Tommy Tales: July
As most of you know, I am fond of getting other people to paint the fence around here. One of the people I’ve been trying to recruit for a long time now is young Tommy. He gets out and about even more than I do, and on the evidence, has even more fun. Looky here: […]
Freedom’s just another word for fishing
March 15, 2010
As Ratty said to Mole, there is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. And Babs . . . well, Babs lets her photos do the talking. Every week photographer Babs Young captures moments in northern Michigan, and every week she sends one to Torch Lake Views just for you. […]
Last ice on Torch Lake
March 15, 2010
Early in the week the ice on Torch Lake shattered into tinkling shards over at the Day Park. Babs Young and Chris Szejbach were there, capturing a swirl of jade here . . . . . . glints of blood rubies, crystals, amethysts, tumbling in the sunlight, then vanishing. At Eastport, Katherine writes, The ice wasn’t gone from the north […]

February 21, 2010
Babs writes: It was a beautiful day here so the fisherpeople were out without cover. I think the dude in the middle is about to reel in a big one. He was one of the lucky few. Ice-fishing diehards tromped into the market all weekend, buying carryout fried chicken and prime rib because they had no […]
Five treatment wells and a red truck
February 11, 2010
Nearly four decades ago underground storage tanks at the Standard Service Station in Torch Lake Village began to leak. The gasoline contaminated the soil, the groundwater, and some nearby drinking water wells. Eventually it contaminated a community well at Bay Harbor Club. The service station is long gone. The gasoline remains. Part I of this […]
