Thank you! I never saw the picture of the Fitzgerald in the Locks. How very cool. And such beautiful shots of Michigan's shorelines and the Lakes. It's not often these days that I swell with Michigan pride, but when I leave behind the brain-dead politics of the state and all its economic woes and focus on her natural beauty and the lifestyle unique to those who live surrounded by the forests, farms, and especially the Lakes, I can't help but be thankful I grew up in such a place.

Yep, I feel the same way about New England (and sometimes I'm even okay with the politics. Sometimes).
