We survived the last of the snow yesterday. Hopefully we can get a hike in on Friday. Today we went in search of some fishing lakes in Kalkaska county that I have never heard of. They are in a small village called Darragh, which is literally in the middle of nowhere!
Out of the four lakes we went in search of we managed to find two. The first one we found is called Manistee Lake which is still frozen over! There is a campground down the road too. We never did find the public boat launch.
The other lake we found was Twin Lake. There is no access to one of the twin lakes (the one the locals say has the best fishing) but we did find the public access to the other lake. This lake does not allow water skiing and speed boats so it will be ideal for fishing. The one thing I hate is trying to fish while boats are zooming by.
We gave up trying to find the other ones in that area because there are many dirt roads and they all seem to be named the same! I guess you could say we were afraid of getting lost- we decided to make a trip to the campgrounds and get directions from the owner for any other lakes in the area this summer!
Of course, we finally made it back to civilization and pavement and instead of going west toward home decided to explore south. Well, after several lefts and rights we were again lost in the middle of God's country! I can tell you that although we never found any bodies of water we did find a Llama farm. Somehow we made it back to the main highway and headed home. I must say we had a beautiful drive and enjoyed it very much.
Our next search will be in Benzie County on Friday morning before we go for our first hike of the season. We will also have Thomas with us so we can post some great pictures. Come back late Friday night and learn of our adventures for the day! Remember- Think Spring!
