    I’m back home in Illinois, but it was an eventful week. Reunited with old friends at Riverside Inn at the beginning of the trip and then at a memorial for Nick Sica on our way back. My sister “The Mar” came in from Oregon and reunited with an old friend and Leland Report follower Amy Evans Rullo at… Read more »

My daughter was back out this month along with my son, it’s been a long time since I had both here at the same time. Life moves fast and it’s nice to slow down and swim in a windless lake or tow a tube with a kayak once in a while. Actually, they aren’t “kids” anymore, but I still think… Read more »

Yesterday was a trip with my daughter Meredith out on our friend’s Ranger 20. A day to slow down, smell the flowers, pose, and be an ad for Bells. 😀 Again, thanks for continuing to join me on this journey!

The 2022 Leland Report Calendar is the 16th consecutive calendar we have put out. For the last 16 years, I have assembled 12 of our best photos from a huge number to choose from. This isn’t as easy as uploading 12 photos and having a printer print out X number of calendars. I manually edited every page, placed all the… Read more »

The cloud theme continues today in the form of a line of storms that dropped hail the size of softballs on Appleton, Wisconsin. Fortunately, we didn’t get any hail, but much of Wisconsin and Michigan did. Stay safe! -Jim Burnham

As I headed back down to Illinois, I took a chance on some two-track trails I passed by on past trips up M22 near Esch Rd Beach. Leland Report Jeep  #2 meandered slowly through the old pine plantations and eventually past Deer and Bass lakes. I’m definitely going back in the Summer and Fall in Jeep #1.    The sky… Read more »

Vol XX – #082 Never Get Tired of Floating

Jim Burnham    June 20, 2020    4 Comments on Vol XX – #082 Never Get Tired of Floating

(Report by Jim) As the weather was especially beautiful this week, we are continuing with the floating theme. Yesterday was a sunset float on a 70s Cape Dory sailboat in Suttons Bay. Most of today was installing a new radio in my boat. Fortunately, the weather was gray. What a great week of weather! We also found out that because… Read more »
