Rainy days until late Monday afternoon. Into every life a little rain must fall. Well I guess so. This weekend had to be very hard on the "Leaf Peepers". The dark overcast skies and heavy rains washed out the leaf viewing and the rivers. Growing up in Northern Michigan I know to stay home during a wet tourist weekend. No matter were you go, movies, restaurant, shopping you will have a wait of a hour or more. So those of us lucky locals can stay home, balance the checking account, clean the garage while resting up for the nice weather forecast this week.
The rivers are going to take some time to settle down, but the massive amount of water will benefit the Great Lakes salmon run here in Emmet county. I am looking forward to this week. My plans are to chase Lake Michigan King Salmon through Wednesday and return to the Maple, Pigeon, Black, and Sturgeon rivers by Thursday for Brook, Brown and Rainbows. This week the clear and calm weather, coupled with the peak fall colors are going to be in gorgeous form. I can commiserate with the wet tourists. Convertibles and motorcycles went extinct this weekend, but for us locals we caught up on our house choirs. The upcoming nice weather and rivers are calling...sometimes life just isn't fair; to some!
