WELL DONE!!! brilliant walking and wonderful views, a fabulous day to do it in too.
Very nice to see the snow retreating and the lake unfrozen 🙂

Thank you. We had a fine window of opportunity and we took advantage of it. Today is such a surly day that I would not be surprised to see the glacier creeping back on little icy feet. Spring can be like that.

I’m glad you asked. You can read all about it on Township Fossils. There are numerous other posts around here about the Petoskey Stone Festival (coming up in May) and beachwalking and other northern Michigan delights, but the fossil one is your best bet.
Thank you.
Yes, but Chris and Sonny will not re-open until Friday, which is rather a lot later.
