1. Go do something in the UP.
2. Visit the Detroit Institute of Arts.
3. Watch the sun set at Sleeping Bear Dunes.
4. Try 12 different independent microbrews.
5. Go mushrooming.
6. Purchase a vegetable share from a CSA.
7. Spend time on Mullet Lake with my family.
8. Go to an unusually themed festival.
9. Attend a county 4-H fair.
10. Share a meal with 50 people I have never met before.

11. Plan a Made in Michigan Thanksgiving meal with family.

    We are traveling the state and meeting new people everywhere in our journey. I just introduce myself and listen to what they have to say. This usually happens over a meal. 50 people is a drop in the bucket.

  5. Thanks. I had no idea what a CSA was and after looking into the term am searching for one to join. It sounds like a great idea and a good way to get fresh, friendly produce while supporting Michigna and its farmers.
