They are definitely on my "cute" list!<br /><br />Ann- We didn't see an eagle, but it sure would be a place they would like. We saw and heard quite a few hawks.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-330059541326400182010-07-03T07:08:40.146-04:002010-07-03T07:08:40.146-04:00Cool shot of the snail.

I'll think about possibilities in the length you are looking for. Unfortunately, I'm not going to personally know some of the short gems in that area, but I have friends who might. The Jordan River Valley is another hour north of there, and at the length you need, you'd have to do an in and out hike.<br /><br />I'll email you.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-2031283294591267582010-07-01T20:04:11.416-04:002010-07-01T20:04:11.416-04:00@Sharkbytes - This looks like another terrific adv...@Sharkbytes - This looks like another terrific adventure. <br /><br />My wife, Mary and I will be in Traverse City, MI in late August. Can you recommend any hikes for that area. It looked like the Jordan River may be within a short drive from Traverse City.<br /><br />I promised Mary it wouldn't be all hiking. Probably just a day or two. We usually do day hikes of 3 to 6 miles with generous helpings of ice cream when we are done. :)<br /><br />The rest of the time we will be relaxing or sightseeing. We have never been in that section of Michigan before and we are really looking forward to seeing this wonderful area.Ken Brownhttp://www.youcanlearnseries.comnoreply@blogger.com
