  • INTRODUCTION a Sense of the Place the Leelanau
    INTRODUCTION A Sense of the Place The Leelanau Peninsula is one of those places that visitors love because it conforms so readily to their idea of it. It is a place to resort, to recreate, to escape the pace of city life, to find solitude and seek tranquility. In the slapdash language of travel magazines it is both a destination and a state of mind; a Mecca for nature lovers; a precious gem awaiting discovery; the Riviera of the North and the Cape Cod of the Great Lakes Such designations mean nothing, of course. A place can’t be captured in easy phrases. To understand Leelanau you must spend time there. To know the place – any place – you must invest yourself in it, dig into it with your hands and feet, bury your face in it, get a noseful, an earful, a mouthful. It feels like home to me. I worked here summers when I was a kid, and year-round as a young man, and have lived most of my life within a few miles of it. I’ve hiked, fished, hunted, biked, camped, skied here; have returned for family reunions, graduations, weddings, and funerals. My mother and her sisters and brother were born in Glen Arbor and spent much of their early lives exploring the dunes, the woods, and the Lake Michigan shore. My father’s family bought acreage in the southern portion of the county in the 1940s and established the original Sleeping Bear Farms, where they grew cherries and made maple syrup and raised palominos. Several dozen of my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and shirtsleeve relatives on both sides live here or are buried here.

  • TC CHERRY BLOSSOM TOUR GUIDE 2021.Indd
    blossom Tour GUIDE ANTRIM | BENZIE | GRAND TRAVERSE | LEELANAU In Japan there are at least 70 words that describe cherry blossoms. Here in northern Michigan we are a little more succinct. We have one word — Stunning! There is a bit of a dance around the Traverse City cherry blossoms. The blossoms only last a few days. Since their flowering is dependent on the warmth of the ground and the amount of sun in the sky – the blossoms pop in different parts of the region on different days. We dance around the area to see where the next explosion of color takes place. Cherry blossoms are best experienced by most of your senses. Yes, your eyes will take in the feast of color through miles and miles of rolling hills. But if you are able to stand in the orchard — stand still — be silent — and your other senses will come to life. You can hear the sound of bees active with their own ritual of pollination. You can feel a gentle breeze that blows small white petals that lightly touch your skin. Take in a deep breath and smell the sweet aroma of spring. Standing here in northern Michigan during cherry blossom season and you will realize these blossoms have taken you to a pretty great place. It takes a little timing to explore the cherry blossoms. It’s not an exact science. Farmers watch for the signs, but northern Michigan spring weather can shift and impact when the blossoms open. So the best thing to do is to stay vigilant and watch for the signs.
