A great piece and too close to home for me. I should have visited about half those sites by now. I have friends who have cottages near Clearwater, and I've spent a good deal of my youth criss crossing the Irish Hills. I found this map about a month ago about some of the indian trails in the lower Peninsula. I recognize part of M33 as I've spent some time on that road. Thanks for the trip Viking and Popins! I enjoyed the tour.
We really enjoyed the video!! The history... the way you both tell it! thank you :d
Great video on this history. Thank you!
Did you know that there's an entire cemetery dedicated to service dogs? Poppins happened upon the touching memorials on her way to Northville. Stay tuned for an article.

www.facebook.com/share/16b7VbVfgz/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Beautiful ceremony’s if you are ever around
Also if you’re not aware.. military wardogs and police dogs get 0 end of service care thier retirement falls on their Handlers if they are able to keep them of the adoptive family… there are organizations like Project K-9 Hero that help with that
I think this is really cool. There is a great tribute to military dogs aboard the Valley Camp museum ship up in the Soo as well.
Gleðilegan dag Leifs Eiríkssonar! (Happy Leif Erikson Day). Celebrating the first Icelander (and assumed European) to land on North America. Leif and Da Viking are second cousins (they share Leif's Great Grandfather in blood).

And a Happy Leif Garr . . . oh, you said Eriksen. Well Happy Leif Eriksen Day! (Pretend he's wearing a Viking helmet and is not singing '70s pop songs.)
That's practically considered Scandinavian Royalty! No wonder you are a restless explorer 😊
I see the family resemblance
Da Viking pitched hay and dragged the fields for this 85 year old 9 year old back in '84. He was tough but fair.

That boy is farmer genius
Do you remember the Kalamazoo tornado? Within sixteen minutes the swirling tail had swung through the busiest corridor of Kalamazoo, making it the city’s worst natural disaster.

I remember when this happened even though I was a firefighter in Indiana it was truly a sad time. But Great Facts and Coverage of the storm Poppins. Kalamazoo is a Prime Example the Resilience and Courage of how American People Recover and move on with their lives. With what has happened in the south east portion of our Country. And with what they are facing in Florida right now American’s will meet all the challenges and rebuild. GOD BLESS THE USA 🙏
Yup… got out of a class. WMU… left the parking lot… as I was driving away… the tornado was right in front of me… I turned left, it went more right to downtown. So much hail …. So scared!!!! I was student teaching at Wayland… my teacher visited Kalamazoo right after… she thought there had been a riot… she lived through the riots of Detroit.
I remember when it came through south west mi that year must have been the same one
