Look who I convinced to go with me! He's even smiling. I didn't make him walk much, and he actually said he had a good time.
Got off the blacktop, but still weren't anywhere I'd consider off the well-travelled paths. This tree is on Stephens Road.
We made a stop at Hoag's Lake. It was looking nice. The only ones enjoying it were the geese.
After that we made a big loop on some much-less-travelled roads. In fact, I think we took one I'd never been on. It certainly was not the road I thought it was. More on that another day.
For now, I'll tell you that we ended the loop by coming south through the Manistee National Forest near Nordhouse Dunes. This view is on Green Road, always one of my favorites.
Om had had enough by then, but we had to stop for one spectacular October sky picture before we got home.
I have found a few more places that need exploring! A quality day on many levels.
I have ordered a replacement camera.

Lulu: "That looks like a great place for a walk! And even for standing around looking at the sky and feeling the breeze, if that's what anyone would rather do!"
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see the fall colors. Beautiful view of the lake
ReplyDeleteLulu- there were lots of walks I wanted to take at these places, but I was happy to get the non-walker outside.
ReplyDeleteAnn- thanks. It wasn't very colorful at the lake, but still the light was nice.
