The plan was a short walk to see some lighthouses and watch the sun set on the Pacific. That's not exactly how it happened...

Humans may have built the road, but it is very clear that the forest owns this space and the humans are only visiting.

May this be the year you look back upon and realize you have lived an entire lifetime within it... ~ Brianna Wiest

"I had not been on a trail in over a month and when I passed the threshold into the meadow it was as if Mother Nature herself enveloped me and said, 'Welcome home.'"

I went out in search of lighthouses along the western coast of Lake Michigan and the southern coast of Lake Erie. I got to dip my toes in the unsalted water and walk right out into the lake without getting wet.
