Hey there, I'm out at the very tip of the Leelanau Peninsula at Leelanau State Park, the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, and right there behind me is the, the light. The lighthouse is right there with a red roof. And when I was a kid, we used to come out here. The Boy Scouts, local Boy Scout troop, had a cabin out here in the state park., and we used to come out here at night and play kick the can, and as the light would make its rotation, that's when a lot— that was the only time you could see the other contestants in the game of kick the can. But if you haven't been out to the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, you should make an appointment, whether it's on a cold winter day like today or in the summertime. It's a great place to visit, a lot of history here. And it's just a cool place to go for a walk and experience the outdoors. So Grand Traverse Lighthouse is at the very tip, about 8 miles north of Northport. They have some great, great history here. There's a great event that they have where they do a lobster dinner every summer. So Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum, thanks!
