I’ve established Birch Run as my base of operations, heading toward Bay City one day, Port Huron another day. I’m playing it by ear with the leaves, and I’ll undoubtedly know more as the date approaches.

The Au Sable lookouts over the river can be stunning in autumn colors. Lumberman’s Monument is one of the best. Plus most of the tourists have gone home so it’s not too busy.
Have a good time on vacation.

That’s now on my itinerary. I also found a state park near Tawas City that has birdwatching opportunities.

To come into the bay. It’s fun to watch the huge flocks of them play in the waves. I’m 15 miles west of Tawas City. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆.
