Hi there!

Just checking in to tell you how much fun I am having out here on the TART Leelanau Trail.  You can see me here, pumping some water for my water bottle, at this place I found called the “DeYoung Natural Area on Cedar Lake.”

Did you know that this is the only water stop on the whole Leelanau Trail? It is really cool.  There is an old-fashioned water pump with a built-in drinking fountain, and a special spigot that you lift up to fill your water bottle… or to stick your head under for a cool-down!

There is also a really comfy bench nearby where I stopped to have a little snooze… but when I woke up, my tricycle pal had left without me!  That’s OK, though, because this place looks like a nice one to explore and look for ACORNS. 

Below is another picture is of me, carefully crossing the Leelanau Trail near the water fountain.  You have to watch out because people buzz by really FAST!
