We enjoy staying at Elmwood, last time at clinch they put us next to the sidewalk . Bums drove us nuts wanting returnable's. Bad part about that was 2 of them where from Boyne City. True story.

Head up West Bay to just north of the Grand Traverse light to see the poker run boats as they run from Elk Rapids to Northport.

Sounds like there is going to be a whole lot of OSOers in that hood in the next couple weeks. Myself, KSFlyer and team synergy are going to be at Elmwood over July 4th weekend. Doc Pete will be in Sutton's Bay. RT930Turbo, ss022mag, and jriggs will be there at that time and boating around up there before heading over to Boyne Thunder. Just met two more guys in South Haven this weekend that are coming up for the 4th...40' Hustler and a 42 Outerlimits.

Can't wait for Kevin and Kristy to show us their 'hood. :flag:

Our favs are Elk Rapids and Harbor Springs & Leland Fish Town is cool. You can run out to the ship wrecks. Those three can keep you busy for a few days. Marinas are nice and locals are friendly We stay in East Jordan.

Really enjoyed Elk Rapids when we stayed there.
Not at trip by boat, but the Legs Inn at Cross Village is a cool car ride and visit if you are able.

Plenty to do in West Bay...especially with the air shows on the 4th & 5th in Traverse City. Will be a heavy boat traffic area both days. Power Island to hang out or ev n close in by town. Surround Bay is an easy run for lunch. Apache Trout Grill & Holiday Inn have "boater friendly" docks now...cocktails/food/etc. Fireworks Sat nite over West Bay/TC

Going beyond the end of the Old Mission point - Better make sure the weather is good or you could be in for a long day unless you like big close waves:flag::daz:

See u out there!

Stopped there in 2011 when we rode our bicycles from New Buffalo to Mac Island...
