This is one of the reasons we drive as far as we do to come up here. I followed Meggen and Joel Petersen down to Good Harbor Bay in search of the elusive “ice boulders” and even though we couldn’t find any, we were not disappointed because the sky exploded in a palette of orange and red. As I was taking… Read more »

I couldn’t make it to my usual destination, South Fishtown, because of the depth of snow… so I ventured over to South Beach. I walked in the footprints of previous visitors. That’s probably the way I will travel on foot for the rest of the winter, walking in other peoples footprints. The Leelanau County Road Commission gets our applause for the great job… Read more »

This morning I startled the herd above. Below are a few photos of the model trains set up for the holidays by the Northern Michigan Railroad Club: several rooms full… Read more »

Today is actually a good day to stay away from the areas that are being harvested. The Clay Cliffs area being one of them. There are a lot of out of town visitors here because of the weather, hopefully they will be careful.

It’s another crystal-clear blue day, and mild for November. Sunday was perfect to take a leisurely drive the way all the way to the northern tip of the peninsula to the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, with a mandatory stop along the way at Mr. Kilcherman’s Christmas Cove Farm. The collection of bottles is nothing short of phenomenal. And the apples… Read more »
