People always ask what SAMA means. It started as kind of a joke. It was a sleeting, snowy day in early December. My friend and I were surfing a swell in Grand Haven. I looked over at him knowing we were supposed to both be at pre-Christmas family functions soon, and said "We are like Self Absorbed Michigan Adventurers." That kind of stuck, and like many of our friends we have a common passion for outdoor sports in Michigan, and we go out in any weather to get our sessions. He replied "Ya, SAMA!"

So it was born, the SAMA logo was fashioned by another like minded surfer friend from Grand Haven. SAMA is for all of you year round Michiganders and vacationers who know, love, and respect all the outdoor activities there are to do in Michigan. No matter the weather you will find us us out enjoying all the benefits of our unique freshwater paradise.

Truck Camper Obsession




Hey Samaistas!

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I have been busy getting married, being in Europe for a month, kiteboarding, and fixing the house. However, I have still found some time for my favorite obsession! You guessed it, mentally engaging every little detail and nuance of the perfect truck camper rig. Many of you know that I subscribe to the email newsletter Truck Camper magazine, and this week the feature article was right up my alley. I have been thinking about doing a mission to AK sometime. Ever since I read "Call of the Wild" (my favorite book by the way) it has been a plan to visit Alaska. If you click on the title link you will be able to read all the details and exciting experiences the author had on his AK trip. But, he fully recommends the Dodge Cummins Diesel rig. The reliability and fuel economy are unmatched in his opinion. This dudes rig is the bomb! The search continues.....

I had to add a few more images from ANOTHER dude living the dream! The obvious old school truck camper, gas mileage is great but the rig is a little slow. The other one is a spare no expense rig! Plus, another photo of why someone would become obsessed with Alaska..
