Mark your calendars - December 3rd! Giving Tuesday is just two weeks away and will only last 24 hours. Chuck and Poppins had visited the amazing group, the Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse Preservation Society, last August. (Links are in the comments.) Already Restless Viking followers have raised $15,000 for the second oldest lighthouse in the Great Lakes! Thank you!
TBILPS has a goal of $100,000 for a permanent dock and walkway to the island.
That may sound like a lot, but if 2,000 people each give $50.00, the goal can be reached! Creating public accessibility will enhance eco-tourism and an appreciation for our ancestors.

The mission was to find a route across the Algoma wilderness only using bush roads and some unmapped roads. Here is the story.

Sadly, the Kalamazoo State Theater will be closing its doors following their November 23rd event. Take a peek 'behind the curtain' from our personal tour a couple of years ago.

Remembering all the movies I saw there as a kid. They hosted the Boy Scouts for The Incredible Mr. Limpet we were lined up around the block waiting to get in. Also saw Father Goose there and they had the little airplane on the cable that would " fly across the ceiling" before the show with small lights as stars. And there was the organ that came out of the floor left stage.
This is horrible news. The arts and live theater are so important especially now.
Oh Hell, I saw the Violent Femmes there mid 80s. What a great venue.
Pears Mill (pronounced /Peers/) operates by water-power! Join us for a step back into the 1860's at Buchanan, Michigan's working mill.

I've drove by there twice hoping to catch it up and running but it didn't look too healthy when I saw it like ten years ago. Would likely be pretty loud in there when it is running. Not like they have high precision berings with straight shafts. Good thing I don't own it I'd turn it into a fresh stone ground flour wood fired pizza joint. 😃
It is always nice to meet you guys. Thanks for saying "hi" Tony & Cristina!
