I was there in the mid 80's for the oil and gas business. Steve, I recall a large fiberglass statue in town of a trout. They claimed be be a trout capital of the state or county, can't recall.

Every couple of weeks we drove into Traverse City for our grocery shopping, I believe a hour drive. Remember seeing a large ranch half way there with buffalo they raised. We moved there in the early summer I recall. I had to go to the old Ace hardware in town to get something once shorty after we moved there and saw the oddest tillers I've ever seen. They had several different make and models. Told that fella working there I've never seen such a thing and I was born and raised in the country. He said it's a snow blower.
