I have some presentations this winter to talk about Lost In Michigan and  the places I visited in my travels around the Great Lakes State. I hope you will be able to attend one of them. It is always nice to meet people in real life.

The first program is hosted by the Tyrone Township Historical Society and is a fund raiser for the “Move the Old Town House” A small donation at the door is appreciated to help the historical society move the old historic town hall to its new location.

January 29th from 2-4 pm

Please Note these events are held in Michigan during wintertime and who knows what the weather will be like or things may change because of covid. I will post a few days before each event to let you know they are still being held. Hopefully we will be able to do my presentations an you will be able to attend. I will have books for sale but If you already have a book and would like me to autograph it for you please bring them.

It’s a new year and I am not sure what it will bring, where I will go or what I will visit. I hope this year will be a prosperous one but only time will tell. One thing I am contemplating is expanding my travels outside of Michigan. I will always be doing posts around the Great Lakes state since it is my home but I am thinking about heading into Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and other states to see what interesting places I can find.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year and I wish you prosperity and happiness.

Thank you for Subscribing to Lost In Michigan, If you have not subscribed yet, It would mean a lot to me if you did. 

The earth has made another trip around the sun and another year has come to an end. It seems as if there is never enough time to travel to all the places I want to visit but I did take a Sheplers lighthouse tour and see some of the offshore lighthouses to check off my lighthouse list. I also made it to Mt. Arvon, the highest point in Michigan. I am thankful that you could follow my journey around the Great Lakes State and hope that you had a great year. The past few years have been challenging but I am going to stay hopeful and optimistic that things will get better.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to be able to travel and explore the Great Lakes State and the beautiful country that we live in.

I am thankful for your support and kind words of encouragement for what I do. I hope you are a blessed and lucky as I am.

Happy Thanksgiving,

I am excited to announce that my new book has just been released. Light From The Birdcage is a creative non-fiction story about a day in isolation at the Waugoshance Lighthouse that tells the history of this abandoned and forgotten beacon. It also includes stories about the history of lighthouses on the Great Lakes and some of the keepers and people who maintained them. This is a little different than my Lost In Michigan books but if you love lighthouses, or know someone who does, I hope you will check it out. They are available on Amazon HERE
