Sitting in the camper up north with the crew
Glad I drove up from Kalamazoo
Thinking of the day and the perfect weather
Leelanau peninsula shoreline going on forever
Dunes and water and pines and fern
Blue sky and islands and history to learn
Big and Little Glen lakes, clear and clean
With boats anchored out on the shallows pristine
To hike or to bike, that is the question
Adventure in practically every direction
Natures riches and the finest of views
In choosing a location, we just couldn't lose
A hike in the dunes to see the sights
Four friends, two dogs and seven kids who brought kites.
Hot sun, hot sand and hot feet went for miles
But the views made the adventure all full of smiles
Swim, fish, or just shoot the tube
Shoot the tube? The Crystal River tube!
In the canoe like a water slide
The long dark tunnel is a wild ride!
To finish it off we head to the north
With M22 winding back and forth
To Leland, Fish town! to sample the fare
Carlson's Fishery, there's none that compare!
One last adventure before back to base
We must find petoskey stones and I know the place!
All are successful who would take the time.
Mission accomplished, our trip was sublime!
