  It’s amazing how many cars and pick-up trucks drive in heavy fog without headlights on.      Â

Vol XVIII – #125 – Along the Way to Sutton’s Bay
A perfect Sunflower Day.
Vol XVIII – #124 – Meggen’s Monday
How’s the fishing? That’s what a lot of people ask Joel Petersen, captain of Fishtown Preservation’s Joy. This time of year, when the water is warm, it’s a little slower (this is normal). It’ll pick back up in the fall. Photos by Meggen last week, while on vacation.Â
Vol XVIII – #123 – The Day After Barbecruise 2018
Another Barbecruise is in the history books. Fishtown and as a matter of fact Leland, are not as busy this first Sunday in August. Bartholomew Park was almost cleaned up this morning.

(Report by Jim) Another one of those days that the clouds rule the sky. Thanks to Roxane for helping plant and tend to the flowers on the bridge. Sometimes it’s good to get a different perspective.
Vol XVIII – #119 – A Perfect Fishtown Day
Today is one of those days that the clouds rule the sky. (Jim) I took a break today and drove over to Fudgie Beach to catch a Cumulus forming over Lake Leelanau. I heard this storm produced heavy rains and lightning in Traverse City. This is all we got, shame. 😉Â
