80% Peak

I just arrived at our log cabin and am amazed at the changes in the trees. Gaylord is at 80% peak right now. This photo was shot off our deck, if you look closer - you can see the lake peeking between the trees. Tomorrow I should be able to get a good series of photos in the area. I just love this time of year!

Up North

My friends and family all know about my obsession with "Up North" (a.k.a. northern Michigan.) Every since I was a little girl, I could not wait to go Up North. I have memories of cozy cabins, bonfires, dipping toes into a cold lake and struggling to climb Sleeping Bear Dunes with my sister riding piggyback . When I reached my twenties, I became the ambassador for Up North. I dragged my friends to ski trips at Boyne Mountain, camping in 30 degree weather over Memorial weekend and riding bikes on Mackinac Island. And now everything is coming full circle as my husband and I are building a log cabin Up North. Northern Michigan has so much to offer to the outdoor enthusiast. Whether you're a hiker, skier, kayaker, or even just a family person - I want to show you all the great things to experience Up North.
