The prevailing weather patterns over the last couple weeks have been very interesting. Intense storms traveling east from Wisconsin across lake Michigan, pounding Glen Arbor and the Glen Lake watershed with multiple inches of rain. We need rain, but not in such big doses!
Another storm will be here shortly, I can see it across the lake. How does that affect paddling the Crystal River? It’s a fantastic day to challenge the Crystal. The River is running about three times higher than normal, so canoes will have no issues with hitting bottom. Same with double kayaks. Bring rain gear and challenge Mother Nature.
The putt putt course is in great shape. I added some blue stone slate on holes 4 and 11 to help out for deflecting around the doglegs. We just got in a case of ping pong balls…..should be good for the summer. But the big news is the construction of our rock shop and craft center. We now have a very organized space for Petoskey Stone polishing classes, bird house construction, leather stamping, beading etc. Come check it out.
Also, I chopped the top off of my construction suburban and will be using that for another vehicle for the kayak, tube and canoe livery in Glen Arbor. The suburban now resembles the old dune mobiles that they used back in the 50′s and sixties! Fun stuff. Safe and legal. (I checked with the State Police and my insurance agent).
Come on down to the River on the Crystal inside the gorgeous Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and make some memories.
