It doesn’t get much better than this. A perfect day on Glen Lake in northern Michigan. Just over the dune in the distance is Lake Michigan, which provided our fresh grilled whitefish for supper.

Michigan Free Fishing Weekend June 12- 13, 2010
As summer in Michigan approaches, Michiganders start to
gravitate toward the 11,037 inland lakes, 36,350 miles of rivers
or streams, or the 3288 miles of Great Lakes shoreline available
for recreation in Michigan [ Included are 12,000 miles
of trout waters]. In fact, there is so much water
available, that wherever you are in Michigan, you are never
more than 6 miles away from a body of water.
If you have fond memories of fishing with your Dad or grand-
parents, then why not create your own memories this weekend?
The Michigan Dept of Natural Resources has declared that you can
fish in any Michigan inland or Great Lakes waters for all species of
fish – without a license – this weekend.
Please note that all fishing regulations still apply.
And don’t forget about safety. You are still required to follow
all watercraft laws. So, get out the poles, grab some bait,
and get fishing!

We all like to take a stroll down memory lane. This video shows Michigan
back before our childhood days. It was filmed in 1949 as part of James A.
Fitzpatrick’s Travel Talks. Take a look at our bathing beauties, the “Bear
Man” and our stunning Michigan scenery.
The areas shown have grown and changed but the appeal of
Michigan is still being promoted to tourists today. And they come by
the thousands to see our unique treasures, such as Sleeping Bear Dunes
on Lake Michigan. This area is now a National Park and dune buggies
are prohibited on the fragile dune landscape.
Mackinaw Island has attracted people since early times, the original
residents here in Michigan; the Ojibwa, the French, the English, and
tourists have been coming here since Victorian times.
Thanks for visiting with us in Michigan along this vintage highway
to the past. We hope you decide to visit us in person real soon.
