I live in Brethren. It is a small town. So small there is not even a stop light, and only one school that covers three different townships from Pre-K thru high school. It is between Manistee and Cadillac in North West Michigan.
However, there is a wooded park with a pavilion and playground, and a lake across the street with access just a block away. Tippy Dam is just a few miles away and provides great fishing. There are campgrounds and cabins available for rent, and availability at this time of year is wonderful since they primarily cater to hunters.
If anyone is interested in coming to Brethren, let me know. There is no problem in getting to use the park here. The Grayling location was chosen as a first choice because it is central in the state, much like Lansing is on the southern part of the state. I, for one, would like to get together with other members on this site, no matter how many. Sometimes smaller groups are nice. You get to talk to everyone. There are plenty of us in the northern part of the state who simply find the distance to go to Lansing impossible. Some people from the south may still want to come. Everyone is welcome. Make a weekend of it!
If we want to get together, LET'S GET TOGETHER!!! People went to Raz's house and had a great time. It didn't take a lot of planning or scheduling. It was simply said, "Let's meet," and it happened. We can do the same up here.
