When Sue and I visit the bookstores I grab magazines, books and anything else I can find about Lake Michigan. Then it's time for a cup of coffee and getting lost in one of them.  

I love reading about sailing and boating in the early days on Lake Michigan. I also enjoy the history of the great lakes in general.  It's easy for me to imagine the hardships that many endured in the early years.

Hemingway's Nick Adams series is I think a special treat.  It puts you in the Northern Michigan area around Little Traverse Bay.  He mentions the Petoskey and Charlevoix areas in pretty good detail.  Great reading by a master!

Researching your travel destinations before hand lets you discover the little things you may not have known. When you do visit, you'll know what your looking for and where it's at.
