I wanted to share this as its now my screensaver. Last month wife and I went to the U.P. of Michigan for vacation. Her Gma has a lake all of her own and her Aunt and Uncle have their own private lake down the road on the other side. They are close to Gwinn, and you have to fly into K.I.Sawyer, the old AFB. Now they have move than one flight a day there. Total isolation....and a whole different culture up there...no house ac, and most of the folks are old European Finnish. In fact her Gma is pure Finnish. They have an awesome lake house with a real wood fire sauna. ( pronounced sow-na) it's a great break from the city. There is no cell phone reception there at all. Some days you have to drive to Marquette just to get a good signal. Anyway, the pic below is from their dock. After we landed and drove the house...I walked down to the dock with a beer and just sat there soaking it all in.
