Day Two

During the 1860's Glen Haven was a stopping point for steamer ships to reload wood supplies on their trips from Chicago to Buffalo, New York. The ships burned between 100-300 cords of wood per trip. Glen Haven became a popular refueling stop when the Manitou Islands ran out of wood. They had used it all up.
Light drizzle with thick over cast clouds most of the day. Began to unload some of our painting gear.



Shopped for some good Michigan reads at the best little bookstore in the north, The Cottage Bookshop in Glen Arbor.The Cottage BookShop



Melanie did manage to do some small abstracts in gouache based on her experience of the day, like little poems.
