I came to know the Leelanau Peninsula as a pre-teen when my parents booked a cottage for a month on Little Traverse Lake. We were told that our summer vacation would be a real adventure because there would be no electricity, no indoor plumbing, a fireplace for heat, and kerosene lamps for light. My younger sister and I had gone to Girl Scout Camp, so we made “Caper Charts” for all the chores. Mom and Dad, parents of six young children, had a wonderful month’s vacation and so began our family’s love affair with Leelanau County.
My parents built a cottage on Little Traverse Lake, and 50 years later Dad and Mom are gone, and all the kids have grown up, some moving far away.
