Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Emma- I am looking at the Sault St. Marie site Dann sent as I am writing this. It mentions waterfalls, shipwrecks, and Northern lights. It sounds so beautiful. I shall keep your post as thoughts to where the gathering will be. Thank you for your input.

In fact northern Michigan is one of my favorite places in late summer. The weather is usually warm but not crazy hot and there are SO MANY fabulous outdoorsy things to see and do. So thats my take... But then again being that I'm FROM Michigan I may be biased. ;-) Emma > > Hi All- > > As most have probably noticed, the poll is closed for voting and the dates > for the 2008 Gathering are: > > August 1-3 > > Thank you to all who voted! > > Now to ask where?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Sandie, Sault St. Marie is definitely a lovely place! And not too far from Mackinaw Island which is a fantastic day trip!
