Never knew these islands were there thanks for covering the bay so we could see it. Cool. We lived in Frankfort MI for 12 yers and went to Traverse City all the time.

I love the kayaking journey. Thanks for taking us along!

Thanks for the opportunity to view your adventures. Great content.

Thanks for taking us on your hike of Power Island. My old office was on the bay in Traverse. I looked at this island for 18 years and always wanted to see it.

Love all the history from your vids. Thanks

It’s so pretty up there

Great story teller and voice to match stories. Live your content

Thanks for watching!!!

Pretty Cool, Thank you for sharing your adventure! I agree, that would be a great spot to hammock camp!!!

In the 1960s I lived there in Traverse City. We did a lot of trolling for lake trout around that island. Saw some big fish, didn't catch many though!

Holy crap! That's an Icon A5 amphibious plane! I've done exactly what he's doing (virtually) so many times now, just wishing I had one of those.

I love your videos.

one of my favorite places ever

Thought i knew a lot about my state till started watching your channel Viking,keep up the great work!! Biggest problem never spent much time on that side of state, thanks again Chuck, stay safe👍👍

Thanks for sharing! Such a cool place!

Thanks for all the content. I look forward to each video and save them for Fridays, enjoying them with a glass of whiskey.

And what a kayak it was rolling seas, breakers, high winds and a bunch of miles.

Getting old isn’t for wimps. I can’t tent camp anymore, either. Back just won’t take it. I love that you Geocache! I opened my Geocaching account in 2003. It’s been a while since Horsewomann and Team Hamster (all Ham radio operators) went out for some finds.

Thanks for your video

Cool vid, It’s a shame a group or someone hasn’t done basic trail maintenance… Would love to visit it.

The good news is, they are back at maintenance. The trails weren’t maintained at the time because the campground was closed (due to COVID), but I believe they are back open and doing maintenance again.

Love your treks to the remote spots I will never get to see in person. Thanks.

Those "chipmunk poles" might be for black squirrels. At the state park in Traverse City the black squirrels are really vicious.

The poles are mainly for the raccoons.

So much for the posted signs and caution tape. 🤣 You look surprisingly comfortable (and natural) wearing a skirt.
