Caching around Northern Michigan made a few finds while traveling up north with the family for "Spring"break. The air quotes are for the fact that our spring got off to a snowy start.

| Snow on the 18th of April |
For spring break one might try to go someplace warm and sunny. Our family decided to go to the northerm part of Michigan where the snow and cold is even more likely. Next time we should

and find someplace warmer to go.

| Caching some of the Rest Areas in the Northern Lower Peninsula |
Traveling with two young'uns and a puppy, made it so that we pretty much had to stop at EVERY rest area that comes along Northbound I-75. It did not take long before the kids would ask at every stop. "Any caches nearby?"
 |
| Near the Bridge |
Fortunately, there are many caches located at the rest areas. So we were able to pull some up on the phone using c:geo and my
Android phone.

We even learned a little (accidentally) while seeking earthcaches. Some geological history of the UP and the lakes and rivers that we visited.

It turns out that my kids were better at spotting the caches on the ground and under rocks and logs than me. Happy to be roaming around with the family for a change instead of packed up in a suitcase as usual.
