We went from solitude in the woods to being surrounded by friends and supporting a good cause. I will add that I was skeptical about attending this due to the potential for it being a very Polical event but I will say I only see American flags and one “I support PBS” flag. I’m very surprised

I’ve been disconnected for a couple weeks as I’m freeing up our lives a bit. We found out just how difficult it is to travel with a pet this past year so I jumped in to the RV life. We have taken it to Traverse City area for a week and are now planning a U.P trip but I have some decorations to add 😎

It is a Prairie Bourbon Barrel Weekend. Good eye ! The majority of these are Michigan Beers because here in Michigan we know a thing or two about beer 😉.

When the Trump administration promised Transparency I didn’t realize that it meant it would include the now invisible Epstein Client list.

Trump signs executive order calling for foreign tourists to pay higher national park fees In its 2026 fiscal year budget proposal released in May, the Interior Department estimated that such a surcharge would generate more than $90 million annually.

This is sure to affect tourism.

Is this really the America we want ? I’m Disgusted,Ashamed, Embarrassed and quite frankly Pissed off. I have a new flag ready to go on my pole on the morning of the Fourth. This may be a hard one to raise.

This is so spot on. I am so disgusted right now I think I may have to tune out all news sources again for a bit.

We had a great turnout for our AIS landing blitz. This was also an opportunity for Our local Conservation Officers to do some Public Outreach. Many of the people that showed up were from our surrounding lakes which is nice because they were actually our target 🎯😎.

They have zero empathy for any human. I just don’t understand how the religious groups justify supporting the very thing they preach against. I keep telling myself he is going to have a medical emergency and disappear forever.

I did a search and read about it. I don’t have words to describe how wrong this is and how much it sickens me to think about the environment these human beings will be forced to live in. I’m sure these facilities will inly have AC for the Staff. Very in humane !

I was invited to come hang out with these folks today as they conducted a AIS Landing Blitz here on a small lake in SW Michigan.

I think I will float around on my floaty in the lake and listen to the game like I did as a kid.
