Summer's trying to come to the U.P.
we had a day a few weeks ago that gave us a glimmer of hope... and then the cool and cold temps.have been with us for quite some time. There's been very little rain as well.So that's my weather update for our area. Speaking of weather, the infamous John Dee paid us a visit and it looks like we may have the web cam up and running again.Our fingers are crossed, as many of you check in for updates. John said that the pictures should update every 10 min.Here's hoping we have it fixed! It's greening up here, the flowers are in bloom and the trees are starting their blooms as well. We are about 1 month behind everyone in the lower Mich.area, Ohio and Ill.I've only mowed once so far, today I may hit it again.Well not a whole lot happening for us here at the cabins, station or in life. Our annual events are scheduled, Hay Days, NHRA Drag races,and the U.P.M.D.A. 20 year reunion. Hard to believe 20 years have passed since we were into mud drag racing. It was good friends and good times.We received a DVD from Dobson Entertainment, the commercial DVD for Premier Sleds that was filmed here in the spring, it was VERY NICE. It is really neat to see what is used as footage in the end, as it takes several days of footage to prepare a 2 min. segment. For the next Born to Ride DVD,it has 2 years worth of footage, should be interesting to see the out come of that one, we had a sneek peak, very nice, what we viewed.There has been an increase in ATV traffic in the area which is good for the area.Our economy has now felt the pinch, a few local businesses have laid off workers, but a few on the other hand have been called back. The big blow rumored is Camp Kitwin, a minimum security prison may close.Gas prices have had there ups and downs, not to sure where that's headed. Sure hope we are able to accommodate our annual guests and that everyone is still planning their trips, are having good health, and still working or at the very least enjoying their retirement.Well soon my good friend will be here for a visit and then the next big holiday, the 4th. of July, soon we'll be headed for the longest day of the year to be followed by shorter days, which means we're that much closer to winter! I know don't rush time.... |
