Visit to the Manitou Islands

Fifty years ago, Michael said goodbye to North Manitou Island.
He had spent his childhood there. 
He never thought he would be able to return.
Yesterday, we were able to take a guided tour of North and South Manitou Islands.
The memories flooded back as he toured the homes that he stayed in as a child.


 The cottage pictured here is the "Monte Carlo."
It may be tied to Frank Lloyd Wright in “Cottage Row,” a group of early 20th century dwellings
that were built for and occupied by summer residents and visitors. 


Michael enjoyed several meals with the lumberjacks during his island stays.
After months of trial and error, Michael said "I did it!"
He had recreated the exact flavor of the original lumberjack biscuits.
To celebrate the trip, his Northwoods Lumberjack Biscuits are on sale!
