Detroit and Camp

Took a trip to visit Belle Isle in Detroit, and stopped by Camp Burt Shurley to help organize the craft room. 

Asylum Lake Nature Preserve

I was strolling in the park today.
In the merry month of May.
I was taken by surprise, by a pair of roguish eyes.
And at gunpoint, stole my wallet away.

Manistee River Trail

I hiked the Manistee River Loop, which included the Manistee River Trail and the North Country Trail and had the whole trail to myself for 23 miles over 2 days. I learned that temperature ratings on sleeping bags are not a suggestion AND it should be given a 10 degree buffer if using a hammock rather than a tent. Even though the trees were barren and life had only just come back to the forest, it was a beautiful trip the whole way through. 

Camp Burt Shurley

I enjoyed spending time with familiar friends at Wildwood Ranch and Camp Burt Shurley this week.

When life gives you lemons, you go lemon-shoeing

Snowshoeing in April, because Michigan.

Ken-O-Sha Trail

Surround yourself with beautiful and gentle things.

Ypsilanti

Every week or so, I try to drive somewhere nearby, just to change the scenery. Luckily I have friends spread out through the state whom are hospitable and such. I spend time this week in Ypsilanti, MI with my friends Simeon and Chelsea. They are the types of friends who have the quality of a friendship I enjoy the most, where can be together, without talking, and simply enjoy each others company... 

...But when we do talk, it is assuredly super sophisticated and stuff.
