Michigan and Great Lakes Queers

Elijah · 04-17-2011, 09:40 AM

Good morning, there certainly must be more folks in the Great Lakes area than just Me (though it seems that way at times). So where are you? Don't be shy. *s

<--------------Northwest Indiana-Lake Michigan shoreline. I'll be honest: I've been married for 30+ years and have been single for a few years. I have my good days and my bad, but I just want to meet folks who I can learn from, discuss stuff with, practice skills with, who get me out there in real time. I am looking for cool people who I can enjoy hanging with, have a lil fun, boys night out,etc. Make new friends. If you're down this way, hit me up.

Welcome, popcorn. I can so relate to the place you are in. I hope you can find that. Thanks for being brave enough to be the first one to post!

Mazel Tov,

Welcome, lionpaw. The more, the merrier!

Elijah · 04-18-2011, 09:04 AM

There has to be more of us around?

Tell Me, what is your favorite Great Lakes attraction? I am partial to Mackinaw Island. Though the horse droppings are a bit much sometimes.

Presque Isle Park. 12 miles of bike, walking, and boating in a lovely Bay in the Great Lake of Erie. We even have Eagles!

Wryly · 04-18-2011, 01:21 PM

I go to the Windsor area to visit family.
When I'm there we usually just hang around the house and chill and do what needs to be done there. With gas the price it is I find I'm not doing as much driving as before. When I do have the time and money - like driving to visit friends in the county or drive to the little towns along the shore.

lionpaw · 04-18-2011, 03:59 PM

My wife and I love the beach and nature.....Presque Isle state park was beyond our wildest dreams.....We like the peace we find here and all the beauty that surrounds us and the wildlife...

Where my wife was born at you have to pay for the privilege to access a beach, but, me, I had access to water no matter where I was in Seattle.....There was Puget Sound, Strait of San Juan de Fuca.....

Elijah · 04-18-2011, 07:38 PM

Hi everyone. I will have to add Presque Isle to My to do list for this summer. Lived here most of My life and have never been and with these reviews, how can I not?

Good to see more folks coming out of the woodwork.

Yes, you should put that on your to do list...You will be pleasantly surprised and in awe of the wildlife that lives in the park...One night we saw a family of turkeys crossing the road leading into the park...My saw a turtle another time, and I missed it....I love turtles....

I was born in Detroit and spent most of my life in the beautiful State of MI. I still own a home in Jackson County and spend most of every summer there. I've been in Florida for almost ten years now, but would love to meet up with some of you during the summer. I usually get there about the 20th of June and stay for two months.

Let's get together yah yah yah!!!
Smooches,
Keri
