Patterns out on the north end of the lake are always interesting when the wind is left to paint a canvas. Took a ski run around Mud Lake up in Leelanau State Park. I always take in the view from the dunes when I go up there hiking or skiing. Happy 62nd Anniversary to Keith and Joanne Burnham! … Read more »

The surf on the West side was nill, but on the East side it was predictably rough, these being taken just north of Northport. The ice below was at Leelanau State Park. Appropriately, we went and saw Aquaman tonight at the IMAX in Traverse… Read more »
