My mom’s family is from right around there, and I have the BEST memories of Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear, Lake Michigan, my uncle’s & grandpa’s farm…the most gorgeous place in the world! My Aunt Dorothy had a little shop where she sold the pottery she made in the basement, and also petosky stone polishing kits with ‘the legend of Sleeping Bear’ in them. Very fond memories—thanks for your post! I loved it up there so much! Too many people now…

I'm happy for the money tourism brings but having family up here it gets a bit frustrating when every place is PACKED when I come up during the busy season. I'm thankful for this time in between winter and spring, the weather isn't bad and I'm almost always the only person one the trails. It's super peaceful and I love the solitude (I'm from the Detroit area so I need a break from people 🤣).
