Not really SAD, but

A lot of people are affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder in Wisconsin.  We have many, many days without sun during the winter months.  This year, we've had a string of days with heavy fog and unseasonably warm temperatures in the 30's and 40's.   Personally, I can't claim that I've ever really felt the effects of SAD, but this year, knowing that we are likely moving west later next year, I've been very impatient and annoyed with Wisconsin weather.   Sun trying to fight through the clouds It hasn't helped that my daily routine involves looking at the weather in Fort Collins and Tucson.  Their weather has been spectacularly sunny and more pleasant this time of year.   So, I haven't been blogging much because not much is going on.

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.

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.
