Sunday was a travel day. We drove from northern Michigan to southern Michigan. We did some sightseeing. We did. But we didn't stay too long in one spot; we didn't tarry. We had a date scheduled for Monday at Berrien Center, Michigan. We made time.
We made our way to this Michigan State Park.
We learned that PJ was the .the longest acting Director of Conservation
and the first chief of state parks in Michigan.
In genealogy records, we find Hofmeister spelled in all manner of ways.
We don't think there is a family connection but can't rule it out completely.
A lot of my time in Michigan was spent barn watching. I get all excited about a 1900 dairy barn and if there is a (rammed) dirt ramp up into the barn, I get really excited. This barn had a lovely dirt ramp up into the barn on the left side. It is hard to see.
Michigan is beautiful.
There are Great Lakes.
There are forests.
There are cows and pigs.
There are corn fields, orchards, grapes and blueberries.
There are beaches and islands and all things nautical.
This photo is of a Michigan State Park.
It is a beach and white sand . . . and several hundred people.
We didn't find any parking areas or shelter houses. : )
We will go back to Michigan again. We may not go to Mackinac but now we hfamily to go visit.
