Will It Ever Rain???

The weather in Michigan has been great so far this summer.  We have had plenty of sun, and almost no rain.  This makes for easy planning of outdoor activities, but it is playing havoc on our lake levels.  At this time of year we usually have several inches of water depth at the seawall.  This year we have about 7 FEET of dry sand in front of the seawall!  No one can remember the lake being down so much.  I never thought I would say this in Michigan, but we could really use some rain!

I am afraid to take the boat out for hitting the prop.  Thankfully, we can still kayak with no problems!  Hope you are all having a good summer.  Is it dry where you are???

Another Day Metal Detecting the Beach

I hit the beach again for some more metal detecting.  It was cooler than has become our new normal in Michigan this summer.  We even had a little rain which we really need more of.  Our lake is very low from the ongoing drought.  I must have burned a few calories walking through waist deep water for a couple of hours!

Metal Detecting Can Be Addicting

Hi guys.  Sorry, I have not been posting much lately.  It is hard to spend time in front of the computer when the weather has been so nice!  However, I wanted to take a minute for a quick update.  I have been spending a lot of time enjoying the outdoors and being active.   I continue to enjoy kayaking and usually go for an evening paddle most days.  My endurance is even slowly improving.  Kayaking to where I used to get tired when I first started now doesn't even break a sweat!

 I have also been enjoying some new hobbies.  I decided I wanted to try treasure hunting or more commonly, metal detecting.   I didn't want to spend too much until I knew I liked the hobby, but I knew I didn't want to buy a crappy detector either.  So I bought myself a Garrett Ace 250 metal detector from Amazon.  So far I really enjoy it because it involves being outdoors and walking around which is good for weight loss.  So far I haven't found  a chest of buried gold treasure, but I have been finding coins!  Check out my vid for more...
