Almost Heaven

After the Hell we had to deal with at Shipshewana North RV Park, we felt like we deserved a break.  We got it at The Hill Campground in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.

This is a beautiful, rustic campground on the Saginaw Chippewa reservation, that offers shady pull-through sites with 50 amp service for only $18 per night.  When I checked in, the guy must have decided I deserved a senior discount because he only charged me $17.

In spite of all the huge trees, I was able to snare satellite service with our dish with no trouble at all.

After dinner, Honey and I went down to the Soaring Eagle Casino, also operated by thee Sag-Chips as they called themselves.  We were expecting a small casino with bingo and a few slots, but the place is huge.  They actually have two casinos, but the older original casino is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.  We actually made a profit on the evening – I won $150 on a penny machine, and Honey won $100 on a quarter slot.

Here is one more view from our campsite showing the bath house and pool.  The large building on the left is the Methodist Church – located in the campground just behind the office.
