Swag Spotting – The Little Fleet

It’s been a while since we have posted a swag spotting; we thought this young lady spotted at The Little Fleet was well worth jumping back in.

Frog Catching and Esch Beach: A Photo Montage

Although the people had cleared out during a late evening trip to Esch Beach, we did find we had company: frogs. They are tricky to catch, and faster than they look! But definitely not as elusive as the minnows that also enjoy the shallow waters of Otter Creek as it empties into the big lake. This particular nature outing ended in a special celestial show; a crescent moon setting a little after eleven p.m. over the waters of Lake Michigan. I’d say it’s a pretty good summer evening combo…frog catching, sunset ooh-ing, and moonset aah-ing. Wouldn’t you?

Road Biking in the County

View from the saddle – Bass Lake

I recently got a road bike. I’m pretty much in love and have been trying to cruise around “the County” as much as possible; enjoying the wind on my face, saying hello to the deer as I ride by, and feeling all Tour de France-like (until I get to a hill of course). There’s no shame in granny gear, right?

I was recently introduced to the little road trip below and it is definitely becoming a favorite for good reason. It is a hair under 20 miles and brings you by views (or photo-ops if you’re a shutter addict like me) of Lime Lake, School Lake, and Bass Lake and Lake Michigan (with the addition of a couple quick out-and-backs). For filler, the route provides plenty of gentle rolling hills and beautiful farmland. The roads on this ride, for the most part, are less-traveled with a nice smooth and wide shoulder. That said, the folks at M-22 apparently had seldom traveled the busy, narrow, curving shoulder of cracked asphalt by road bike before coining the phrase “M22 is the feeling you get when you realize there is no other place you would rather be.” Might want to channel your inner Tour de France on that section because trust me there are other places you’d rather be.

Stay tuned for more routes and we would love to hear some of your favorites!
