August 27-30, 2007 Petoskey to Charlevoix, MI

The northern part of Michigan is just beautiful, Lake Michigan is clean and clear and the towns are very quaint. The ports are 20-30 miles apart for easy access, in case of bad weather. We found the Michigan marinas of the highest quality, very new and clean.
We rented a car in Petoskey, so we toured around to see some of the summer homes, then spent a day at Harbor Springs, just across the bay. Another beautiful village, with wonderful summer homes, shops, and places to eat. An evening view from the marina...We went on to Charlevoix, met up with some friends, Charley and Bonnie, fellow loopers. We had a nice bike ride and dinner with them. This is the bridge entry to Charleviox, and some of the beautiful "mushroom" houses. Charlevoix and Petoskey are some of the many charming Lake Michigan towns. I feel like a tour guide, we sure are enjoying all the sights along the way.
