July 3, 2022 Brooklyn, MI We start our exploration of this park 10 minutes down the road at the farmer’s market. While it used to be held on the park grounds, it has since been moved (I’m blaming COVID but unsure if that’s valid). The booths are scarce. A true mix of vegetables, homemade soaps,Continue reading “Cambridge Junction Historic State Park”

Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park
May 11, 2022 Mackinaw City, MI In the parking lot, we sit Gob down to go over the rules for this park. The website says that “well-behaved” dogs are allowed. So he needs to remain calm while we purchase our tickets. Our plan is to just walk the nature trails, so he doesn’t need toContinue reading “Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park”
Mackinac Island and Fort Mackinac Historic Park
May 9, 2022 Mackinac Island, MI It’s 8 o’clock on the nose. We roll up to Pancake Chef because there is no other way to start the day. The closed sign still hangs in the window. Mason starts to panic, but at 8:01 they open the door. He is the first one inside to orderContinue reading “Mackinac Island and Fort Mackinac Historic Park”
Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park
May 8, 2022 Mackinaw City, MI The fort is surrounded by a large fence. Too tall for us to scale. And Gob is a lack luster digger. Can’t go over it, can’t go under it, so I guess we’ll go through it. We pay the admissions fee. As we request entry, Mason and I areContinue reading “Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park”
Fort Wilkins State Park
October 2, 2021 Copper Harbor, MI There’s something quite lovely about the sun-bleached white old buildings that make up these historic parks. Maybe it’s the contrast against the bright green grass. Gob and I take a quick walk around “town,” but since he refuses to wear a shirt or shoes he is not allowed insideContinue reading “Fort Wilkins State Park”
Fayette Historical State Park
7/2/2021 Garden, MI I’m going to be honest, I had very low expectations for this park. I’m not typically drawn to old buildings or monuments. And Gob also prefers the rugged nature to the paved path. We arrived fully expecting a quick pit stop to check something off the list. But boy were we bothContinue reading “Fayette Historical State Park”
Sanilac Petroglyphs
6-6-2021 Cass City, MI Some days I am my own worst enemy. Saturday night I informed Mason that we would be having an early morning. My itinerary was roughly scheduled to the half-hour. But alas, I am no morning bird, so at roughly 10am, a full 2 hours behind schedule, I finally rolled out ofContinue reading “Sanilac Petroglyphs”
Meridian-Baseline State Park
3/6/2021 Pleasant Lake, MI Gob has a bad case of the zoomies. He’s had them for the past few days. So finally with a day off from work, I must fulfill my promise and take him on an adventure. Mason asks to tag along. He must also have some zoomies to get out. Our firstContinue reading “Meridian-Baseline State Park”
