My wife and i spent last week in your beautiful state and loved the scenery, the food, and the friendly attitude. We started meeting up with high school friends at their cottage lake for 3 days outside Kalamazoo, then took Hwy.31 up through Holland, Charlevoix, Petoskey to Traverse City for 2 days, then Mackinac Island for 2 days, then across the Upper Peninsula on Hwy.2 to Escanaba and then down 41 back to Milwaukkee and home to Missouri. The water in Lake Michigan is beautiful, my wife found every Light House there was, and i ate a pastie for the first time(delicious with gravy!) We saw a black bear, bald eagles and spent plenty of tourist dollars. I didnt bring my bassboat this time, but will the next! I'm jealous of you guys, at least from May to November!
