The towel was probably taken from a hotel in TC. Local brass pole salesmen are sad. As noted the "Joke" is officially gone! thank goodness the "extreme entremanure" is finally throwing in the towel.

First of all, use your charm to convince the good people of whatever town or county you are in to believe in your pipe dream. Lesson 2: Convince them that they will be instrumental in this pipe dream. By doing this, they will be compelled to buy you dinner and drinks. If you do this well, they will offer more hospitality and invite you to stay with them. Then you can perform late night raids on their wine cellars or take advantage of their well stocked fridges. Lesson 3: Continue to use your charm and offer very ambitious ideas. Use words like partnerships, high profile investors,etc. to help you conceal that you really have no money. Lesson 4: Try to work lesson 1 to perfection before the good people catch on to your game. Lesson 1 to be an extreme entremanure.

Can't say anyone is all that sad to see him go. Now maybe we can move on to more reputable interested parties. Let's hope they fare better.

But she is the "bad guy" for holding up progress? Give me a break. Hang in there Kate, we know you are trying your hardest to steer things in the right direction.

To All,

Unfortunately, at some point it is not healthy to puruse a deal.

Sugar Loaf is no longer able to be opened this season.

Upon arriving to Traverse City, the promise of what was Travere City and Leelanau County drove my efforts for the last six months. Plans were to move to the county and spend the next five to ten years developing the resort.

At this time, thanks to Kate Wickstrom with her stalling tactics, misrepresentations and greed along with her nearly bipolar appraoch to business... Sugar Loaf will once again stay closed for another ski season. She has refused to cooperate with my investors, the banks that own the resort and even new investors that have approached to buy the site or portions thereof as collaberators with me. Her goal is to take it to the grave with her.

Unless Kate Wickstrom gives up possession, Sugar Loaf will stay closed forever.
