Michigan Vacation - August 8 2023

 

 Parker was asleep face-down and I took a picture of her pads.

 Wider view. Taken at Motel Bear Lake.

 Now Bear Lake. This shot is at the public access area nearest the Dayton Club.

 Our room at Motel Bear Lake. Recently re-opened, the motel has been remodeled from when it was the Bella Vista Inn. I'd give it a 3/5 this time around. The cold water faucet in the bathroom sink didn't work (though there was  another working sink in the bedroom), the TV came with no instructions and there was no chest to put clothing in. Still, it was quiet and reasonably comfortable (though $150 + $20 for the pup in a room with only one queen bed). 

 Tom sat outside with Parker.

 We met Coulter Buhler and Chandler at Storm Cloud Brewing in downtown Frankfort. Michigan.

 Great pizzas!

 Coulter and Chandler. We met them in Jackson, Wyoming earlier in the summer. Chandler spent summers in this area of Michigan at a family cabin (and later home).

 Chandler worked here as a barista: Petals & Perks in downtown Frankfort.

 We love Crystal Gardens in Frankfort and always stop by.
