Leelanau offers so many unique opportunities for building traditions and sharing adventures with my imaginative grandsons.  No TVs or DVDs needed!  In this case, a "real life" mystery was discovered on South Manitou Island, and included a boat ride, jeep ride, and a trip back in time touring the old farms, school, and cemetary.  What more could a kid want?  I'm grateful to have this to offer my grandchildren, and hope they'll want to offer it to theirs.

In Leelanau we are surrounded by water.  The sand and water is a favorite subject for photographs.  And sunsets.  Sunsets over the lake can be spectacular.  But sometimes if you get up early enough you just might be surprised by the beauty.  There is no water in this photo.  This was taken inland, overlooking Cedar.

Bohemian Road (CO 669) crosses M-22, and heads straight until it hits Lake Michigan. You will know the road ended because there is actually a sign there that says, "Road Ends." Trees line both sides of 669, and Shalda Creek cuts through the road about a quarter of the way down. If you know what to look for, you can see shadows of the past as you drive down this road. All you need to do is look for the footprints left in time. Sometimes, they have blown away, but if you look close, you can see that there are stains that have been left behind, unable to be erased.
