Life, Liberty, Beaches, and Pie--Northwest Lower Michigan


Life, liberty, beaches, and pie--Northwest Lower Michigan is heaven on earth. This pohto of sleeping bear dunes highlights the majesty of the area. The orchards in the area produce the finest fruit ever to fill a pie.

The Mongeaus have been in Quebec, and working their way around the mighty lakes, since the early 17th century. I've stood on the Sleeping Bear Dunes and looked out onto the Big Lake. The wind carried the songs of the ancient travellers, those brave, strong souls who paddled their way into the unknown. I heard songs of courage, and songs of fear, and songs of wonder at the sights beholden. Timeless ground is difficult to find. The spirit of the old people is there. Go and listen for their songs before it is too late for you to hear them. Posted by Hello
