TRAVERSE CITY

I had a very aggressive travel schedule on Wednesday. I left Chicago at 5:30AM Central Time in order to be at an appointment in Holland (Michigan) at 10:00AM Eastern Time. Once I finished my first appointment, I scooted up to Traverse City in order to see a manufacturing customer that was considering some of my buttons for bracelet kits to be introduced at a major international tradeshow in January. My appointment on Thursday morning is much closer to home in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I drove back to Grand Rapids in order to be close to my Thursday morning appointment. Before I made that drive, I squeezed in a two hour hike in Traverse City right before sundown. When something is a priority, one can (often) manage to find the time.  



My hike was mostly along the southern rim of the western arm of Grand Traverse Bay (which is part of Lake Michigan)  The hike also had me 'traverse' (no pun intended) the main street of the town as well. This town is busting out at the seams during the summer months. I suppose if one wants to have a Traverse City beach to themselves as I did yesterday, the best time to accomplish that is the early days of fall, close to dusk. 

This tree was on its own 'island' about 5 feet in diameter, about 5 feet from the shore.

The weather was a cool 67°F and I wore a long sleeve shirt and shorts.  In the midwest, the shorts and short sleeve shirt season may soon be winding down.

The water was very choppy in Grand Traverse Bay

It is usually not easy to have a whole beach to oneself in Traverse City.  

A  small portion of my Traverse City urban hike was on the TART. (Traverse Area Recreational Trail)  Had I had more time I would have more carefully planned a hike that would have mostly stayed on the trail - instead, I found myself walking through downtown Traverse City as well as the shoreline. I have no complaints, I was very glad to be able to squeeze in a ten mile hike on Wednesday.
