Livin' out here on "The Leelanau": The Road Wearier 1978. The Grand Traverse Lighthouse

I take a bicycle ride out the the Grand Traverse Lighthouse quite often. Its located at the very tip of the Leelanau Peninsula, in the Leelanau State Park. The lighthouse is administered by a non profit group under a lease with the Sate of Michigan.

Livin' out here on "The Leelanau": The Road Wearier 1978. Down the Old Plank Road!

I'm a big fan of Uncle Dave, and this is one of my cheap tricks to include music where it doesn't really belong.
