Park you car. There are free buses (LL Bean is a big sponsor) which take you to almost everything - the exception is up Cadillac Mountain.

The schools are closed due to snow storm today in the northern UP. The weather will be an adventure even at the end of the month, but if you need adventure just check ahead as most sites are still normally closed then. But that could change as the lows are in single digits again the past week, it has to get warmer. The campgrounds will be opening throughout May usually along with parks. Fla. sounds good today

Say "EH" to the UP.

Took motorcycle up Cadillac mountain last July. Was very nice.

You don't want to be in the UP in April that's for sure. We have a home a mile from the UP/WI state line and the ice isn't out on our lake yet! We won't have leaves on the trees for at least 3 weeks yet. UP is great from June - Sept.

You certainly have options. We vacationed in Kentucky a few years ago and enjoyed the bourbon tours, Lexington, and Nashville, TN. If you head up to Harper's Ferry you can also go to Virginia - Charlottesville, Richmond, Fredericksburg, D.C. West Virginia is fun for camping at the state parks and white water rafting, but April might be a little too early to go rafting.

Good point. We are Floridians and forget to account for cold. Will see what the projected temps are. It's too hot here already. The heat/humidity gives me massive headaches. We are moving from FL to the PNW.

Thanks. As basically life-long Floridians, we tend to forget that it might be cold somewhere else- especially in April!

We visited Acadia and Fundy National Park (Canada) last Summer and had a great time. It's what motivated us to buy the rv.

Harpers Ferry is our second choice at this point. We want to see what the weather is up to in the UP for the dates we'll be there and then we'll decide.

Have you considered the Outer Banks.NC....wild horses on the beach,Wright Bros Museum,etc? Pigeon Forge ,TN also very nice...

A little farther than you may want to go but Moab UT would be a great choice. We were there last week. Lots of outstanding scenery & so many things to do. Weather was great & should still be good the end of Apríl

We have decided on visiting Austin, TX!

My wife and I went to Austin about two weeks ago. Not camping but the first time we had been there. I would recommend going to anyone. So much fun.

It is our first time there as well. What did you do there that you liked?

[wyo700]

Well we went on a paid trip through my wife's work. So we were able to stay in a motel on 2nd street which is in the middle of down town. We went to lake Travis and went zip lining which was amazing. We went on another tour called the duck tour which included driving a amphibious bus into lake Austin. Was a cool tour that also went around some of downtown but if I were to do it again I would take the tour that is more of a tour of Austin. And then for the most part just walked all over and tried to see as much as we could on foot. If you're into to any kind of night life (not sure of your age or if that is not your thing ) you have to go to sixth street lots of bars and music. Seems kinda scary during the day but is different at night because a lot of law enforcement is out and there is a lot of people. But you will have fun no matter what you do.

CT to Purina Farms, Missouri. Fun going through states not visited before and heading back a completely different way we went out.

Each Sunday during the winter, we'd have movie afternoon in our camper while it was at the RV storage place. Although we never went anywhere, it was more fun then staying at home and allowd us to fire up the generator to top off the batteries.
