Seasonal Road in Manistee National Forest
The next day, Tuesday, we drove to Brandybrook Semi-primitive Area by way of some gorgeous seasonal roads. This place is just a few miles west of Cadilliac Michigan.
We roamed about a bit in the thick underbrush, there are BEARS here, but we didn't see any. We did see many Tamarack trees, flowers, ferns, just a neat place, so remote seeming.
We tooled around more back roads, some times only a two-track. We ended up at the Silver Creek Pathway, which is north of Luther Michigan. This trail, about a 3+ mile loop, crosses Silver Creek but mainly follows along the Pine River.
After huffing and puffing a bit up the hills we reached the car, traveled west on US 10, then south on US 31 to Hart, having dinner at - yes, La Fiesta!
I dropped Marie at her door and drove the 33 miles home from her house to mine. We covered about 360 miles in those two days!
We are lucky!

We are lucky! What a trip. No stress, just go where we want. Walk in woods, enjoy the wildflowers, see the beautiful blue sky. The vistas. The colorful trees. Love those seasonal roads, always waiting there just for us.
Ahhh. M
your blog pictures make Michigan look like the best place in the world.
Yes Marie those seasonal roads ARE just waiting for us.
To Dr. McCarthy: Well it IS the best place in the world, Right?
