Neala McCarten explores the history of the Erie Canal, while taking readers on a tour of the current-day canal in and around the enchanting town of Lockport. Dave G. Houser explores a place few readers probably know about, the “Astronomy Trail” inArizona where you can star gaze at several different observatories through some of the largest telescopes in the world.

And wherever your wanderlust…and your Coast membership…take you this year, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey. Member Get a Park and $50 And it’s easy. In fact, a $50 Camping World Gift Certificate has recently been mailed to one of our members who recommended a favorite resort, Tiki RV Park in St. Ignace, Michigan.

When you step off the ferry that’s brought you from the Michigan mainland onto Mackinac Island, you will be in a living Victorian village. Limited to transportation by horse and buggy, bicycle or foot and surrounded by water, Mackinac Island has escaped the vast changes of time. The entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark and more than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park. Tiki RV Park amenities include laundry, firewood, snack bar, pool table and hiking trails. Nearby are a casino, RV service, tourist attractions, shopping, golf and fishing.

Welcome to our Inaugural DIGITAL-ONLY Edition As we announced throughout 2016, this issue of Coast Magazine is the first of our planned digital-only editions. Starting this year the spring, summer, and fall editions of Coast Magazine will be digital-only editions. The Coast Annual Directory, our winter issue, will continue to be a print edition. Each digital-only edition will be available in two formats, as a true digital edition and as a PDF. If you prefer to read from a printed page, you have the option of printing the PDF. Or you can download and save the PDF and read it at your leisure either on a computer or tablet. The true digital edition is a “flipbook” with live links that will allow you to drill down to learn more about places and websites mentioned in each article. We have not changed the content of our magazine issue with the switch to digital editions, as you’ll still find Member Matters, resort profiles, feature travel stories, and RV reviews. As you read this issue we would appreciate any feedback you have. You can send your comments to CCRPresident@CoastResorts.com. By now Coast members have received their printed copy of the 2017 Coast Annual Resort Directory. Believe it or not, we’ll start working on the 2018 directory in just a few short months. We have incorporated member suggestions over the years to improve the usability and readability of the annual directory for all members. So as you use the 2017 Coast Annual Resort Directory, if you have any feedback on ways we can improve this publication, please email CCRPresident@CoastResorts.com. Our spring issue features a pretty diverse and informative selection of articles. Member Matters has exciting news of two new Good Neighbor Parks that we have added since publication of the 2017 directory. Richard Varr takes you on a journey to the many sites in Yosemite National Park,
of on-site entertainment, spacious accommodations, and local attractions for the ultimate getaway. Surrounded by 200 acres of lush grounds dominated by large shade trees, Driftwood features a host of amenities for guests to enjoy: private lake and sandy beach, arcade room, tennis, basketball, and planned activities and themed weekends throughout the season. Nearby are the beaches and boardwalks of Wildwood and Avalon. Fine wines, outstanding restaurants, classic jazz festivals, and special events year-round. Some things just get better with age, and charming Cape May is no exception. This historic Victorian seaside gem is our nation's oldest resort town and one of the most beautiful spots in the country. The entire city is a National Historic District, with nearly 600 preserved Victorian buildings. Amenities at Driftwood RV Resort and Campground include recreational hall, cable, outdoor pool, hot tub, playground, group activities, arcade, tennis, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, grocery store, fitness center, beach, fishing (catch & release), billiards, corn hole, pavilion, laundry and library. Nearby are a casino, tourist attractions, shopping, golf and fishing. Tiki RV Park and Campground This new Good Neighbor Park, nominated by a Coast to Coast member in our Member Get a Park program, can be a destination park for you or used as a base for day trips. Tiki RV Park, in St. Ignace, Michigan, can be described as relaxing, comfortable, family oriented and scenic. But if you want to wander from the beautiful grounds and friendly staff there are many nearby scenic attractions. Within short reach are Mackinac Island via the St. Ignace Ferry, Fort Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City, Mill Creek, The Soo Locks and Tahquamenon Falls. And if you’re feeling lucky or adventurous, there are free shuttles that will pick you up and bring you back from the Kewadin Casino, which is a north woods themed casino with restaurant.
