Little did Tim Mulherin know that a simple trip to visit his best friend in Traverse City in 1986 would redefine his sense of home and change the trajectory of his life. With his first glimpse of Grand Traverse Bay, he immediately understood the impact of his journey, and life as he knew it would never be the same. From that point on, Mulherin began exploring the region–including Leelanau and Grand Traverse counties and other points north–as a frequent visitor.
Now, in Sand, Stars, Wind, & Water: Field Notes from Up North, Mulherin tells of his love of the area and its people, and in turn encourages visitors to respect and enjoy this national treasure. Mulherin joyfully shares his enduring, decades-long relationship with the region, born of hiking and cross-country skiing on woodland trails, dune climbing, trout fishing, sailing across Lake Michigan to camp on South Manitou and Garden islands, kayaking crystalline waters of local lakes and rivers, driving the scenic M-22 highway, and savoring downtime on Lake Michigan beaches.
Join author and outdoorsman, Tim Mulherin, for this talk and PowerPoint presentation on Michigan’s amazing natural beauty. There will be plenty of time for Q & A following the program. For those interested, copies of Sand, Stars, Wind & Water: Field Notes from Up North, will be available for purchase.
