I found these boots at a small resale store in northern Wisco for $6 and they have far exceeded my expectations. A lot of people stay away from outdoor sports because gear is so expensive, but I’ve had just as good luck with a beat up tent as a nice one, and these boots are as good, if not better, than the pair from REI.
Meet the old Coast Guard Station at Sleeping Bear Point. The building was moved to sleeping bear point when dunes had started to bury it in sand. Before it was absorbed by the Coast Guard, the group was known as US life saving service, success rate a whopping 99%. The station watches over the Manitou Passage. Between the Manitou islands and the mainland, the Manitou Passage is a shipping channel with shoals and frequent shipwrecks. The building is currently restored to its 1930s appearance.

Funny story (kinda): I was hiking at Esch road beach, along the lakeshore, where Otter Creek flows into Lake Michigan. One of my favorite spots to eat lunch, which was my plan. The wind was blowing pretty hard, and the creek sort of narrowed to about 5 ft wide before it flowed into the lake and I thought to myself “I can make that jump”, never mind that I have never ever made a 5 ft horizontal jump with my little elf legs. Like an idiot, I start walking toward the creek, kinda wondering “hmm, wonder where all the water is flowing if it’s not there”. Out of NOWHERE I start sinking into the sand. That’s right- QUICKSAND. @johnmulaney LIED. Quicksand IS a real hazard of adult life. I sank in up to my knees, the a little further, right next to the lake, three foot waves breaking at eye level, holding my sandwich above my head, wondering what kind of dumbass luck I have that I got stuck in actual quick sand. To get out I sort of wiggled sideways and climbed out onto the solid sand next to me, then spent the next few minutes wet and cold, and eating my sandwich. I spent the walk back to my car thinking about how there’s no way anyone is going to believe I got stuck in quicksand in Michigan.
Another fall road, because I am just not all that original . . . . #lonleyplanet #nakedplanet #womenwhoexplore #michiganoverboard #ourwild #keepitwild #getoutstayout #forceofnature #exploremichigan #midwestmoment #alltrails #puremittigan #puremichigan #mittenlove
