Sentimental Journey

Feeling nostalgic today. Another summer season is quickly winding down - our greatest treasures (our children) are soon returning to school, leaves have tinges of color and my personal favorite, apples are nearly ready for picking.
Quite a few requests come in from vacationers from the past wanting to know if they places they stayed at are still around. I do not have an answer for many of them - but a drive around the lakes indicates that they have been replaced by private homes/condos, upgraded and look somewhat different, or have been removed. Have some fun - come check them out for yourself. Make a Sentimental Journey to Higgins Lake, Houghton Lake and Lake St. Helen "to renew old memories."
A drive around the lakes also indicates how much has not changed. This has been a glorious summer - lots of time spent on the beaches, superb fishing, fabulous sunsets - everything that makes Michigan's Other Great Lakes a haven for vacationers.
When was your last Sentimental Journey to Roscommon County? Do not think of it as your "destination" but as your "landing point" - stay and enjoy the beauty, and then make a day trip to explore the rest of northern Michigan from here.
