Heading to Northern Michigan for Golf!

 

In 2025 I didn’t go on the annual golf trip to Northern Michigan because Tony and I did the Epic Motorcycle Trip (Texas to New Mexico to Colorado to Utah to Idaho to Montana to Wyoming to Colorado to New Mexico to Texas).

Itinerary (lots and lots of golf)!

2026 I’m back on the annual golf trip to Northern Michigan and we leave on August 1 (unfortunately a 5:00 am flight. Thanks, Tony, for taking me). A couple of weeks ago we had a brief panic about this trip because the Canadian wildfires turned the air into awfulness (and orange). But it cleared up!
