Wilderness 2008




Well, we made it back without any serious injury. Once again a great time in Northern MI. The sun came out, some wind for big waves and Justin didn't eat all the sand on the beach. It was fantastic to sit on the beach without the cell phone ringing and the TV blaring. Rest and relaxation with a few activities mixed in.

If you get a chance to get up to the Mackinaw area be sure to see the lumberjack show. It was kinda corny but pretty cool at the same time. It's basically a one on one competition similar to the series on TV. A couple of younger kids throwing around chainsaws and axes.....how can you not have fun with that. I also played a little golf with my dad as my parents stopped up for the day to visit. The season series is now tied up as I bested him by 2 strokes. It was an extremely windy day which made things interesting!

After golfing I had to zip off the course and hit the lake on the Seadoo's. 2 to 4 footers (with some 3 to 5's mixed in) made for some fun wave jumping in the straits. Once again that took it's toll on the body and prevented Paul and myself from moving on Saturday. I guess we aren't 20 anymore. Overall, we had time and look forward to next year.....same place.....same time!
