Howdy Everyone!
I've really been enjoying my walk along the "thumb" of Michigan.
The weather has been spectacular -- still around 75 or so each day -- and
the people are so nice.
Because of all the contacts that Pat at Harbor Beach has made for
me, I've been staying in some really neat places. In Grindstone I was aboe
to stay in a cabin at "Captain Morgan's Grindstone Bar & Grill"
for free, and in Port Austin I was able to stay at "Lake Vista Resort"
for free, plus have several meals provided. Here in Caseville, the
local Chamber of Commerce contacted Lou at The Lodge At Oak Pointe, and they
said yes, and the Bay Window said they'd provide a free dinner and movie.
I had a great walk on saturday from Port Austin to Caseville. At
one point I was able to walk on the beach of Lake Huron for a couple of miles.
I arrived here in Caseville on saturday afternoon, and Mike & Lou let
me stay over on sunday. Their beautiful B&B is a log-cabin lodge that
sits back off the road behind a pond. It is peaceful and serene and
beautifully decorated. Each room has a large jacuzzi bathtub, fireplace, a
private outside screened in porch that overlooks the pond, and a canopy bed.
They have 2 large TV's in the front room and library, but not in the
individual rooms. Nor do they have phones in the rooms. It is a
perfect place for a refreshing getaway from the hectic hustle and bustle of
life. There are many trails in the wooded area surrounding the lodge and
you can explore at your leisure. It's a great place to be, and I feel
extremely lucky to get to stay here. Check them out at

On monday I'll be walking around 19 miles to Sebewaing ("seebwing"),
where I'll be staying at a funeral home. Yeah right, I can see the
headlines now: BROWN LAID TO REST AT FUNERAL HOME. Actually last
week when I attended the Rotary meeting, they made several contacts down the
road for me, and this Rotarian just happens to be a funeral director! And
y'know, I hope to live to tell the story! (I hope...gulp.) So think
of me tomorrow, as you hum the tune of The Ad-dams Fam-i-ly (snap snap.)
Take care and happy monday! KB
