Traverse City Week 2

Silver Lake from the Island area of Holiday Park Campground

Historical area at Glen Haven

 We're having a nice visit here in Traverse City.  We had a nice Sunday with Carl & Beth, and they took us out on Duck Lake for the afternoon and fed us. We've gotten a walk in along Boardman Lake.  We've also gotten out on some bike rides - a couple along the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat'l Park.

We've had a lot of fun going out and riding on the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail.  We like going to & parking at Glen Haven.   This puts us a couple of miles west of Glen Arbor and seven or eight miles north of Empire.  The bike trail is a beautiful ride though you have a few climbs of 9% to 11%.

As we're so close Glen Arbor, it's an easy stop after bicycle riding to eat & shop.  We've eaten at Art's Tavern and Cherry Emporium.  We highly recommend both stops if you're in the area.

Still a few more days before we leave.  Donna's planning a bicycle ride starting from Sutton's Bay tomorrow.  We'll probably ride from there south to Traverse City and return.  At least that's the plan.

So that's been our week.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Thanks for dropping by! David
