The story of Mike
Harbor Springs, MI. Driving Tour 2016
Harbor Springs is a city and resort community in Emmet County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,194 at the 2010 census.
Harbor Springs is in a sheltered bay on the north shore of the Little Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan. The Little Traverse Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse on the Harbor Point peninsula, which shelters the deepest natural harbor on the Great Lakes. M-119 connects with US 31 7 miles (11 km) east and south at Bay View, and Petoskey, which is 4 miles (6.4 km) away on the south side of the harbor.
The area is known for its historic summer resorts, such as Wequetonsing, (Seen at 21:20 Until End) which was founded by Illinois businessmen and lawyers Henry Stryker, III, and Henry Brigham McClure. They were both connected with the Jacob Bunn industrial dynasty of Illinois.
The European-American settlement started with a mission by French Catholic Jesuits; they called this area L'Arbre Croche, meaning Crooked Tree. In 1847, L'Arbre Croche had the largest concentration of Native Americans in Michigan. French traders renamed the area Petit Traverse, or Little Traverse, when they arrived in the area. After more settlers came to the area from the eastern United States, they changed the name of the village to Harbor Springs, incorporating it in 1880.
The federally recognized Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians are descendants of the numerous Odawa bands that historically occupied this area. They have their tribal offices in Harbor Springs, and a gaming resort in Petoskey. Their reservation lands encompasses approximately 336 square miles (870 km2) of land in Charlevoix and Emmet counties.
One of the city's more prominent European-American residents was Ephraim Shay (1839–1916), known for his invention of the Shay locomotive. The hexagonal-shaped house he built in downtown Harbor Springs still stands today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The local elementary school is named after him.
Another building of interest is the Douglas House on the shore of Lake Michigan. Designed by noted architect Richard Meier and completed in 1973, this house is one of 150 structures listed in 2007 as America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.
Harbor Springs was the location of the Club Ponytail, a famous music hall destroyed by fire in 1969

Best Michigan Tunnel of Trees Video Ever
Best Michigan Tunnel of Trees Video Ever as you drive through this beauty between Harbor Springs and Cross Village.
As you travel through the Tunnel of Trees the music bed of this video is from Michigan Singer/Songwriter Don Middlebrook.
The Tunnel of Trees is a 16-mile scenic road that begins in Harbor Springs and ends in Cross Village. As you travel along M-119’s narrow road, you will notice it lacks a centerline (caution: don’t drive this route if you are in a hurry!)
Along the way visit Pond Hill Farm, Thorn Swift Nature Preserve, Good Hart General Store and Devil’s Elbow. The daunting name is probably a translation of the Native American name that meant, “Where the Spirits Live,” local legend has it that the curve has been the site of supernatural phenomena over the years.

Sleeping Bear Dunes 250 Ft up from the Eye in the Sky!
Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, Michigan. I took the drone up 250 FT in the sky and it still didn't even clear the dunes to see Lake Michigan Behind it as the Dunes go up 450 FT. The dunes are massive and the video was spectacular even in the 25 MPH winds that were going on!
The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a United States National Lakeshore located along the northwest coast of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan in Leelanau County and Benzie County. The park covers a 35-mile (60-km) stretch of Lake Michigan's eastern coastline, as well as North and South Manitou Islands.

The Wadsworth House, Bed & Breakfast, Traverse City, Michigan
Welcome to The Wadsworth House
The Wadsworth House is a recently renovated five-bedroom vacation home in Traverse City’s Historic District. It is located adjacent to Lars Hockstead auditorium, three blocks from West Bay and the heart of downtown.
The Wadsworth has operated for over 100 years, as a rooming and boarding house. Amenities include: a shared kitchen and bathrooms, upscale furnished rooms, incredible location, and a quiet historic neighborhood.
The Wadsworth was initially purchased renovated in December 2012 by the Shaws. They spent countless hours restoring the historical features, and updating rooms and bathrooms.
On May 17th, 2016 Jason and Daena Thibodeau purchased The Wadsworth and continued the renovations and updates. They look forward to continuing the Wadsworth as an inn style vacation getaway.
The History:
The Wadsworth House dates back to as early as 1899 when Mrs. Cora Downing took in boarders. In 1910 the U.S. census listed six residents at 402 Wadsworth. They included Henry and Bertha Sparling – head of household, Mary Louise Fitts-boarder and teacher in Traverse City, Clara Miner-boarder and assistant clerk at the Traverse City clerk’s office, Robert Edwards-roomer and salesman at a local Traverse clothing store, John Hike-roomer and commercial traveler and Etta Minor-roomer who worked as a sales lady at a dry goods store.
The difference between roomer and boarder were meals. The boarders of course were served food and the roomers had a room only. The Wadsworth is currently not serving food, but we do provide a private kitchen with goodies for the guests.
Henry Sparling died in 1951 and the Wadsworth sat vacant for a couple of years until it was purchased by the Anderson family, who ran the home as The Wadsworth House for Girls. The third owner was Francis Vannunen, who deeded the property to Diane Fotchman. Ms. Fotchman continued operations until she sold the home in December of 2012 to William and Deborah Shaw. The Shaws significantly renovated the home over 4 years, until sold to Jason and Daena Thibodeau in May of 2016. The Thibodeau’s have continued (and are still continuing) renovations. The Shaw’s then the Thibodeau’s opened the home as a vacation getaway to Traverse City visitors since 2013.
The Wadsworth is, as far as we know, the only grandfathered-in boarding/rooming house in Traverse City. The Thibodeau’s are operating the Wadsworth under a Traverse City rental license Number CR13-0001.

What is close to the Wadsworth?
Everything Traverse City!
That means beaches, Clinch Park & Marina, swimming, volleyball, paddle boarding, kayaking, Cherry festival, Film Festival, theaters, the remarkable historical must see Grand Traverse Commons, the Boardman River, tons of wineries, micro-breweries, the Tart trail, the Vasa trail, incredible food, coffee shops and shopping….. Just to name a few and all walking distance.
The Wadsworth is across the street from Lars Hockstead Auditorium, 2 blocks from the Cherry County Playhouse, 3 blocks from West Bay, and 3 blocks from downtown. In just 5 minutes and you can be eating breakfast on the patio of Patisserie Amie sipping a cappuccino, strolling the beach for Petoskey stones, or watching a movie at the State Theater.
The walk is not just a walk. It is a river walk, past the turn of the century mansions on sixth street, through the Hannah Park by the old Library (now the Traverse City Arts Center) along the Boardman River. You will think you have landed somewhere in Europe if you walk from The Wadsworth, but that’s just Traverse City.
