The high ground
Over here in the western reaches of Antrim County, long ridges run north and south, parallel to Torch Lake and the Bay. Between the ridges rivers flow through narrow valleys, connecting 14 lakes into a 55-mile long chain that finally reaches Grand Traverse Bay at Elk Rapids. Centennial farms command the high ground, watching the […]

Glory time is upon us
July 25, 2010
These are perfectly ripe apricots over at King’s. I am fond of apricots, and I have been eating more than my share in the last couple of days. That’s OK, though, as there are still plenty for you.

Drive out the Flat Road past the stone silo, where traces of the Old Pioneer Road climb the ridge, past the ancient Indian settlement with its burial grounds and food pits and gardens, past the Old Antrim City Cemetery where men who came back from the Civil War lie next to children who died in […]

Charlevoix Light at dusk
July 19, 2010
Babs Young was out and about north of here last Tuesday. She writes: The Charlevoix Light was looking very handsome and there were several admirers of it and the very nice sunset as well. Notice the sliver of the moon in the western sky that evening. I think the lighthouse looks just like a Rocket […]
