Grand Haven, MI --- Our Home

by Terry&Carol

We grew up near Fremont, MI in Reeman. After college I went to work in South Bend, IN at Bendix working on aircraft landing gear, wheels and brakes.

We decided to move back to Michigan. We had been considering moving to Muskegon. Since one of the fellows who worked with me was familiar with Muskegon, I asked him where a good place to live in Muskegon was. With a big smile, he said without hesitation, Grand Haven. Of course he had grown up in Grand Haven.

When we started to look around GH, it reminded us of Fremont near where we had grown up. It had a small town feel even though it was larger than Fremont.

Grand Haven

by Newter

I didn't grow up here for the majority of my life. However, I moved to Grand Haven about four years ago. I wanted a more laid back setting and to, sort of, distance myself from the town I work in (Grand Rapids). If you ever have the opportunity to visit Grand Haven, do so in the summer time, preferably between July and September. The beach, especially at the Grand Haven state park, usually produces thousands of good looking people, most of which, have an open mind for fun. The boats (Grand Haven is Coast Gaurd USA) that float through this neck of the woods aren't your typical bass boats. Most of the boats that run around Lake Michigan during the summer are more like two story houses on water (usually with a chef on board). Just to witness the wild amount of wealth in this area of Michigan during the summer months is amazing. From the cars to the boats to the clothes, to a four hundred dollar sweater with a "Grand Haven" logo printed on it (from one of the inexpensive gift stores in Grand Haven), we've got it all. I must admit, as a full time resident, the tourists get to be much. But it sure beats the winter, because anywhere between 1/2" to 12" of snow can drop in a night's notice. In the summer, bring your boat. In the winter, bring seven layers of clothes, a snowmobile & a good cell phone.

Rosy Mound Walk - Lake Michigan and Return

"Wind off the Lake"

"Fungi, life of all types takes hold"

"Skeletons"

Was this a tree that grew in the 'blow out' then died? or more likely, it existed even before the sand dune that is being blowen away. Even in death, there is a resurrection of sort. New life grows from the stable soils around the roots of this ancient.

"The Return - are you ready?"

"Heading home."
