Burt Lake, July 2012

Mid-July we headed north where the lakes are gorgeous and the company delightful!  Mark's Aunt Linda and Uncle Carl invited us to stay with them on Lake Burt in Brutus, Michigan.  How ironic for a name? The area had to have been settled by a buckeye with a sense of humor!  Brutus is located ~400 miles north of Columbus and 20 miles south of Mackinaw Bridge.  The long trip is worth the relaxation and water enjoyment.  Uncle Carl escorted us around the lake and through a small stream section that connected to another large lake.  Their dog, Mackinaw, leaped off the boat attempting to swim with a family of ducks.  Trying to get a 80# dog out of the lake and onto the boat was no small feat.  Thinking this large golden retriever could play with momma duck and her itty bitty ducklings proved humorous!
