Am loving your shows, the Big Spring has matured since my introduction in the early 70s! Also love seeing many of my favorite things. Thank you for promoting Michigan! Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. Dad and Grandpa taught us, we taught our nieces and nephew and 4H kids!

1/26/2025 - "The Keweenaw Peninsula" (Episode 1106)
My last Great Adventure was to the Keewenaw in January 2021. When I left my home, along the St Clair River, I had no idea where I would go, so took it mile by mile and day by day. Along the way I met some incredibly welcoming people and enjoyed the wintery beauty of the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Upper Peninsula. I knew it would be the last time I could drive any distance and am so thankful for the experience!

I was amazed one winter my son convinced our family to go snowshoeing in Tahquamenon State Park. I was afraid I'd be cold. After a while I wanted to remove my coat. I really did like doing it, I just don't take the time to do it.

Jim Stone Tom, you're just a troll.😁 I was raised using ketchup or, as they do in Cornwall, UK, Worcester sauce. My Grandfather was directly from there and worked the mines there and the Champion Mine in the UP. Kathy and her gang like gravy. Either one for me.

Man I googled Pine Martens in Upper Peninsula and one of your old videos popped up. I remember watching you years ago and had forgotten about your show. I am so glad I found it by mistake. Thank you for so many memories..I always liked how you were one that always had canoeing. Take care and thank u for sharing.
