Hi ,

I'm from ton, MI, about 20 miles southeast of Lansing, right

off of I-96. I work at Michigan State University. I've been to

Gladwin a few times. My friend has a cabin(it's really a house, but

you know how us Michigander's like to to call the second house that

are " up north " cabins) on a lake up there and also they have a farm

where they kept a few of there horses. The horses aren't there

anymore as one of them lives at my house and the others were sold

after her grandfather past away last year, but they visit the cabin

fairly often. It's very nice in Gladwin, I always have a good time

there. I like seeing all the Amish houses and buggies. There

aren't that many Amish in this area, more south towards Vermontville

and near the Indiana border.

How long have you been doing BFL? Have you had good results?
