Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

Beautiful picture as always. Simon and I have been snowshoeing on the Pigeon River and in the spring over that way we have found tons of morel mushrooms. Thanks for sharing.
Pam
I like this Quote and the photo is so beautiful and peaceful.
Patsy
Great quote! Does that photo show a little LESS snow? Will you get more before the season ends?
What a great quote! That's one to frame and put on the wall. And a lovely little river,...nice photo!
Wonderful picture and I love the quote. just perfect.
Winter Wonderland photo & nice quote too! Are there any signs of spring up your way? Or is it still all snow?
Wow, just LOOK at the insensity of that blue!! Great quote, too!
Like the quote: we're all in trouble when the river runs out, so why bother even crossing.
Peaceful photo and perfect quote.
Peaceful photo and perfect quote.
lol love the quote..haven't seen the use of the word rustic in that way for a while...beautiful picture..looks like you might be in a melt down out there??
Shellie, I'm telling you.I am SO JEALOUS!!!!!! ;) Karen
A beautiful picture. Thank you for your visit and kind comments, I love meeting new people. Stop by often, you're always welcome.
Hugs,
Chris
You were about 5 miles from me...I love that trail...did you make it into the ceder forest? there are a bunch of lil streams back there, and the trail is a 10 mile loop, and you end up at your car. My most favorite hike. Hope you had fun! by chance did you see the lil rapid/drop/falls when you where you there? So much fun on a canoe! Great picture, wonderful quote, and like tina-love the way rustic was used! Have a great weekend!:)
Pam - I can only imagine how beautiful the snowshoeing is there! How's the weather this weekend?
Bennie & Patsy - thank you!
Darla - It's suppose to snow several inches tomorrow.... :(
Cedar - That is a great idea! By the way - did you see Rob at Cottage Chronicle's post on you? It was very nice!
Busy Bee - Glad you liked the quote - I like the older quotes!
Tricia - more snow coming....help!
Deborah - thank you! It is so beautiful to look at this river...
Robert - you are right & practical!
Mildred - thanks!
Tina - that was the 1st time I've heard rustic used! More snow coming...
karen - LOL! :)
Chris - thank you and I'll be back!
Nature Lovin - we went there in search of elk to photograph - but no luck. Do you think I could kayak it?
Hi Shelley, As much as I want Spring to come, I also still love winter. That winter picture of the Pigeon River is gorgeous...
Did you make it to the cabin????
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
Pigeon River looks so peaceful, well at least for now. I can imagine it can be rough when the runoffs start up.
I wonder if it would be nice for fly fishing...
hug♥
You can most definatly kayak it...it is easier to do in the early summer when the water levels are up. The river is windy, and there are some beaver damns on it...but if you are really intrested I could email you a map of the river with the best portage spots...I have friends that kayak it every year! just let me know! O an the elk have been hanging out deeper in the forest latly...You might see some on the green timbers trail. It is an easy hike in and goes to the "lower" cabin on the sturgoen river. That is where I have been seeing all the elk tracks. good luck on your elk adventures.
