the second or third dune, I noticed
this orange lily. |
June 19-22, 2009: Jeanie,
Kathy and I got together for our annual camping
trip. Although we have taken part in the Mackinaw
City bike tour most years, we decided, for the
second year in a row, to just try a campground
that was new to us. This year it was Timber Ridge
Campground in Traverse City, MI. |

|

Confronted with yet
another dune, we were ready to
turn back, but another dune climber told us that the
water
was visible (barely) from a grassy knoll slightly off
the beaten path |

We offered to take
photos of these three with their
cameras and I got one with mine as well. |

They, in turn, took
our photos |
 |

A panoramic view. |

Our next series of
stops were on scenic Pierce Stocking
Drive which has several of overlooks. We spotted this
deer spotting us shortly after entering the Drive. |

Kathy posed for a
photo at this covered bridge. She had
to dodge a few vehicles before we noticed her signaling
us to take the shot. |

The next four shots
are of Glen Lake from different angles. |
A zoom shot shows the
repairs underway on W.
Glenmere Road which bisects Glen Lake |

Kathy spotted this
bird with deep blue plumage.
I'm waiting for her to tell me the name. |

They aren't kidding!
It's a long way down ...
and an even longer way up. |

Jeanie, at the right,
is heading out to get a better look. |

Glen lake again. |
