I am looking forward to this weekend. See you soon!

Awww...we won't be able to make it....sooo close yet sooo far away.
We still have thorough check to do before a roadtrip.
Next time!

Sorry to say I will not be attending… again.

In August we had a huge storm with winds up to 100 mph. Much of the Traverse City area saw major tree damage and power down for a week. Worst hit was the Glen Arbor area. M22 was closed for a week with hundreds of trees 2ft or more in diameter tipped over.

Here in Kalkaska we saw about 70 mph. Lost some big trees here, no serious damage but a 3 inch tree limb went right through the roof of the coach.







I went to check my hunting camp in Antrim county. No damage a only a few small trees down near the cabin. Unfortunately, a short way down the trail to where I hunt was not so lucky. I didn't realize until last week when I went down the trail.

I went after it with my trusty Stihl. Many hours later I have made little progress but I apparently managed to trash my shoulder cutting overhead. I had to get help to finish my Centramatic balancer installation. I am now the one-armed man, hoping it is not the rotator cuff but either way I've been painful and useless for a week, so I'm laying low this weekend.

The trail was once open and clear through the center of this photo… notice the pallet that was in a low spot. I still have a long way to go. That tipped over stump is 8 ft high. The hole it left is a foot deep with water. That sunny area ahead is where ALL the trees are down.



I guess I'm getting too old for this foolishness. Now I know why men have sons…

Steve, very sorry to hear that hard work is taking a toll on your shoulder :^(
Sharon and I were blessed to narrowly escape the horrific storms that day. We were within minutes/miles of disaster the Sunday after the MINI Mack Attack. I insist that it was the Holy Spirit who showed me the canopy of an abandoned Mackinaw City Motel where I could load the car, behind the coach, as the rains pounded the area. Otherwise, there was no protection anywhere in Wilderness State park, were we stayed Friday night and Saturday night.

Sorry to hear of your issues (no doubt, you adjusted for your age by exercising moderation...right? RIGHT?)
