Why We Exist
Why I Created Michigan Eco Travel
A five-hour drive for a decent jacket, a career spent verifying things, and why the Great Lakes deserve better than marketing speak.

Fishing
Why Did My Version of Hemingway’s Nick Adams Mean More Than Tracing His Exact Footsteps?
A rustic campsite north of Seney, a kayak instead of waders, and the trout I never caught. Why the wrong river turned out to be the right one.

Mountain Biking
Ann Arbor Area Mountain Bike Grins
Green Lake, Big Kame, and the loops just outside Ann Arbor that break my rule about never doing anything more than twice.
