    Video clips North Manitou Island Mi

    We decided we had been away from North Manitou for to long and went exploring again.
    The 4 day trip turned into 5 due to high winds
    No rain and few bugs, glad they had a hikers food box so we could get some food for the last day as I always plan pretty close.
    A great trip and recommended if you like exploring old homesteads
    And a thank you to 3Club for his GPS file of the island

    It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
    But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
    Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!

    Great video. Just enjoyed 5 days there about a month ago.
    Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself!

    Definitely my favorite place in the Midwest. Love the beaches, history, peace of the island. I have a bad itch to go this year. Thanks for the video.

    Nice trip report TZ. Thanks for sharing. I've never been in that part of the country. Looks like a nice place to explore.

    Interesting place, that has seen better days! I liked the old house. Have to change the name of the island to, Snake Island. Very interesting video tour of the islands' past. Thanks for the video!

    I've seen piles of snakes on MI. They are of the friendly kind
