  • Great Books About the Great Lakes

    by Jay Townsend
    All things amazing have a history and a story to tell, the Great Lakes are no different.  These are a few of my favorite books (both adult and children) that help me appreciate the historic past and journey of the Great Lakes.

  • Famous Shipwrecks on Lake Michigan (wild stories that involve cows and Christmas trees)

    by Jay Townsend
    To say Lake Michigan is a large body of water is an understatement… it is HUGE!!  While many of us know the Lake for its blue waters and sandy beaches, the lake has a dark side.  Like an ocean, Lake Michigan is unpredictable, dangerous, and unforgiving.  It is estimated that the lake is home to ~1,500 shipwrecks (holy smokes, that is a lot).  Below are 4 of the more famous shipwrecks on Lake Michigan.  Do NOT underestimate the power of our beautiful lake.
