Wreck of the Jennie and Annie washes up on Sleeping Bear Point
About a week ago now I came across this photo by Mark Lindsay. I asked former Park Ranger Bill Herd, and he told me what has since come out in the media. Sleeping Bear Dunes historians believe the schooner fragment, estimated to be about 40-feet long and peppered with twisted metals spikes, is part of the shipÕs bilge keelsons, which the Oxford Handbook of Maritime Archeology says were long timbers running most of the shipÕs length, strengthening the keel.   read more »

Leelanau Snow Day & Snow Report!

Filed under: benzie,glen arbor,Leelanau,outdoors,skiing,sleepingbeardunes,weather,winter — Andrew McFarlane @ 8:59 am

Our first major blizzard of the season has closed schools and rendered roads treacherous. As we head into the winter season, it's probably a good time to dust off some links to help you deal with winter.

The TV 9&10 School Closing Page will let you know if your school is closed or on a delay and you can set your school so you see it at the top.

Ski Leelanau!Once you know school is closed, you'll want to get out and enjoy that snow. A great place to start is our Ski Leelanau page. It offers reports for downhill skiing at The Homestead and Crystal Mountain resort and also cross-country skiing trail reports.

If you want to range a little further afield, check out these Michigan skiing articles & links from Absolute Michigan!

The photo is 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow'! by John Levanen and if you have another link that you like, share it in the comments!
