Then we headed over to Leelanau County. First stop was the Miles Kimmerly Memorial Park - a most excellent facility. It's used for soccer, baseball, hiking, beach volleyball, and disc golf. We went there to find a cache, which Dick found in record time.
While he was in the woods, I was watching a group of approx. 15 young men throwing frisbees around the outfield. When they came back to the parking lot I could hear them talking - one of them was getting married at 4 p.m. and this was how his friends and relatives were unwinding before they had to get dressed up.
Next stop was the Aylsworth-Johnson scenic overlook. A cacher had reported that the velcro on the cache had come off and it was just lying on the ground. We replaced the log book, which was really in bad shape. Dick figured out that we would need a hammer and nails to replace the cache the way it had been. So we were off to Glen Arbor to get a hammer and some nails.
When you're in Glen Arbor at lunch time, you really should stop in at Boone Docks for lunch. So we did. Then on to the hardware store and back to the overlook.
Next we headed for Frankfort, and we were amazed to see that Frankfort was having a combo Arts and Crafts Fair, and a Classic Car Show. That little town was a beehive of activity. Dick was looking for the Cross Country Cache on the Elberta Beach, but after a trial run, he found that the trail he was on was blown out, and he decided to try it another day.
Lake Michigan was gorgeous - the bluest of blues. We saw a hang glider near the Elberta Bluff. Sometimes there's just so much beauty in the world that you can't take it all in.
