Give or take a few days, we have just finished up our 2nd week of work camping here at Wild Cherry Resort in Lake Leelanau. If you get a chance before the warm weather ends, you have to get up here and spend a few nights at this great resort. The owners and staff are such amazing warm people, it’s no wonder everyone that visits decides to make this a regular stop. That, and this Grand Traverse Bay/Lake Michigan area is one of the most beautiful areas we have been to. 

 

Here are a few pictures coming into the resort:

 

And here we are…

In the midst of all this…

We will be here until the end of September staying as work campers, and we are totally going to miss this place and the people. We have made many new friends of all walks of life, and can’t wait to come back next summer. Not to mention the resort is in the middle of a working cherry farm, and the cherries are out of this world. 

This, our first work camping adventure, has so far proven to be a great experience. V and I split up working a few hours a week in the office checking people in, taking reservations, and just general chit chat. It’s great if you are a people person, and we are. 

The kids are having a great time, even though there isn’t an arcade or a pool, they are learning how to enjoy the simplicity in the complexity of the nature we are immersed in. What lifelong memories are etched into all of our hearts and minds.
