Beaver Island Michigan

D-Family -- For the past several years, my wife and I have made Beaver Island our go-to getaway place, for many of the reasons you cite. We don't live there (yet), but we have a place, and come when we can. Beaver Island won us by the people there and the atmosphere they create. It is a place where ...

Hi, Erin --

I called and spoke with Zander yesterday. I will be coming off the island on Friday morning, and driving back to Indiana. I don't normally route through Traverse, but I certainly could. Give me a call if you still need a ride.

Husqvarna makes an all-wheel-drive walk-behind mower with a Honda motor that I can personally highly recommend. It handles rough and hilly terrain really well, and runs super. It runs about $500. There is a Briggs & Stratton powered version available for about $350. Both are available at Lowes.

I sure wish we could be there!

Hey, Jeff -- Just wanted to thank you again for setting us up with a car for the past weekend. It worked out great for us, and we had a great time enjoying the beautiful island spring. Have a great day!

Team BIrobot, we are very proud of you. You families are proud, your friends are proud, and your community is proud. You worked hard, and your achievements show that Beaver Island has a bright future! Well done!

I own off-lake property on the island, and until last year, owned off-lake-with lake-view property in Indiana. The taxes on the island are roughly triple the taxes here, for a property that is roughly one third the size and significantly lower grade. No question, the taxes on Beaver Island are very,...

Seriously, you kids, you can be really proud of yourselves. You are competing with some of the best, and not only are holding your own, you are excelling. Well done!

So, if any one else wanted to do something similar, does the chamber have any help to offer with content or billboard posters? How does one go about creating an "approved" billboard?

Can't be there to be in it, unfortunately, but will certainly look forward to seeing the play when we are there on Memorial Day weekend! Will you post showtimes and details here on the forum?

For those that missed the dinner last night (like us), here is the link again to give towards Kathy's needs. Thanks for your generosity!!

Marissa -- I can only say that while the situation at BICS is clearly far from ideal, something pretty good is going on there, if you are an example of its product. You are clearly literate, thoughtful and expressive, and that speaks well of the teachers who poured their efforts into you.

Carol -- you point out valid needs for infrastructure that apply to any home, but none of them disqualify microhomes as a valid option. Why NOT a microhome, if it is what fits a person's needs? I suspect that there may be some mis-impressions of microhomes, stemming from how television has portrayed...

bump.

First, I also want to say that I have always been very pleased with the staff and service of the Boat Company. I, too, would love a cheaper ticket, and simply getting to and from the island is a major portion of our visits. But, that fact does not detract from the excellent service provided. The fac...
