It looks like you can walk out to the islands, but I don’t think it is all solid ice. Empire Beach showed quite a bit of open… Read more »

Vol XVII – #236 – Thanksgiving Day

    Report by Jim I am thankful we have great spaces like the Clay Cliffs Natural Area (LeelanauConservancy.org) to wander around in, even if we can’t peer over the edge of the precipice.

Vol XVI – #236 – Snowin and Blowin

We have a 14K Generac that kicks in after 10 seconds of outage, one of our best investments.  Don’t build a home up here without one. Van’s… Read more »

Vol XVI # 021 – A Land of Delight Kinda Day

After a couple of warm wake-ups, this am’s chilly air wasn’t the best, but that’s one of the problems with this time of year, you get a couple of Summer days and then it’s back to Spring. The wispy white clouds and the color of Big Blue highlighted this days beauty.
