Michigan

We’ve visited Michigan twice together in recent years. Once on our way east to New England and a second time on our way west from Canada.

On the eastbound trip, we stopped and visited friends in Kalamazoo.

On the western trail, we stayed in northern Michigan and visited its “U.P.” (Upper Peninsula).

Yellow dots indicate places we’ve visited

Morning walk. East Vail, Colorado. Too dry for July but some wildflowers are giving it a go. Hope the forecast storms bring lots of rain and not much lightning. Eagle’s Nest Wilderness Gore Creek Trail. Happy 250th Birthday America. 🇺🇸 And that’s a wrap Alaska. Love your gorgeous state and hospitality in the last frontier. (Float plane is Vancouver but it seemed a fitting end). Our bear search in Icy Strait Point may have been a bust but our glacier hunt in Wrangell was certainly not. That blue one with the eagle is legit. No editing. Bald eagles 🦅, harbor seals 🦭, sea otters 🦦, whales 🐳 and more off the coast of Sitka Alaska. Hubbard Glacier: 1200 feet high (400 above water) and 6 miles wide at the “snout”. The ice in front is 400 years old, traveling from the Bagley ice field. Last stop before hitting the seas: Talkeetna Alaska, the town upon which the 1990s show Northern Exposure’s Cicely was based and where you check in to attempt a summit of Denali. Denali National Park tundra tour. We saw some Dall sheep, a grizzly bear (not pictured), a mama and baby moose and a bunch of caribou.
