I have a lot to learn, especially about the equipment side of this, though I was an avid tent camper in my younger years. Any suggestions on Videos? I’m going to watch more here, and I would love your suggestions.

Absolutely breathtaking!!!❤
It really is!
I think turning your little stove on for heat is dangerous, be careful!
Thanks!
Clever is a good name!
👍
have to put holes in plywood or foam will get mold from moisture
I edited it out for time sake but they did.
Dats d spirit mam,I just adore u lots of hugs n love ❤ u r a real inspiration. GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤❤
Where are/were you? Also… Just one more reason I prefer camping in my van rather than a tent!😅❤
Me too! No tents for me. It 😊
Absolutely Beautiful Van, so clever, what a lovely lady.
We agree! 💙🦋💙
Loved the narration throughout. Beautiful 😊
Thank you so much, Clara. 🤗
What is going on there Jan? I hope you are ok😂
Whew, no damage. First time I've ever seen hail that big.
Oh my goodness 😮
Wow Jan! Great footage of beautiful lake Superior!! Wishing I was there!
Thank you very much, Mary. Wish you were here. 😊
Didn't know you were in Michigan! Would have loved to meet up for a night. Sorry to have missed you. Michigan is a beautiful state! I'm lucky to call it home! The Great Lakes, Upper Penninsula, and all of Michigan is a beautiful, natural wonderland.
Yes it was! 🤗
Oh my, looks like a dozen ice machines gone berserk! Hope all the windshields are intact!
No damage! Whew!
This is the smartest small build I’ve ever seen.
😊👍
Great video! How did you secure the storage cabinets down ?
All the furniture fits so tightly that it can't move. 😊👍
😮 stay safe!
All is well! 🤗
Yikes! Hope it didn’t dent your car.
No, but it sure sounded like it would. 😱
Yikes. Hope all is well.
So loud! 😱 But no damage. 😊

Hope no damage was done.😮

Hello Jan. Stay safe. 🙏🏼
That is awful. Made me cringe!!
😳😵
You have to kind of be in good shape. I don't see any rollator or scooter. I love this for you all. I would love to travel. However, in todays craziness I am not sure it's safe to travel alone. Continue doing what you love. ~
Beautiful and colorful. You picked the perfect music for this video.
Thank you very much! 😊
Oh Jan, that boat tour was absolutely amazing. Just breathtaking.
Yes it was! 🩵🦋🩵
I love seeing the doors thrown wide open in the middle of the beautiful forest but all I can think about is skeeters buzzing in my ears all night! 😖
I have bug screens and a bug zapper that is my favorite gadget. 🩵🦋🩵
Im 43 women, never married , no kids, i almost lost hope in life you bringing inspiration back to my life, God bless✨️

What a delightful lady! We're in Ann Arbor, MI so she'll love her camping experience along the Great Lakes! Nice set up too! Many thanks for sharing...
Many thanks for watching. 😊
The music was perfect with the boat ride
Thanks!
It is beautiful except for one thing i'd want to dive in that water!!!!😂
I know, right?! 🌊
June 2024 - Jan: How many times did you need to order the AllPowers to have one work? I was impressed by the reviews and ordered one. I was a bit upset when it arrived broken and they said just to send it back. I so wanted to get a replacement but they said there were none available. Bummer. 😢 Is it still working? Should I try them again? Thanks
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them. I'm in love with mine. With the 200w solar panel on the roof, I never run out of power and I can cook with electric gadgets now. Oh, and the one they sent me worked.
"Stop dreaming, just do it! " -- what a great plaque!
😊👍
Jan, your video brought back some very fond memories I have of travels in the Upper Michigan area. Thanks!
That's awesome! 😊
WOW! Just beautiful! You captured the romance wonderfully on your video! Thanks for sharing this adventure Jan! Just loved this video!
Thanks for being a virtual passenger. 🩵🦋🩵
Stunning video! This eas goid for my soul. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Another beautiful video!

Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
What an interesting woman. I really enjoyed all the information she shared.
