Perfect Weekend, Cancer Be Damned!

Amy & I getting ready to go out for a long day of riding, our friend Joe Bechamp behind the camera. This is my favorite pastime and I have cancer to thank for introducing me to it.

Joe getting a little air. Joe just starting volunteering at Children's Hospital in the Oncology Department.

Here's me doing a little flying of my own. Nothing but 2 feet of powder to land in. What an awesome feeling. Survivors Rule!

This is my cute wife Amy, after hitting her very first jump. She did really well, although the two camera men, (Joe & Don) were painfully slow on the shutter. Love you Amy! :-)

Amy & I outside the Post Office in Vanderbilt, MI. My Dad, Norm, was the PostMaster here for 30 years.

My Dad would never let me have a snowmobile when I was a kid growing up in Petoskey, MI. Therefore, this is my way to get even, by posing for this picture on Federal Property. LOL!

One of our favorite restaurants in Gaylord, MI. Gobblers serves "real turkey-bird turkey" 7 days a week, 364 days/year. (Closed on Thanksgiving) I highly recommend the Hot Turkey Sandwich and a Mountain Dew.

Snowmobile Trail #7 goes right past Gobblers and this is their sign at trailside.

Our friendly waitress, Nicole, does an amazing job on Saturdays for Gobblers.

Mmmmmm, Hot Turkey Sandwich at Gobblers. Sleepy-time is right around the corner...

Amy & I had a nice glass of Tawny Port after riding all day, dinner at Gobblers and before we all went down to the Michaywe clubhouse to use the hot tub and pool. I highly recommend you buy a place here in Michaywe. Call my real estate agent Bill Blaker

This is the restaurant at Michaywe in the clubhouse. "Inn The Woods" has awesome food, a huge wine selection and is totally smoke-free. This night's special was "Salmon Wellington!"

This is Jeff, the Restaurant Mgr. of Inn The Woods. He does a fantastic job and is never happy if you're not 100% satisfied. Behind Jeff is the 42" HD Flatscreen that we watch the Red Wings in a smoke-free environment.
