Today is the 8th anniversary of my hike around Lake Michigan.

Lake Michigan rocks along Sleeping Bear Bay

This 1,019 mile hike encircling my favorite Great Lake expanded my understanding of this place...and of myself.

Wild weather near Saugatuck, MI

This hike took 64 days

and I averaged 16 miles per day.

Whew!

Crossing the Mackinaw Bridge

This amazing adventure is chronicled in my first book, A 1,000-Mile Walk on the Beach.

And this first journey led to two more 1,000-mile adventures exploring our wondrous 

Great Lakes.
