  7. Oh my, such a lovely place to unwind. And your pictures added more conviction for me to add this place in my bucket list. I will definitely urge the hubby to consider visiting Michigan on our next US trip and have a day tour there. I certainly would love to see an actual place without any motorized vehicles around. Sure is a big help to Mother Nature by keeping its environment smog free. I hope you'll post more pics sis. I like the one near the lake with the light house. It's so calm. :)
