I am back in the workshop after a week long vacation camping at Petoskey State Park on Little Travers Bay- about 45 minutes south of the bridge in upper-lower Michigan. My family has been vacationing there since the 1980's so it feels like a second home and no need for road maps! We had great weather and only minor experiences with skunks- thank you skunks for just passing through! It was good to take a break from work and have a chance to pick up a book, relax by the camp fire, and swim in Lake Michigan- clear and clean and warm enough. And a perfect break before diving into the busiest season of the year for chair repair- fall and holiday. Yes, I am taking orders already!

Our beach was 2 miles along Little Travers Bay with sugary sand, dunes, blue skies, and pine trees.
