Tim Allen's right about all the "pure waters" and "endless coastline." We once again took the trip north for our summer reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
We celebrated Erica's 29th, spent three days in Ludington along Lake Michigan and then an additional five days in Alden, located on the southeast coast of Torch Lake.
This Torch Lake place was something else. The water is Caribbean-blue and the entire south end is a sand bar, ranging anywhere from two to four feet deep. On a kayak trip, we walked out a quarter of a mile in water up to our waists. Nutso. Apparently locals and tourists, alike, have found it a convenient location to set up shop and party hard on popular summer weekends. The water was just unbelievably clear. On that same kayak trip, it was hard to tell whether you were in 10' or 40' of water... the only difference was the color. The place we stayed was a nice little B&B two blocks from the water.
There wasn't a lack of heat & humidity, unfortunately, but it was nice to have a beautiful lake to step into and cool off in after a run. So that was about it. A relaxing getaway that was tough to come home from.

Looks great. I have wanted to go to Lake Michigan for a long time. Perhaps next year we'll actually make it!
