Even the eagles wanted to know when the ice would go off Torch Lake
Chris and Sonny Szejbach were taking turns checking out the ice on Torch Lake. The Day Park is just down the road from the Market, so they can do that, but only one at a time. Chris saw one eagle. Sonny saw two. But Chris had the camera. For those of you who don’t know, […]

April 14, 2009
Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I were multi-tasking over in Central Lake. While the laundry was sloshing around at the Wash Tub we had a little constitutional and took some snapshots of the former Lamplight Inn. What a mess.

Easter basket

It’s a whimsical Up North Easter basket if I’ve ever seen one. A Lake Superior beach rock (I think it’s a mimetolith – see NW lower Michigan?). A shell fragment painted with […]

Come out and play
April 11, 2009
There are lots of places to play in Torch Lake Township and a great many of them are listed over there in the right column under “Parks and Trails.” But maybe your idea of playtime is something different? Or maybe you have noticed something we could do better at one of our parks? Have I […]
