View Full Version : West Branch, MI
I hitched up my trailer and hauled 6 of us to Tractor Supply Company to buy a pedal boat (in Michigan, they're on sale this week), then headed up north to pedal around a small lake. Awesome day... about 85F and sunny. All three kids slept like babies on the ride up. My 118 had plenty of room for 6 people, 6 adirondack chairs, a cooler, and a trash can. Lovin' the ample space on road trips. Previous car was a Scion xB. This was our first day trip in the Sprinter.
shoot.. can't attach a pic from my phone...
Finally got to a computer to upload a pic.

It looks very nice. I have many pleasant memories (some a bit fuzzy) of sailing and good times on Tawas Bay which isn't very far from there. Great area and great people! vic

How far did you pedal out?

Yep. Tawas Bay is a fun area. And that area of the state caters to the creation of fuzzy memories.
How far did you pedal out?
heh. The 3 year old screamed and wanted out of the boat before we launched. The 2 year old went 100 yards and wanted out. The 4 year old did 2 laps around the lake, and when I complained of tiredness, she complained of not picking enough lily pads. So I was pedaled out. Definitely best to stay near the shore on a breezy day...

Well, it's been two for 5 years. Not even thinking about three. :crazy:
This is when the 2nd one was four.
