Finally, with nothing on the schedule and the weather clear and calm, I talked the wife into a color flight "up North" Departed Sparta airport (West Central Michigan) late morning and first view looks promising!
Took off to the North towards Cadillac and towards Traverse City. A little too early for full color but some bright areas.
Looks like a cloud bank to the NW and thats where we are planning to go, along the lake shore.
Very short hop over the top with lots of holes to look down through.
Skipping a cloud covered Traverse City, went directly to the lake shore and Sleeping Bear Dunes national park. Can see South and North Manitou islands out in the lake.
Not much color so turned south down the lake shore.
Platte Bay point. All those crescent lines are old beach heads. From a time in the near past when lake levels were much higher!
