Spent the last few days driving around Michigan, visiting friends, and just generally enjoying fall…
On the road heading up to Traverse City...
Swung by a friends place. He's very dedicated to cider making, and this past summer he started planting an orchard for personal / home use. All kinds of fun / weird / old apple varieties. Can't wait to see what the project yields in a few years time…
They also have a lovely view out their back yard…
Yesterday I grabbed a coffee and a fancy "poptart" that was basically shortcrust with a super tasty apple filling…
Then I went hiking around up on the Old Mission Peninsula (a picturesque peninsula that juts out into Lake Michigan). Pyatt Lake is one of my favorite spots, especially in spring when this place absolutely packed with wild flowers of all kinds…
This time around the trail / forest floor were covered in leaves…
Pardon the poor focus, but there were some beautiful fungi sprouting all around…
Someone brought a nice rocker down to the lake…
And the lake itself…
And now a much bigger lake. This is the view of Lake Michigan while driving down along the west side of the peninsula…
Went down to Lansing (the state capital) last night to visit with a few more friends. Didn't take many photos, but I was able to swing by one of my favorite coffee shops before skipping town this morning. Had a really fantastic lemon zest donut…
And now, a few highlights from my soundtrack on the road…
Sarah Louise - Deeper Woods (one of my favorite folk albums of the year)
Kate Tempest - Let Them Eat Chaos
Remember Sports - Slow Buzz (favorite punk/emo/whatever album of the year so far)
Marissa Anderson - Cloud Corner

Aloha!
Great aerial pics, thanks for sharing. Hope you find what you’re looking for at the next spot. G’luck man! -
If you dig that Sarah Louise record, check out Itasca. Saw them both on the same bill a few years ago.

Great pics!.. What brewery are you looking at btw?.. Come on: spill the beans!.. Barrel aging program and sours doesn't really narrow it down
Beans are ready to be spilled… In a few weeks (as soon as my car arrives in MI from HI) I'll be moving out to the Catskill Mountains in New York to make beer at Catskill Brewery. Can't wait to get out there...
Also, the jacket is on it's way and should be landing with @celik real soon…

We’re trying out a new (to me) method of cooking the turkey this year called spatchcock turkey:

Turkey looks great. We did ours the same way. Some of my favorite breweries are in Richmond.
