Fayette, Michigan – Another Era. August 15, 2015. Our visit to Fayette (our second) was late afternoon on August 7. The weather was not cooperating, but we are not ones to let that stand in our way. Our rain gear served us well. However, after viewing our somewhat drab photos, we decided to try to go the ‘historic’ route and convert them to sepia tone. We hope you enjoy them! From left to right: the school, a middle class home, and the town hall. The second floor has a large performance hall, complet...

Tag Archives: Brockwaymountain Drive. Keweenaw Peninsula – Michigan’s Other Thumb. August 10, 2015. Ask most Michiganders where they are from and watch them pull up their trusty maps attached to the ends of their arms. Pardon the pun, but it can be quite handy at times! On Wednesday, we visited Michigan’s left thumb, the Keweenaw Peninsula. Climbing the hill out of Hancock, the Quincy Mine hoist comes into view. Along US 41 to the north of Calumet is the Snomometer. The area averages 20 feet of snow ...

Tag Archives: North Country Trail. We’re still “Falling” for each other after 33 years! August 13, 2015. Thursday, August 6 was our 33rd wedding anniversary. We like to celebrate our anniversaries by going either hiking or kayaking, and this year was no different. We chose to go for a hike on the North Country Trail south of Ontonagon, Michigan. It is interesting to see how a trail like this is constructed. Even still, there were spots that the ferns were covering the planks. Further along, the planks ga...

Pardon the pun, but it can be quite handy at times! On Wednesday, we visited Michigan’s left thumb, the Keweenaw Peninsula. Climbing the hill out of Hancock, the Quincy Mine hoist comes into view. With the peninsula jutting so far out into Lake Superior, lake effect snow is a force to be reckoned with up here. While driving al...

Cruising on Living Life. Family of four cruising America's Great Loop on Living Life, a Catalina 27 sailboat. November 30, 2016. November 30, 2016. As you may have guessed, we have WiFi right now. Hence the flurry of activity! We are at an internet cafe in Apalachicola. I just updated a couple of posts from the boys but thought I’d also give a brief update of what we have been up to lately. As you may have seen in the boys’ last post, we continue to meet great new people, including some children! This ha...

Crossing #1 – Check! – Cruising on Living Life

Cruising on Living Life. Family of four cruising America's Great Loop on Living Life, a Catalina 27 sailboat. Crossing #1 – Check! December 8, 2016. December 10, 2016. After 17 hours, we pulled into Sea Hag Marina here in Steinhatchee at 8 am. It was a very long night. I thought I’d set this up as a good news/bad news story. The good news is that the first 8 hours were really quite nice. Just a gentle swell and light winds. Beautiful sunset. Then the moon and stars shining. Lovely. More good news is that...
