I forgot to post this earlier. It's part of an email from the power company, and an outage map from their site. Wind speeds of 74 mph and higher are hurricane force, and the wind was blowing up to 90 mph.

I do have a daffodil growing with one of my tulips. Both bulbs must have been planted in the same hole. The high temps for the week starting today are 50s, 40s, 30s, 40s, and back in the 50s again. It averages 2 days in a row in each temperature range. Maybe if it stays in the 50s or higher the flowers will bloom. Not that they need it to be warm. These pics from March 22nd last year prove that. It's strange that they were blooming in the snow weeks earlier last year than they are this year with no snow. These are the same tulip and daffodil that are growing together this year.

It took me awhile to locate the pics on my phone that my friend's wife sent me. It was some kind of Apple file I never heard of before. After I found it, I had to unzip all the pics and move them somewhere else. This is all from the ice storm a week ago.

I made a map of the place that is nowhere near scale and added a black line to each pic I could that shows where the driveway goes, as near as I can tell.

1. Map of camp.
2. Driveways, entering. Smurf Village is in front of the big tree between the gates.
3. Driveway, exiting.
4. Shortcut between properties. You can go from one to the other without going in and out of the gates.
5. Approaching end of driveway.
6. I just checked for outages and 99.5% of the people in Consumers Energy's area have power. The thumb and diagonal shaded parts are part of Detroit Edison's area.

Cabins 2 and 3 are storage sheds made by local Amish in Mio. My friends finished the insides with knotty pine boards just like the actual cabin and they look better than my house. Number 2 sometimes had an ATV stored inside when it wasn't in use.

1. Cook Tent and Kitchen Shed with wood pile under extended roof.
2. Side of Cabin with propane storage shed.
3. Looking back down driveway from the Y.
4. ;D
5. Screen grab from a game camera 9-1-24. Directly across the trail from my tent. If that buck is still alive he should be good eating size in November.
6. A night visitor at my friend's house. His wife thinks possums are adorable. I think she's nuts.
