Fresh cheese curds squeak when you chew them, love them.

I think this illustrates the dilemma that Loopers have when coming thru the Great Lakes, and we have talked to many of them over the years. You want to maximize your time in Georgian Bay and the North Channel and rightly so, but that always puts you at Mackinac just before Labor Day. Lake Michigan starts to turn to Fall weather real quick after Labor Day. We've been stuck in Leland for multiple days when going there after Labor Day. So Loopers end up blitzing thru Lake Michigan, unfortunately out of necessity, to get to Chicago. They end up missing the many cool towns and ports in Little Traverse Bay, Grand Traverse Bay and down the west coast of Michigan. One could spend a whole summer cruising Lake Michigan, that's why we keep our boat there.

I remember climbing those as a kid in the 90s, what a cool experience. Enjoy and stay safe!

Enjoyed the segment on Ludington. So happy to see that the SS Badger is still running. Sixty five years ago my wife and I spent our wedding night on the Badger. It was a somewhat stormy night but the marriage has survived! So enjoy watching you travels!

I just love the "umm counter"!!!!!! 🙂

Pure Michigan. =) Home. Nice to see someone else experiencing and enjoying it from a perspective I've never been able to. I've seen most of the state from land at one time or another, but the one time I've been on Lake Michigan we'd barely left the shore before I was nearly unconcious on the floor of the cabin seasick. The only time I can remember ever being motion sick on the water. =/

Our freshwater backyard is certainly one of a kind! Thank you so much for visiting what we consider a slice of heaven. BTW that lake can get wicked ugly at times. Never underestimate her. Kind of like....when she is good she is really really good but when she is bad she is horrid. There is a reason it is considered graveyard of the wrecks. (You should have checked out the Fransisco Morazon on the south end of South Manitou. She is still partially above water. Interesting shipwreck with an interesting story)

Just found you. I have a daughter that has 10 acres near Mackinac. I love going up there.

That sunrise and sunset were both 🔥! Jenn, your ice cream flavor sounded SO GOOD! Ummm! Can't wait to indulge in some ice cream together soon!

My Home!

💙💙💙💙💙

So happy you enjoyed Michigan. Have lived here all my life and think there’s no place better in the US! We boat out of Muskegon and Lake Michigan is our favorite of the Great Lakes. Loving your videos!

we discovered the whitefish dip somewhere around Mackinac Is. Everywhere after that I searched for it- Yum

We live here so know the Lake but you hit some calm conditions... Weather is good through September.

been following you for almost 2 years now, love your positive views, I am on the loop in 2 years thanks, love ollie

That sunrise🔥! The sunset was also so pretty! Lake Michigan and the surrounding towns and dunes are gorgeous! Can’t forget to mention that yummy ice cream Jenn had 😋! Thank you for showing us the beauty of Lake Michigan!

“The white fish was very white fish”. 😂

We were really taken by how you have let your AGLCA burgee reflect your journey. You are also correct in that Michigan is a journey onto itself. It is a beautiful (our former home) state. My take on your comments over the last few videos is an RV in your future to explore more. Just saying...we did the same , boat, loop, motorhome, boat again. We SO enjoy your videos!!

I’m so glad you are enjoying my home state of Michigan! 😃👏
