Andy and Bob have been camping the last few days. This is an annual tradition. They go to the Manistee National Forrest, near White Cloud. They totally rough it - no electricity, no running water... I wouldn't survive this! Here is a picture of their camp site. They seem to be rained on every year, but always have a good time. I'm sure they both have great memories of this time together!
They do a lot of walking up there. here is a picture of one of the trails they walk down.
This is lake is known as Loon lake. On a map it is named Amung Lake. This is about a mile from camp. They have seen deer, racoons, bald eagle, hawks and a loon here.
These wild irises were growing on the edge of the water. I thought this was a really pretty picture.
Beautiful scenery. But definitely not worth the roughing it part to me! Give me a bathroom, showers, running water and electricy and I'll come too!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laura- I would never last. I do think it is a great tradition for the men and their sons though!
ReplyDeleteWow...It reminds me of a place we used to camp in Arkansas called Cove Lake. We have horses and goats and chickens now so we can't get away but I miss it especially when I see beautiful pictures like these!
