Lake Michigan
20. september 2022, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Der Lake Michigan ist grösser als die Schweiz: ca 500 km lang und 190 km breit. Er ist fast so gross wie das Kaspische Meer und gehört zu den grössten Süsswasserseen der Erde. Er ist mit dem Lake Huron verbunden und auf gleicher Höhe.

Dem Westufer entlang zieht sich praktisch durchgehend eine Düne. Am ausgeprägtesten sichtbar ist sie im Norden im Bereich des Nationalparkes "sleeping Bear".

Wir haben uns Zeit genommen: Wir sind ab etwas nördlich von Chicago möglichst dem Ufer entlang gefahren. Immer wieder versprechen wir uns und reden vom "Meer". Es wird wacker gesegelt und wir fühlen uns wie an der Ostsee in Deutschland oder Dänemark. Die Einheimischen sagen denn auch: "Alles ist so maritim wie am Meer, wir haben nur keine Haie...".

Ein Ort ist schöner als der andere und die ganze Küste wird natürlich auch touristisch genutzt. Erster Halt gilt Benton Harbor. Erstmals müssen wir feststellen, dass die schönen Hotels (Wochenende!) ausgebucht sind.

Zufällig entdecken wir das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Ludington, das weltweit die zweitgrösste Leistung hat. Wir haben das in der Schweiz ja auch ...und werden in Zukunft vermehrt über solche Systeme sprechen müssen: Die einzige Art, Strom einzulagern!

Wir geniessen nochmals zwei Hotelnächte in Frankfort und freuen uns dann aber auch wieder auf den Ländy: Am Nordkap bei der Halbinsel bei Traverse City dürfen wir uns auf einem Standplatz mit eigenem Seezugang hinstellen: wunderbar!Læs mere

Upper to lower peninsula
14. oktober 2019, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
Heute Morgen sind wir als erstes zur Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore gefahren. Hier gibt es Sandsteinküsten, schön Wälder und Wasserfälle. Wir waren bei den Munising Falls und beim Miner's Castle, einer Felsformation. Das Wetter war auch endlich nicht mehr so grau! 😎🌊
Das war dann auch unser letzter Blick auf den Lake Superior, denn es ging weiter nach Süden, über die Mackinaw Bridge auf die lower peninsula von Michigan. Von der Brücke aus sieht man auf der einen Seite Lake Huron und auf der anderen Lake Michigan. Beide sehen riesig aus 🌊😊
An der Küste des Lake Michigan sind wir durch den Tunnel of Trees gefahren, eines der Highlights im Herbst in Michigan. Allerdings ist der Herbst auf den beiden Halbinseln wohl verschieden schnell und hier sehen die Bäume noch deutlich grüner aus 😄🌳🍃Læs mere

Day 5: Petoskey
4. juli 2022, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
This morning was early. We had a 10k. Of course Gary came in second. And me? Well...I finished! ☺️ From there we went to Avalanche to bike while the parade went through town. It was really tricky getting to the trail because that was where they were getting everything ready for the parade. But we had the whole trail to ourselves!! It was hard climbing those hills after running, but my legs finally got with the program!

We really like Avalanche and we're glad that we got to do it! They were predicting rain all day today. It rained this morning at the start of the run, but it turned out to be a real nice day. 80s, sunny, and HUMID!

Boyne has so much to do on the 4th! They have a "market". That was our next stop. We walked around there for a long time, got a bunch of stuff (foods and seasonings), and got some lunch (hot dogs and smoothies).

Boyne also does a Duck Race. A bunch of rubber duckies launched up the river. They sold tickets and the winners got $500! We couldn't afford the tickets, but it was fun watching the ducks come down!

Then they had a Raft Race. The rules were you had to make your raft and it couldn't be just a kayak or canoe or some other kind of boat. But it has turned into a water gun fight with the boaters too! It was great! This year's winner made their "raft" out of a door!! And just watching, we still got soaked from the cross fire! Next year, bring water cannons!! But honestly, the water felt good!!

That was the last thing until their fireworks, so we came back to get cleaned up. I packed up a bunch of stuff. There is going to be rain tonight for sure. We're hoping to get the fireworks in before it hits!!

Off to dinner. There is a bike path at the end of the campgrounds that leads to Petoskey Brewing. So we headed there, but they were closing because it was 4th of July! Nothing in Petoskey was open because their parade was going at 6 pm. The whole town shuts down for that. Dinner...we ended up getting McDonald's and bringing it back to the campground. That ended up being a great dinner!!

Well, I hope the fireworks get to go!Læs mere

Day 4: Petoskey
3. juli 2022, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
Today was more of a "relaxed" day. We started with 9.63 miles of mountain biking on Tanton Trail. Gary really likes this trail, but I'm having a hard time warming up to it. The sticking point is the black trail. It seems like 5 miles of uphill, and it's not the easy kind of uphill! But Gary likes the fast downhill on the other side. It's too fast for me, so I don't enjoy it as much. The trail alternates direction depending on the day. We were doing this in a new (for us) direction. We got to one intersection and the sign was all kinds of wrong. We had a debate about the correct direction when someone (local) came riding down and settled the debate. Otherwise, the trail was ok.

We went back to clean up. This campsite doesn't have enough showers and there is always a line. We're thinking of going to a different one next year. But then it was off to Pond Hill.

We love this place! The food is great! The beer is great! The farm is so much fun to walk around on! There is a scavenger hunt! So, of course, I had to get the contact information for them. I really would like to do a 5k here next year! Our calendar is so full! And I have a half dozen more to contact about next year!

We were there for about 3 hours. Then we went to downtown. In 2020, there was a mud slide along the bike path. We decided to walk to the mud slide area and see how they fixed it....well, they haven't fixed it yet! It was still blocked off. Gary thinks it's going to be permanently blocked off. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Then it was on to Burnt Marshmallow for dinner. They have such a great place! Again, it is on a farm. But all these farm to table menus are going to spoil me! I've been eating way too much!! But it's so good!!

Then it was time to turn in. Early morning tomorrow! We have a run in the morning! 🏃🏼‍♀️Læs mere

Charming little town with a wonderful beach and blue waters. The marina is right in town and you must cross under the bridge to enter. Lots of shops and restaurants line the street. The town is also known for the mushroom houses which are unique only here.

We also took a long bike ride to the Castle Farms to see gardens and a model train.Læs mere

Petoskey
2. september 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
We traveled 7 hours in bumpy seas to get to Petoskey. The town is known for the Petoskey stones that are fossils of coral. We had some success in finding them. The town itself had a clock tower that chimed every hour between 8 and 10. The walk from the marina to town goes through a tunnel with a piano. People will stop and play a tune.

Next to the marina is a small museum, a breakwater and beach. People jump off the breakwater which we also participated in.

The town has a free trolly taking people from different areas into the downtown area, which is nice.

We happened to be there during a festival.Læs mere

We dinghied over to Harbor Springs which is a small town on a natural spring. The houses use the spring for their water supply and water feature. The town also has a bunch of fountains for the public to enjoy.Læs mere

We've left Detroit and are now on our way to Beijing. It's going to be a long flight, nearly 14 hours, but right now we're very excited and full of energy. I hope that we can maintain that level of energy for the entire plane ride!Læs mere

Camp Pet-O-Sega on Pickerel Lake is a hidden gem! Tyson hung out on nearby Burton Lake with old friends for a bachelor party. I explored the campground. There’s a lot to explore too!
