Gladstone, the 'Year 'round Playground' of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, is located about 120 miles north from the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and sits along the shore of Little Bay de Noc which makes up part of the dark blue waters of Green Bay on Lake Michigan.

The population of about 5,000 makes for a 'small town' feel but the city has a lot to offer. Gladstone's shore-line includes wooded parks, beaches, a campground, a boardwalk through natural settings, and a public boat launch near the yacht club and tranquil marina. In summer months, the bay churns with all types of water activity - from swimming and boating to world-class walleye fishing. The Gladstone Golf Course lies in a pristine woodland along the Days River where deer roam the tree-line. The town hosts the area's festive Fourth of July celebrations each yar. In winter, Gladstone offers a ski park, ice fishing, hunting, and snow machine trails. An annual motorcycle race event takes place on the nearby, frozen, Escanaba River.

Recently renovated downtown streets, the many houses and buildings that are more than a century old, and the numerous 'mom and pop' businesses and services all enhance the friendly, relaxing, small-town atmosphere. For a big time in a small town, visit Gladstone.

Time to Head South

   I got my hangar plowed out, repaired a broken water line, and fired up the '76 Volkswagen La Bamba. Two electric heaters took the bitter chill out of the place but the air still felt warmer on the hand inside the refrigerator than in the kitchen; an odd sensation. Whenever it warms up enough to sleep here, it will be warm enough to sleep in the VW so it may just be awhile before I'm officially 'home'.   The snow melted quickly on the 9th - the day I got back on the road...

The Run for Home

  Anticipation of completing the voyage prevailed over the aches, soreness, and fatigue that it had induced over the past five days. I maneuvered a wide and cautious turn to merge back into the choppy seas funneling into Little Bay de Noc. Though visibility was unlimited, a fog horn on the Escanaba Harbor Light bellowed a periodic deep monotone moan that apparently signaled small craft warnings. Swells lifted the Klepper from behind to several feet then lurched it forward like a sluggis...

  My Alaska Airlines flight touched down at Chicago O'hare about 7:00 a.m. By eight, I was on 294 North in a one-way rental car. I bee-lined through Milwaukee, Green Bay, and into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan then dropped the car at the Escanaba Airport, called Poorboy, and got a ride the remaining eight miles. Despite the one hour time change from Chicago, it was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when I reached home.   Which has become routine over the years, I jotted down t...
