Our favorite spot ...

Posted in Exploring Creation

There is a drive that we love to take as a family.  It takes us through a portion of the nearby State Forest.  Along the way is a scenic overlook from which you can view many acres of  prairie, forest and flowages.

We have been making it a point to drive there every Saturday night in recent weeks.  According to the DNR, hundreds of birds stop there on their migratory flights south at this time of year.



We have seen heron, egrets and eagles, as well as more common birds.  We have heard loons, though we haven't sighted any as of yet.  On our walk to the overlook, we've seen the tracks of deer, cougar, wolves and bear.

I snapped a picture at the end of our last visit.  It's really a beautiful spot.

oh that's nice!
Except that lookout thing? Looks a little scary!
We have some areas like that here. I need to start visiting them.
When we were little my parents always visited places like that. There's a lot of state land in Michigan ...
