Hi Donovan,
I am located in the upper peninsula. A small town called Manistique on the shore of Lake Michigan. Love to get together and see some kayaks. Let me know if anything is happening.

Thanks to all for posting. I appreciate all info, suggestions, and hints!!

: Michigan area. We have an annual "Meet at the Beach" the first
: Saturday of June where you could try out several different kayaks.
