SEASONS

They say if you don't like the weather in Michigan, you can wait a few minutes for it to change. While unpredictable, the weather does give us seasons. All four of them. The seasons make it great for camping and water lovers in the summer, as well as, ice fishing and snowmobile riding in the winter.
