    Considering moving up to Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids from New Orleans next summer. I'm a DJ so literally everyone I know from around the country comes to Detroit for Movement Festival every May (biggest best Techno festival in the world) . I didn't realize how much water I can put a kayak in or miles of bike trails I can ride in the state of Michigan - great fit for me.

    What length hammock straps did you use?

    • @michiganadventurestories
      @michiganadventurestories Місяць тому

      Mine are 10ft but I just shorten them by using the loops in the strap. These happen to be the ones I’m using - just random one I already had in my garage for my hammock. a.co/d/0hbKe3tW

    My grandparents built a house in the 80’s on Crawford Ave in the McIntyre Landing/Harbor Beach area. We had lake access right next to the channel mouth. My grandpa was the chief officer for the mess on base for years. He passed away in 2004 and my grandma sold the house in 2005. I spent my childhood there, and 90% of my happy memories come from there. It’s been almost 20 years and I miss it every, single, day. Your video made me emotional. Not because it’s sad, but because the lake keeps calling me home. Thank you for posting.

    • @michiganadventurestories
      @michiganadventurestories 7 місяців тому

      I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching. I parked there that day which I do sometime to walk some of the mountain bike trails further away from the lodge. I am very familiar with the area, I have been adventuring in those woods since the late 70's. We used to camp at Pine Knoll campground and I remember little smookie railroad, the hotel, Fred Bear museum and the ice cream shop at Bear Mountain. Back when they were all horse trails we used to ride our motorcycles there often.

  • @BucksBassAndBourbon
    @BucksBassAndBourbon 10 місяців тому

    Margrethe has become a favorite of mine for bass and I make a point to fish it whenever I’m up from the Lansing area. As mentioned already, find the drop offs along the weed lines and fish different depths with crankbaits, spinners and swim jigs or chatterbaits casting parallel to the depth lines until you find where they’re hanging out. At first and last light target the shallow flats with spinner baits and swim baits. If you get a few bites keep at it until it slows. Then try some slower baits like jigs and ned rigs to clean up. I’ve caught smallmouth in the shallow and mid depth flats near cleaner bottom and sparse grass and largemouth closer to weedy cover and also on the flats in low light. Plenty of fish in there, but sometimes you really have to work for them. Expect to lose a few baits to pike. Good luck.

    • @michiganadventurestories
      @michiganadventurestories 10 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching. In this video I start right downtown Grayling and I paddle upstream from the park. I believe it is still the main Ausable River. To head the other direction towards McMasters you would have to be on the other side of the road in town after a portage since the river is not passable due to rocks.

    Thanks, riding up to visit a niece temporarily living in Grand Rapids. Looking up riding options.

    • @michiganadventurestories
      @michiganadventurestories 11 місяців тому

      Enjoy your visit. Maybe this will help for some ride options while you are in town 1. This video look for Honeycreek road just outside of Ada Michigan which is east side of GR. Plenty of great roads heading north and east. 2. Look for Leonard Avenue just north of Standale Michigan (NW GR area) and ride Leonard West all the way to Spring Lake. You are then very close to Grand Haven state park to see the Grand River empty into Lake Michigan and the beach. Ride south out of town in Grand Haven to M45 and ride East back to Standale. Good loop 3. Ride south east of Grand Rapids taking Patterson south (paralleling US131 to Gun Lake area. Circle the gun lake looking for Wildwood on the south end of the lake. Great roads throughout the Yankee Springs Recreation area. Take Gun Lake road to the NE towards 179 and then head back to the west. Or 179 to the east and catch M37 to head back north towards GR.
