Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.      

Indian Lake State Park

We didn’t have an itinerary for this trip, except that we planned to eventually spend some time at Traverse City on the lower peninsula. After Wells State Park, we looked ahead about 90 minutes and found Indian Lake State Park. It seemed like an interesting spot on the map,  We were not disappointed. 


Just on the other side of that rail fence were stairs leading direct down to the lake.


There wasn’t any beach to hang out, but we managed to find a comfortable spot to relax.


On the next morning, we drove into Manistique and walked the trail along Lake Michigan. There was  a long pier that went out to the lighthouse. We like lighthouses.


Sometimes, it’s the places that you’ve never heard about that turn into places to return again and again.
