Touring Northern Michigan … 60 years ago

A few weeks ago Leelanau.com featured this nationally produced travelogue from 1949. James A. FitzPatrick's Travel Talks: Roaming in Michigan features views of Glen Lake and the Sleeping Bear Dunes (complete with Sleeping Bear Dunesmobile rides), cherries and Traverse City, a visit to Mackinac Island, naturalist/storyteller/bear park operator John "Spikehorn" Meyer, the Soo Locks and all kinds of summer fun in northern lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, this video is the perfect antidote to this tragically confused April day*.

* For those reading this in the future, or far from Michigan:
a) Lucky you.
b) We have a temperature of 23 degrees and winds whipping around at 40+ MPH!
