This past August, I took my family on a short vacation to Indian River, Michigan. We traveled there So that I could compete in the Top 'O Michigan marathon nationals powerboat races. The races have been an annual event there for nearly 60 years. We had a fantastic time! Everything there was beautiful, the town, the weather and the waterways! The racing event was a huge success! The town is very supportive of our racing organization and marathon racing event. I recall racing through the rivers and seeing nice folks lining the shores. Everyone was cheering and waving! It was great to see such great support. While in Indian River, My family and I visited the Cross in the Woods sanctuary. It was a spiritually touching experience that I would recommend to people of all faiths. Whenever my family experiences a wonderful place such as Michigan, I joke around with my wife that perhaps we should move there. And this trip was no exception. As we traveled through the state and took in all the natural beauty, I started in again: "I dunno sweetheart, maybe we should move up here!" I would say. I wonder if my wife knows how much I really would like to relocate our family Michigan? We all look forward to our next Michigan experience.

For 7 days of the national meet in Delton, Michigan a rocket was leaving the ground at an average of one every two minutes. Thousands of flights to determine the finalist in the International fly off to see who flies in Spain next year. 131 contestants, from 31 states, compete to determine the national winners in 4 age divisions. Saturday was packed full of events starting with the international fly offs to hundreds of high power sport flights to a visit from the Detroit Science Center's Dr. Freeze, to a telescope party and night flight rocket launch. This was the 49th annual nation meet for the event called NARAM-49. This is the 50th year of model rocketry. The last time the national meet was in Michigan was in 1980 when NARAM-22 was held in East Lansing Michigan. Randy Boadway from Comstock Park was the Contest Director. Randy has been involved in rocketry for more than 30 years of his life. He competes with the West Michigan section SMASH and has been President of that group for the last 2 years. SMASH consist of about 40 members from the South West side of Michigan. About half of the members are kids under 18. Randy Boadway says, there is no better hobby than rocketry to bring the family together for a day of outdoor fun. Be careful, rocketry can also be safe and educational. After all, this is rocket science. The national event forces many competitors how to be good at many types of unusual rockets. One of the events was Helicopter duration where the rocket goes up as a rocket and transforms into a helicopter when returning to the ground. Other events included spot landing where you need to land the rocket as close to the mark as possible. There were two glider events this year C Rocket Glide Duration and A Boost Glide Duration. Other events included B Egg Loft Altitude, B Streamer Duration, C Scale Altitude and Super Roc Altitude. For more information on rocketry go to www.nar.org. For more coverage on NARAM-49 go to www.naramlive.com. For information on next years event go to www.naram.org. For information about SMASH go to www.homestead.com/smashnar500.

I came back to MI after 10 years of being away. What a great time! I saw the Tigers play, was able to walk through Ford Field, went to all the casino's. Also enjoyed the Farmer's market, eating in Greek Town....and just sight seeing downtown. I was just amazed how inviting, and clean the city has become. It was just a all around great time. I'm already making plans to come back.
