Having grown up in a small north woods, Great Lakes town, I do find Boulder's 4th of July to be rather boring. This year, I declared we would be spending the 4th in Petoskey. And here we are, having driven to Petoskey from the Ohio trail run (with an excellent stop part-way to visit cousin Kathleen in Ann Arbor). I gotta tell ya', there just isn't anything quite like summer on the northern Great Lakes. Ahhhhhhhhh. Here are a few photos that, perhaps, reveal of bit of the reason for my contentment.
Happy Taz! Ready to pounce at those feisty waves

| Stop taking pictures - we gotta get to that water! Woof! |
 |
| Weehaw! Time to run!!! |
 |
| I see those ducks.... |
Happy running!
 |
| At the Petoskey Waterfront - which I pass through almost daily |
 |
| The (old) PHS track/football stadium | |

| My route from home to the track |
Wildflowers along river and lake
Sights along the run around the Bay (Petoskey to Harbor Springs)
 |
| Top of Michigan Trails Council - my heroes! |
Wonderful leisure time
 |
| My reading spot the other day |
 |
| In front of our house - where we take Taz for a stroll many times each day |
An All Hands On Deck gathering was held along the Bay by our house in support of the Great Lakes - one of many gatherings in communities along the Great Lakes in both the U.S. and Canada - where all lined the lakes and held hands at 10 a.m., July 3

| Murphey cousins, breaking bread in our now ready-to-be-lived-in Petoskey home |
And, of course, the sunsets for which Petoskey/Little Traverse Bay is so famous
