AA: The only guy I know, other than you now, who prefers salt water is a friend named Jimmy. Black guy, workout warrior, 3% body fat, chiseled, and he doesn't float in fresh water. I'm just presuming you have the same issues.

[AlabamAlum]

I know a ton of people who prefer salt water and semi tropical locales over freshwater, especially in northerm climes. In fact, I would posit that most who have spent ample time at both kind of places prefer the former.

I have a lakehouse and will drive by it getting to the Gulf.

We were there a few weeks ago. Didn't camp at painted rocks, but should have. Took the boat ride, had a nice lunch at the bookstore cafe, and were on our way. My sister-in-law read that there had been 6 sea-kayak fatalities this year so far by June. Looking at it that day from the boat tour, those must have been completely drunken fools. There'd have been no problem kayaking along the shoreline there. Went to the Porkies instead. Nice over there, but not worth the drive. The bugs over there were insane, and not just the biters.

My wife and I did the boat tour too during the 4th of July week. We went to Copper Harbor on the 4th and actually got a cabin without reservations. The lady was pretty surprised that we did that and we were lucky they had a cancelation.

Yeah, I think we did it on the fifth. I was the very handsome guy with the astonishingly hot wife and the two very charming young children. Did you see me?

[edindetroit]

The ones that kept changing seats?

[hack]

Srsly, yes. We did that. By the end of the ride my kids as well as my brothers' were up top front row.

[edindetroit]

Well that explains it.

[hack]

I hope not all of it.

One of my goals has been to rent a pontoon boat for the day up at Pictured Rocks, I think next year is the time. I will have finally have some free weekends to head up there.

[The Oracle]

Im sure I was severely missed, but just getting back from my yearly golf trip in traverse city/Shanty Creek. Love that part of the state.

My brother who was on the trip as well has a cottage on Johnson lake near Gwinn. He was up there for 3 weeks in July and did pictured rocks. Pics looked great. I havent been there since I was very little almost 30 years ago. Would love to get back up there.

It's beautiful, my parents owned land in Charlevoix when I was a teenager. I used to wake up and golf all day from dust till dawn.

[lineygoblue]

That northwest corner of Michigan is some of the most scenic land in the entire country.

[UMStan White]

"I used to wake up and golf all day from dust till dawn."

its DUSK till dawn and that means you played all night.

[WingsFan]

I guess so LOL
