Wife ha
s been on vacation this week. Always enjoy heading over to Michigan. No vacationers, kids back in school. Perfect timing. Had a great lunch at Church Street Brewing in New Buffalo.
I've always had an unrealistic opinion of MI. I've been vacationing up there since I was around 10 years so I have a lot of memories and since all were generated on vacations they're all good. I could easily retire up in northern MI or the UP but those areas are 180* from any location I would ever get the wife to agree to move to so it'll just have to remain my happy place.
Drink a bells two hearted ale for the local economy. Take the wife to a dispensary and ask for a free sample. (When in Rome)
My favorite area so far is above/around the M-55 highway up to Sleepy bear west side ect. Always used to stop at the Dublin general store (groceries jerky of all kinds electrical tape ammo great selection of bourbon I don’t see normally cigars all the good stuff in one store) kayak the river from there.
Next driving trip is around the whole lake but I want to find a way I don’t have to go into Illinois. I hear there is a ferry from Wisconsin to a island in the middle of the lake and you can camp the night and catch the ferry to Michigan again. Looked like 71 dollars per person and 78 a car. Not giving Illinois a dime priceless.
