Silver Oh Yea It’s Opening Day!

April 1, 2023 started for us at 6:30 am at Silver Lake Sand Dunes Michigan – OPENING Day! Or more accurately the two cabins just off to the “right” of the dunes, the ones that are right by the boat launch. We had the perfect spot. We smooshed, 4 picksup, 3 trailers and a BUNCH of riding “toys” on the two lots that we rented for the weekend. The cabins we and our friends rented were truly right on the water. The view was excellent. The cottages/cabins, I never know which term is correct, were perfect for our needs. Each were three bedrooms with one bathroom. Very large windows on the water side. Honestly, the only improvement I would have liked would have been bigger windows on the road side so I could have watched on the rigs going by heading to the dunes. I would have liked to see what everyone else brought “Up North” to play with.

The cabins were within ¼ mile (I didn’t truly measure) of the entrance to the first parking lot – the one right by Test Hill. It would be hard to get closer. Scott and I along with our son Nick and his friend Colby, plus our dog were in one cottage with plenty of room. Our friends Eugene and Susan, their sons Josh, Matt and nephew Bryce were next door, also with plenty of room. This was truly a great setup for a group. The cottages had maybe 15 steps from door to door. Plenty of outdoor space and gear for barbeques. Basically, bring the food, charcoal and fun. The only possible downside, is the boat continued on page 24
