On weekends, you may be lucky enough to find Kim Mann who loves recommending books and introducing visitors to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore where she works full time as an architect. She manages our online old book sales through ABE Books. She also volunteers with the Maritime Heritage Alliance, sailing on its tall ship "Madeline".
This book chronicles
Loreen Niewenhuis's latest adventure: a 1,000-mile walk along the shorelines of
all five Great Lakes. The book takes the reader on a ground-level walk through
the beauty, the history, and the tender ecology of Lakes Erie, Huron, Michigan,
Superior, and Ontario.
A 1,000-Mile Great Lakes Walk also
leads us on an exploration of self, as the author sets out on foot to explore a
region. Like her earlier book of a long trek around Lake Michigan, this
new grand hike on the shores of five magnificent bodies of freshwater explores
the natural and human history of the Great Lakes . . . and raises important
questions about preserving our wild places and protecting fragile ecosystems on
which we all depend.
