Day 239
The weather was very cooperative this weekend and the lakes were full of boaters and jet skiers. The Blodgett Airport here in Houghton Lake had at least a dozen planes parked there. A large number except when there is a fly-in.
When I passed Higgins Lake yesterday the DNR public access parking was overflowing onto Old 27, trucks with trailers parked along both sides of the two lane blacktop road.
For the most part I stayed well clear of town but I did drive out to Roscommon to the grocery store for some essentials.
It should be busy here for the rest of the month. Families are on vacation. In August the crowds will thin out some as families prepare for children returning to school.
We'll have a wild weekend with Bud Bash, the first saturday in August. Then slow down until Labor day weekend for one last hurrah of summer. For the rest of September, vacation home owners will be closing up their cottages until next year.
Some romantics will come for the autumn colors. And some hardcore fisherman will be searching for that last "big one" before the weather gets too cold for boating. Other sportsman will switch to hunting.
Soon enough another year will be at an end. And we'll be wishing for summer again.
Until tomorrow,
Ken
