Leelanau Peninsula

First off, my apologies to those who placed comments on the blog. I'm still getting used to this blog thing and I guess I just didn't pick up on the comments. Linda spotted them today and called them to my attention. I will follow up with emails to a couple of you with a response.

We are in the Leelanau Peninsula northwest of Traverse City, Michigan. Specifically we are 3 miles northwest of Suttons Bay in the Wild Cherry RV Resort. I've included a couple of maps to pinpoint our location. Low tech but effective.

The Leelanau Peninsula is an orchard region that produces cherries and grapes on a large scale. Throughout the peninsula are miles and miles of orchards. Cherries are just coming into the harvest season.

The Wild Cherry Resort is actually on a working cherry farm. There are cherry orchards on two sides of the resort and are available for picking your own, for a nominal fee naturally. You can't get them any fresher than that! Here's a few photo's from around the campground.

As always click on the photo for a larger view. For those who enjoy closeup detail click on the dandelion picture.


The last picture is a boat we came across parked across from a marina. It's styled like a small tugboat but has sleeping quarters, a gally, dining area, shower/toilet area and can be equipped with air conditioning and other goodies. What a great way to explored the bays and lakes.
