Wouldn't you know,today is near perfect. We went color touring in northern Michigan Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Wednesday was nice for the drive up,the rain didn't start until around three o'clock. There's an overlook called Eagleview that overlooks the Manistee River up on Lund road between Lake City and Fife Lake. The colors were half way decent. Thursday was windy,cold and rainy. We drove up to Petoskey. The waves were breaking over the pier at the lighthouse. We went on up and drove the tunnel of trees between Harbor Springs and Cross Village. I sure wish it'd been a nicer day,but it was a beautiful drive on the bluffs about Lake Michigan despite the weather. The lake sure was rough at a little roadside park between Petoskey and Charlevoix. I wouldn't have wanted to be out there on a boat or a ship of any size. We drove over to Grayling Friday morning,wanted to ride bike from Grayling to Hartwick Pines,but it was snowing. No thanks.
