Empire photos cont'd... clouds were nice on the way up but very smokey and hazy on the way down. I find the west shore of Michigan usually clear, just need to get thru Ohio.

the Big Agnes chair is really good. bigger, stronger, and more compact when stored. it's a winner, happy with the purchase and I will use it a lot. bungies tie all the rods together, like tent poles, so it is quick to assemble. I like good mechanical designs.

planning for Petoskey (Harbor Springs airport) in mid-August when the camping sites are more plentiful. I like to pick good weather days, a day or two in advance. ride from Petoskey to Charlevoix.

Steve,
Thanks for the report and pictures. I may have to give that area a try. Have you ever been to Beaver Island? I watched a youtube video about it last night and it looks interesting too.. More trail or dirt road ridding but lots of history on the island.
Im stuck working most of the time for a couple months in Calif but hope to get up there this fall.

could be good. take a life vest, one of those wearable inflatable kinds. if you go down, that water is cold, at least they could find your body. the heart stops beating when the core reaches 77F.
I am planning for Petosky mid to late August when the campgrounds unload.
Also, Marquette is on my scope. 17-mile ride into town from Sawyer.

We flew up to Charlevoix a few weeks ago for breakfast and it is a nice area. The landing was great but the wind picked up when we left and it was more than I expected or a gust got us as we lifted off. It was a little squirrelly and got my attention. I flew over Mackinac Island in the winter and it looked really cold. Ice about 1/h was across when I went.
Another cool spot is Boyne Mt Resort. KBFA. It is right across the street from the resort. There is a cool suspension bridge activity and lots of biking. If you dont feel like camping there are places to stay and some limited food. It is a fun place to go.

Oh, I like Boyne City. the code for the FBO door is 5321. I jogged into town and all around. I want to go back. maybe I will stop by after Petosky. Michigan is truly a destination... in my opinion. firstly, I'll make a run up the Champlain Valley NY, equally beautiful.
Best rated Life vest according to some. I have something similar for over the Lakes, so they can find my body. this one is auto, or manual activated.

I havent been to Boyne City. I will have to give that a try.
As for the vest - it looks good but I have read you do not want an auto inflate. If you flip over and it inflates, it would be difficult to get out of the plane. any thoughts on that? I can see both ways.

NO Auto Inflate in the aircraft. switch it to OFF. you do not want the vest to activate in the plane.
