| (2/3/08) Here's a view down North Intermediate Lake Road from the Birch Point (Abby Lane) drive. Snowmobilers have been using Jeff and Lisa's field on the left, which is trespassing, but I don't think there will be any sign of it when the snow melts. |
| (2/3/08) The ice is probably solidly frozen until the spring thaw. You can see one shanty from where this was taken at the Shahan compound. |
| (1/21/08) This is the new building at the Charlevoix Marina that I thought was going to be a mushroom house. Apparently it's a bandshell for summer concerts. I'll keep an eye on it as it develops. |
| (1/15/08) I took this across the highway from the Government Center after I voted. There are only a few inches of snow on the ground, but that's enough to make it scenic without fouling up driving too much. |
| (1/8/08) On the last day of our early January thaw, fog has built up over the wet ice between the Shahan compound and Mile Point. The temperature was 47° when this was taken. |
| (1/6/08) Three days into our January thaw, a thin layer of water lies on top of the ice as seen from the village dock area. This would become a beautiful skating rink if we had a hard freeze with no snow or wind. |
| (1/2/08) State Street from the bridge looking toward town. |
| (1/2/08) This dairy farm is just south of King Orchards on M-88. |
| (12/26/07) Work on the Charlevoix Marina is ongoing through the winter. Judging from the stonework and shape of the roof, the building appears to be a mushroom house design. |
| (12/20/07) Snowmobile tracks onto the ice can be seen from the boat launch at the campground. With the relatively warm weather that we've had the past few days, that's rather risky. |
