A few posts ago I provided some maps to pinpoint our location. If you were to go back to those maps you can locate the Old Mission Peninsula. The one map points to our location on the Leelanau Peninsula. Looking to the right (east) of the Leelanau Peninsula, and extending northward from Traverse City, is the Old Mission Peninsula.
The maritime influence is strong here just as it is throughout the region. There are small marinas all along the shoreline. Homeowners all along the shoreline have beautiful views out on the water and many have their own docks.
Old Mission Peninsula resembles the Leelanau Peninsula in the fact that the interior regions contain the cherry orchards as well as vineyards. Both peninsulas are similar in respect with a narrow coastal region that immediately turns into hills as you go inland.
We enjoyed the scenery so much, I didn't take pictures until we got to the end of the peninsula and found the lighthouse at the end of the road. An old log home was there also, so I did take photo's there.
