That sure is a nice spot You have there. Have to say, that East side of the "Thumb", is My favorite part of Our Great State ! Lots of Deer and Great Fishing. Bob

It is a great fit for me to Bob. Nice mix of farms, creeks and woods. It’s really a shame the ash all died. It was prettier when they were alive.
It took me way too long to realize how beautiful of a place I roam. I don’t take it for granted now. I truly appreciate it.

Well, we just got home. Sure did enjoy your state, though we mostly explored the more western side of the thumb, around Petoskey, Gaylord, Grayling, Ludington, and Traverse City. Some of the towns are pretty touristy for my taste (everybody said we were in TC at the absolute worst time), but I liked the hilly landscape around Petoskey and northwest of TC. I get to feeling lonesome if I can't see a mountain range on the horizon. Those maple/oak forests blew me away--we don't have trees like that in Wyoming. Fireflies are amazing. And the Badgerling and I got in some quality fish-watching at Ludington state park. There's a whole lot of biodiversity in your waters, which we really enjoyed.
Too bad we didn't have time for a side trip your way--maybe next time.

I thought about you a lot the past couple weeks. Wondered how your visit worked out.
Yeah you would’ve been in TC during the Cherry festival and Fourth of July too. I’m sure their population triples then.
The sunrise side of the thumb is pretty cool spot too. No mountains though. Unless you count the Verona hills. I’m guessing you wouldn’t.
It’s not touristy at all. I don’t really know why, but that’s fine with me. I like it that way.
Glad you enjoyed your visit WB. Sure would’ve been nice to meet you and the rest of the Bagers.
I’m heading to the beach now to meet my cousin for one last cup of coffee at the beach. He is getting on a plane to California about noon. Going to miss him, but part of my old body is going to be glad to get a little break.lol
Was definitely nice to have him back though

We don’t have mountains, but we’re blessed in many other ways.
I shared a cup of coffee with my cousin at the beach yesterday morning. Then gave him a hug goodbye. Less than a year till I see you again he says. We’ve been doing this for a lot of years and it seems to be getting harder for me every year. I don’t take our time for granted.
I was working in my garden last night when I text him to see if he was home. I sent him a picture or two and told him good night.
