One of my very favorite vacations was spent at Oscoda. The Au Sable is great for canoe travel. And the scenery is beautiful. I'm sure you can understand why I didn't want to come home.

Mother Goose- Are you Ratty's Mother Goose or are you Bonita the hiker Mother Goose?
I am indeed Ratty's Mother Goose. I didn't realize that you had another one. I guess I'll have to be more clear from now on.
