(Report by Jim) Today’s photos older than most of the early 1900s shots we’ve shown here. These are part of a collection that Marv Anderson let me scan many years ago.

Today’s photos are from a hike around Sleeping Bear Point in the national lakeshore. This weekend held amazing, warm weather (albeit a bit breezy), and lots of people enjoyed the great outdoors in Leelanau County.

Yesterday Meggen helped her dad move his boat around from Leland to Elk Rapids for winter storage. It was a beautiful day for leaf-peeping, including from the water!

(Report by Jim) The weather has rarely disappointed this year, today being no exception! 30+ knot winds out around the islands in the afternoon and 20+ onshore from the Southwest gave us and opportunity to view the waves crashing from a different angle. We got a little wet on the big wall, but the waves were not breaching it. The… Read more »

(Report by Jim) Beautiful morning clouds on Lake Leelanau against the haze coming from the western forest fires. My sister Mary is coming to Leland from Oregon, which has been suffering from the fires along with California and Washington State. In the afternoon I finally got to paddle Victoria Creek (Cedar River) from Cedar to lower Lake Leelanau. Quite a… Read more »
