Unless you drive up on a Friday after work, it's hard to tell how many Michiganders have made the weekly migration. All year long, a line of cars starts snaking its way up I-75 from the southeast part of the state. M-119 is a popular destination no matter the season. In the spring, trillium forms a white carpet along the road. In the summer, we head north out of Cross Village to some of the best beaches in Michigan.
Sand dunes hide the shore from the road.
The winter brings dramatic ice formations on the lake and pines dusted with snow. I'm glad that show's a couple months away.
