- Sam and I made a day trip up to the mouth of the Two Hearted River to hunt some late season rocks. We found agates, omars, unakite, lots of oddball rocks, and even a few Yooperlites. It was a long day but fun the whole time.

Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

my favorite line from your episode today: "whatever it is, its a nice one of them"
You can't argue with that, can you?
7.5 hours one way. That is hardcore! Much respect.
When you drive four hours in one direction for a day trip, you need to make the most of it.
I'm always surprised by the fact you see so little of other people on such beautiful beaches
I'm kind of surprised too. We did see one guy way down the beach that day. He had been hunting since four in the morning using a spotlight. He deserved to get some good ones with that sort of effort.
Thanks for taking us to the beach! Sure hope someone finds those rocks before the snow covers them.
Or they'll still be there in the spring.
@@MichiganRocks true but then nobody gets their picture posted for finding them
@soul_adventurist soul they always take their own pictures of finding the rocks and send the pictures for Rob to share. It's been a thing for quite a while already. Someone will find them who watches Rob channel. They always do. It's been a thing on his channel for a while now.
@@wyomingadventures I know how it works, thanks. I haven’t missed one of Rob’s videos in over a year. One of my favorite things to do on Fridays.
@wyomingadventures They don't always send pictures in. I have had more found recently where I didn't receive a picture. At the beginning, people were pretty good about it. I'll keep doing it though.
@@soul_adventurist It's true that people might not send a picture in if it's spring, but if they were looking for the stash because they saw the video, they might still send one in. We'll just have to wait and see. It's exciting!
I’m sure somebody already commented on it but the one Sam found is 100% a Skip an Atom LSA! Good find! 8:28
One other person did. I need to get better at recognizing those. Thanks for helping me out!
Thanks for the trip to the UP! I travel virtually with you and love the trips up north.
The trips to the north are the best.
I love seeing Lake Superior while you rock hunt! Beautiful finds!
Lake Superior is awesome.
@@MichiganRocks I miss her dearly
You guys aways find some of the neatest rocks. Can’t wait to see some of them tumbled. Nice to see Sam again. Thanks for taking us along !
I took very few home from this trip. Sam needed more rocks to tumble, so he took a few more.
Love....Love....LOVE your videos like this. Thank you!
You're welcome!
That's some rockhounding dedication!!
We met a guy on the beach who had camped the previous night in a tent, got to the beach by 4:00 am to search for fossils with a spotlight. That's dedication. We slept in our own beds, drove four hours and got to the beach by 9:00 am. Slackers.
Burrrrrr another beautiful day in Paradise…
Sending love and light to Everyone…
Happy to drop by…🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️🎄🎄
That was a gorgeous day.
@@MichiganRocks
Everyday is wonderful here in Michigan inside or out …
The best way to hunt for agates when the sun is low angle, you walk torwards the sun. C'mon Rob everyone thats a rockhound knows that! 😉
Great finds as always!
I do know that, but it wasn't working that day. I was trying to use that technique by walking in the water and looking to my left, toward the sun.
@MichiganRocks ok sounds good, glad you know the technique. In oregon we have really translucent/clear agates so they glow like a piece of glass in the sun 🌞 💎
Sam is amazing at finding agates. You guy's found a variety of cool rocks. Like seeing younger people getting into the rock hobby. Sam has gotten very knowledgeable about rocks. 😊
Sam is really smart and loves to learn. I'm not surprised at what he knows after a few years of doing this.
Great variety of rocks! I can't wait to see the tumble results. You should do an episode of Sam's tumbles too.
I might. He has done a couple Rocks in a Box episodes in the past.
Another great video! I want to thank you again for teaching me how to put a sheen on my larger Petosky stones w/ the sandpaper, they look so cool. Happy Holidays, guys!
You're welcome, I'm glad I could help!
A majority of the rocks you found were rounded and somewhat smooth, like they've been in stage one for a bit. If you think about it, you guys were rock hunting in God's tumbler. 🙂
I've thought that lots of times. God has a much more beautiful tumbler than I do. Bigger too.
Great hunt guys! Too many good finds to pick a favorite!!
Don't stress over picking a favorite. Sam and I don't do that, except for choosing our favorite agate of the day.
I can't wait to find some of the rock stashes you hide! thank you for sharing some of your adventures and knowledge my friend ✌🤓
I hope you do!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound: Seasons Greetings from DeWitt, Michigan, U.S.A. Looks like you two gentlemen had a lovely, clear, crisp morning rock hunt. Those sure are beautiful beaches! Rocks o' plenty!!
It was clear for most of the day, just beautiful.
Please return to this location!!!! Beautiful!!
I've done quite a few videos here in the past. I'll be back.
With this many gems the hunt will go on forever. Well Almost.
I love that you do the rock stashing for us, LOL. That porphyritic stone is quite common on the Yellowstone River in Montana. I know you recently went there, and hopefully you found some.
I don't remember if I found anything like that or not. I think maybe I did, now that you mention it. Thanks for the reminder!
Nice hunt, what a beautiful shoreline!
Not to mention a beautiful day.
@@MichiganRocks This is what happens after I watch a Video of yours, I want to go rock hunting really bad!!! Really Bad!!! Heading to Hermantown a week from this weekend to be with 2 of my Grandsons, (Karl and Kari(daughter) also!!). She will think it's too cold to go rock hunting! 🤨 Hopefully I will be able to change her mind!! She always finds more rocks than I !!! Is it because we can't see that good anymore!! You said Sam was ahead of you in finding rocks!! I hope you and Nancy are having a Nice Week!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️
@@kimfrommn7162 Good luck on that rock hunt. Don't forget the glasses!
@@MichiganRocks Don't forget my glasses!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You are Good!!!!
You two make a great team for finding some amazing rocks. I hope you make a video of the rock's tumbled. As always thank you for sharing your finds.
I will show my tumbled rocks and sometimes I show Sam's.
@@MichiganRocks can't wait to see them.
Cool finds! Wonderful day at the beach!
Great video! Thanks for posting and Go Blue!!!
Go blue!
What fun finding rocks, need to find more agates.
I always need to find more agates. Those things really know how to hide.
@@MichiganRocks 🤨😂😂😂😂😂😂
We’ve all been there, when you’re enjoying the outing, the return journey doesn’t seem to register. Thanks for taking us along. Some very cool rocks as always.
It was on my mind. Sam always wants to go just a little farther.
Daaang! What a great hunt! 👏👏👏A lot of those magates sure looked like agates to me! Kudos to you for keeping Sam’s math skills sharp! 🧮 😂 He’s such a sweet kid. Hope he shares his next tumbled batch with us!👍
Sam's math skills are probably better than mine at this point. He's in his second year of calculus and it's been over thirty years since I did any calculus.
@@MichiganRocks Good for Sam! And same here, Rob - I couldn’t find a derivative even if it was right in front of me! 🤓
I gotta move up north. Kzoo ain’t cutting it. Enough is enough 😤
No stones like that are available at the aquarium stores . I can only imagine how beautiful my fish tank could be , if I went to this beach. Or my rocks collection , or both ! You have found very nice rocks . ❤ Great catch , guys !
They'd probably look a lot better than those little fake blue things.
I saw Sams boot at 17:17 and was thinking "what the heck is that" Lol
It's a boot!
If you'd been hiking here in south central Oregon the sun would have already set at 4:30. The skinny bridge you crossed must have been well marked to find in the dark. I'm glad you had a happy, yet spooky, ending to a great day of rockhounding. I like the jelly bean yooperlite that Sam found, as well as all the other great agates and UPRs. (Unidentified Pretty Rocks) Thanks for a great video!
Sam always wants to keep walking away from the Jeep longer than I do. I worry about finding my way home. In this case, though, there's a river, so it's pretty hard to miss. The mouth of the river is a bit past the bridge, but there's a campground there too, so there were a few lights from campers. We overshot it by a few hundred feet, but then realized our error and found it pretty quickly.
Very cool video can’t wait to come out there looks beautiful
A Professional Tumblers Tip
HI, Rob just a mention?
When tumbling stone, its best to tumble stone with natural spring mineral water
As tap water has Chlorine in the water that would bleach the stone specially over long time through sycles.
I mention this as a point of professional reference further it is best to allow the stone also to settle in hot spring mineral water to agitate the stone surface this speeds the first process up helping remove the first layers of tumbling,hot water agitates the surface layers .
Another point of reference preping the stone before agitating in hot water or tumbling,
Debur stones and sand and prep before hot water agitation then tumble the varied sycles.
Hope this helps make better rocks good luck.
I'm going to stick with tap water. I have had no issues of tap water ever beaching my rocks. They actually come out darker than they started because the little fractures on the outside are removed and also the surface of the rock that has been bleached by the sun is removed. If mineral water works better for you though, that's great.
Tap water can NOT bleach your rocks. Conspiracy nuts cropping up everywhere. 😢
Nice video Rob and Sam! I filmed one today... December 7th...still no snow or ice. Im wanting to get back to Vermilion where the agates are! Thanks for the nice video guys!
It's hard to believe you're still hunting this late. I think that might have been my last trip up there this year. I'd like to get out on a beach closer to home between Christmas and the new year when my son in law is here.
I would have to bring them ALL home. And then, where would I put them??? Thanks for letting us vicarious add to our own collections, through your expeditions!
That's exactly why I don't bring more home.
Love the beach there, always lots of rocks. We were there on the 2nd and 3rd of December and found some keepers. We also fly into the airstrip there making it only a couple of hours from our home near Grand Rapids.
That's the way to do it. Here I am, driving my Jeep up there like a cave man or something!
Love your videos, keep em coming.@@MichiganRocks
That gneiss joke killed me💀
Hope we get to see Sam's favosites once it's polished up!
Maybe. Sometimes he does a Rocks in a Box episode with his tumbles.
OH! I forgot! OHIO STATE WON!!!! I don't care, but it's fun to pick on you with it. Sam, I love the red stripe one you found. Oh, forgot something else. I managed to score a scoop for the water. They actually sell it as an ice scoop for ice fishing. It's extendable and will work though it's a bit larger than I'd like, it beats bending with my back.
Sam, can we get a slo-mo close up of the green one you found with the yellow cream darts? It looked stunning from what I could see.
Ohio State won a lot of games this year, but not the one against Michigan.
I see a lot of people using ice fishing skimmers, but I haven't seen one come with a long handle. I think most people attach the short handle to something longer. That should work well for you.
@@MichiganRocks Since I know zero about football, I was going on the little bit I saw online and swore it said MI about 2-3 weeks ago. Don't worry, we will. It is a bummer about the length, but I couldn't be picky when it comes to free. It's not like I get to go out where there are many cool rocks often. I could Frankenmonster my various pieces I have together and come up with something. It will work if I am sitting though!
Last time I was at Two Hearted I wasn't looking for rocks, but fishing; phenomenal river for that!
4:10 Dr Nat asked the same thing, is it a conglomerate or porphyritic? Beautiful Omar at 13:45!
I felt like I should know that one. I feel better knowing that Nat was stumped too. Fun rock, whatever it was.
What a beautiful beach. Wha. That one agate Sam found, looked like a tooth! Goodness...he IS an Agate Magnet. Wow! WTG Sam!
Sam has an eye for agates, that's for sure.
He is good!!!@@MichiganRocks
That was a great rock hunt. I realize you cant bring all the pretty rocks home, but when I hear you toss them back in the water I think nnooooooo😂
I have a surplus of rocks in my basement from my trip out west this spring. I need to get those tumbled before I add to the problem too much.
I understand haha
Nice finds!!! 🤘
That is a wonderful green rock for us Spartan fans Sir! lol I would never presume to tell you what to do, but I would kindly request a video of some green and white rocks tumbled ????? hahaha (Still love what you do with these videos and have not missed a single one; I watch them with my two boys who ask every week when your videos are coming out!) Go Green
I don't plan to do a green and white batch, but I have plenty of unakite and epidote in the tumblers right now, so you can look forward to that.
Love from India ❤
I don't get many comments from India. There are a lot of viewers from India, but they stay pretty quiet. Thanks for speaking up.
In the next few years, I want to make a trip to the United States to collect rocks. If I get the chance, I'd like to visit Lake Michigan and bring you some beautiful green rocks from Quebec.
I actually live by Lake Huron, not Lake Michigan. What kind of green rocks do you find there?
@@MichiganRocks oh ok! 😅 I'll probably pass by Detroit. Then Lake Huron's not so far. I found a lot of serpentine.
I wish I lived up in Michigan. The Omars would make awesome for air plants.
Do air plants need a little pool of water? I have a miniature orchid that I believe is an air plant. It's in a tiny pot and only takes a very small amount of water.
@@MichiganRocks they get moisture from the air
Beach combing at it's finest no wonder you guys are skinny, walk seven hours never see you eat and find a lot of cool stuff. Thanks for the trek have a great weekend.
You must have skipped the part of the video where we sat down and ate.
@@MichiganRocks I watched the entire thing but I was multi tasking at the same time. It is totally possible I missed it.
What a fun video guys. It is amazing how time flies when your having fun, but made for a long walk back. At least you took advantage of it an got to yooperlite hunt. Thanks for sharing.
It took us about two hours to walk back, I think. Not too bad.
@MichiganRocks Wow you made good time on the way back!
@@firechicken455adventures We kept moving. I used my phone to measure the distance on the way back. We had only walked four miles.
@5:40 looks just like a Charlevoix stone! :)
I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Love the unikyte
Me too.
Hey Rob and Sam. Nice agates
Hi Robby!
@@MichiganRocks I was told the chert nodules form in the hollows of ancient fossilized sponge and erode out. Not sure how true that is but if so, it might explains all the odd shapes.
@@robbybobby6466 I have not heard that, I just know it forms in limestone. Since limestone is often full of fossils, the theory you heard makes at least some sense. However, I occasionally find smaller fossils in chert, so at least some of it must form a different way.
@@MichiganRocks Some sponges produce "spicules" that are composed of silica. When these organisms die, their silica skeletons fall to the bottom, dissolve, recrystallize, and might become part of a chert nodule is what I think I meant to say. Sorry for the confusion.
👍👍👍 Nice!!!
Looking forward to hunting agates on Lake Superior! Thanks for sharing! Love the stone stash!
I'm looking forward to next year already. Sam is taking college classes now, so school gets out about a month earlier next spring. That should improve our hunting. We normally don't go up there camping until mid June.
I am wondering here I am sitting, if you are picking up the same rocks sometimes, could be, right? Nice picture of Sams Agat, and many other lovely rocks too. Nice trip
I suppose it's possible, but not likely. When it gets rough on Lake Superior, those rocks get moved around a lot.
You could do a Big Ten color series. The cream and crimson rock would be IU.
I'm a math teacher and I can't even keep track of how many teams are in the Big Ten. I find that name mathematically offensive.
I often bring home what I think is just chalcedony, only to find faint banding when I clean it up and look closer 😄 So I always keep that stuff.
I'd love to be surprised by that one.
I am experiencing some major envy, except for that 30 degree stuff!!
It was sunny for most of the day, so once it warmed up a little, I spent the rest of the day without gloves. It was a really nice day, not too cold at all. Plus, no bugs.
8:30 - that looks like a skip-an-atom agate.
I didn't think of that on the beach, but the thought crossed my mind when I was editing. I'm not great at recognizing them yet.
Awesome video! You and Sam make a great rock hounding team! 😊
Yes, I drive Sam to the rocks and he finds them!
@@MichiganRocks LOL! Yeah, he's pretty good at finding them, but then, so are you! 😊
For me, I just pick up any rock that looks good, But it's a good vid though 💯
That's exactly what I do.
I have yet to find a yooperlite at night, and you're finding the I the daylight !
I'm awesome, huh?
@@MichiganRocks Oh, great rock master, I'm not worthy..🤣 Yes, Dear Rob, you are awesome.
@@laurieowen8696 Ha ha!
That coral is beautiful!
I wish that color would stay, but I think it's iron staining.
Oh how I wish I lived near the lakes!
Wow!! Wish i could find awesome rocks like that where I live. Nice finds. Thanks for the video. 😊
You're welcome, Stacy.
By the way Rob, thank you for sharing to buy grit from the Rock Shed. I've been buying products from them and they are very well priced and good customer service. 😊
@@staceysakkinen1270 Yep, that's why I recommend them. Kingsley North is another good place.
5.50 AWESOME coral
I'm interested to see how that one does in the tumbler.
Nice yooperlite Rob!
I left it there for you, Jane.
🙋♀️❤️. Has anybody ever found tour stone stashes? Fun episode! Thanks!
Yes, several of them have been found and reported. Others are found, but not reported. I show exactly where they are, so it's not hard to find them. It's just a matter of getting there before anyone else does. If you look in the "Community" tab, you'll see some pictures of people who have found them.
22:01 hmm, looks like a cough drop to me.. lol 😂
Questions: so is the red agate what we would call carnelian? What beach/area is this?
Carnelians are orange agates that don't necessarily have banding. This beach is at the Mouth of the Two Hearted River Campground.
São muito coloridas❤
Those fist few look like candy! Looks like fun!
I thought the exact same thing! They looked delicious! 🍬🍫
Very, very hard candy.
Nice hunt agates are always fun to find I liked that black and white conglomerate rock. I found one similar up there. Don’t know what it is though.
That one was actually a dark green and white. Cool looking rock.
@@MichiganRocks it looked black, but so was mine. I tumbled it turned out pretty good. I did cut it to get in the lot-o.
Столько красивых камней???
Look at all the colors there! Hope you and Sam enjoy your time up there. I wouldn't oppose a tiny care package haha I keep finding fossils in my driveway.
We always have a fun time up on Lake Superior. That's why we keep going back.
@@MichiganRocks yeah yeah yeahhhh :)
I need a pair of those gloves.
I have them listed in my Amazon storefront if you want to see exactly what I use.
😍😍😍
Thanks for the adventure beautiful rocks! I have a mystery rock found on the Ohio river, It's not metallic, But after final polishing it looks like shiny steel, Have you ever found one of these?
I don't think so, based on your description. Sounds like that was a fun surprise.
@@MichiganRocks I meant to say non Magnetic, It has very small pits I couldn't get them out during stage one, So I let it fly, Didn't start looking like a Chrome until after the last stage
@@miketufts9765 Hematite is only sometimes magnetic, while magnetite is always magnetic (I think). But neither looks like shiny steel after polishing. Hematite looks metallic, but not as shiny as you're describing.
Sorry Rob, I think Sam out did you! LOL!
He usually does. Sigh.
What part do beach rocks play in the bio-ecosystem of the Great Lakes? What will Great lakes beach rocks look like in 100 thousand years? Just how many Great lakes beach rocks are there? Do I need some of these rocks? I wonder. It's a big piece of chert.
There are plenty of rocks. I don't think the ones one the beach play much role in the bio-ecosystem. I say that because they move around a lot during storms. The ones out a little deeper don't move nearly as much, making them better for little critters to live on and under. I'm not a biologist, but that's my uneducated view of things.
Rob I have enjoyed watching your videos for years. Last summer I took my grandson to Michigan and first time hunting after dark for yooper lites. For Christmas I am getting him a good black light and I would love to put a couple of rocks with it. Wondering do you ever sell any of your rocks?
I only have a couple Yooperlites at home. I leave almost all of them on the beach since I don't really know what to do with them. They tumble pretty well and look cool under a UV light but otherwise, they're not very pretty rocks. The couple I do have are nice to show people who have never seen a Yooperlite, so I don't really want to get rid of those. Sorry I can't help you.
Thank you. We live in Missouri and always look forward to our next trip to Michigan.
Finding yooperlites in daylight, 😊 love the fossils and banded chert. . Time to bring some glasses for me.
I do have a question. Granted, it came a bit too late for my rock, but is there a way to protect a part of s rock to avoid it getting ground down? I had a piece of polychrome jasper with some amethyst crystals on the corner that sadly have already been ground away. Is there a way to prevent this from happening in the future without a lapidary table?
I can't speak from experience, but I saw someone else protect part of an agate with hot glue. It's in this video: ruclips.net/video/yLtHsmDaw9I/видео.htmlsi=-9l8ZiCjAnFu4nSl
We just moved to the Cheboygan area. What places close by do you suggest for rock hunting? Love your videos!
Pretty much anywhere up and down the shoreline north and south of you. A lot of people like Fisherman's Island State Park. I have not been impressed, but I haven't walked very far. I think the key is to walk way past the campground.
will the microns per million become grester as the grit breaks down? or whats going on there?
As grit breaks down, it becomes finer and finer. I took that to an extreme in this video: ruclips.net/video/hcRttq9bSrY/видео.html
What size tumbler for those bigger, racquetball sized stones?
Nice hunt. I love the spotted rock! Thanks.
A six or twelve pound barrel works well for those. You could put one larger stone in a three pound barrel, but it's better to use a big one.
Thank you so much. My three pounder got ruined and I thought I’d go bigger.@@MichiganRocks
@@savagesquirrel9828 Good plan.
I wonder if it would be possible to pay for the shipping for you to send most of the rocks you throw back into the water over here to alberta 😅 a trip to the Great Lakes is expensive.
Nope, it's not possible because those rocks are four hours away from me. It would be somewhat expensive for me to go back to get them.
@MichiganRocks hehe, I knew it would be unrealistic 😂 dont worry about it. But do you know of any raw rock and gem shops in Canada that ship that don't cost an arm and a leg?
@@leif901-5 Nope, I live in the U.S., so I always order from shops here.
Did you find what the rock was at the 9 minute mark? I have been collecting them :)
Nope, but I still like it. It's probably tumbled now. I just finished the last of the rocks from last summer. Now I need to take pictures of all of them and make a few videos showing them off.
@@MichiganRocks can’t wait! I love sparkly light pink rocks & been blessed to find some. I search for LS agates but end up taking home more imposters & quartz lol. Any recommendation for getting old cement off agates I’ve found along roads? They either have legit cement sandy hunks attached or are left with a hard white residue when the rocks are dry… thanks ☺️
@@stephsexoticpets You could try to soak them in acid. If it's cement, it will dissolve. The agate won't though. Vinegar would work too, but slower.
At 3:08 that looks similar to petrified wood, could it be?
No, but I see the resemblance. We don't have much pet. wood here in Michigan.
😂😊
I think you might have befriended Sam for those sharp young eyes!
Maybe, but he doesn't share those agates with me, so he's really just competition. Of course, having him along does make for better videos.
❤ 🪨🫡
Nice hunt! Does Sam ever hit you with any rocks when he tosses them at you?
Not yet. I always drive, so if he wants a ride home, he has to be careful.
@@MichiganRocks 😂
I'm going to visit a friend in Lansing after Christmas. Where's a good place to look for rocks on a daytrip?
I'm much more familiar with the beaches in the northern half of the lower peninsula and the upper peninsula. Michigan Rockhounds has a good map that might be able to help you. www.michiganrockhounds.com/map
@@MichiganRocks
Hi Rob
I clicked on the link you provided above and read the really nice article about you. What I have gleaned from watching your videos, the article seemed very accurate. As a fellow Michigander, I'm so proud of your blossoming success as a RUclips Content creator and wish you nothing but the very best in your future endeavors.
Most sincerely from
Dogbone🐢
@@SisterShirley Thanks! I'm glad to have you rooting for me!
@@MichiganRocks If you had to recommend just one place in the lower peninsula, where would you go?
@@ab.collage That depends a lot on what you're looking for. Rockport might be my answer. It's not the best beach ever, but there are some good rocks on the beach. But there's also the old quarry that's just full of fossils, trails all over, and sinkholes behind the quarry. But if you don't care about fossils, then that's not a great spot.
What were those little fish?
Minnows called "shiners". When they tip a little, the underbelly is almost metallic colored. They glint a little in the sun.
Cool rocks Rob & Sam. The one of ones Sam tossed to you about 13:40 looked like a buckeye, if I may say so. I find hunting morels it's best to keep your back to the sun. Don't know if it's the same for rock. I seem to remember you finding a white rock with an orange stripe, kind of like a clown stone. I tried to find it but couldn't.
If it looked like a buckeye, that's probably why we left it on the beach.
I didn't know that morel hunting tip. Thanks. When rock hunting, I don't like my shadow on the rocks, but I can still hunt with my back to the sun if I have to. With agate hunting, it can be an advantage to hunt walking into the sun. With the sun behind the rocks, sometimes the agates glow as the light passes through them. This works particularly well with the little tiny carnelians.
Это в Канаде ?
Нет, Мичиган, США. Хотя Канада находится прямо за озером.
It is 72 degrees here in Houston you poor cold Yankees. But we don't have any beach near as pretty as that one.
In Michigan We have fresh clean water …great people and plenty of green space …
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
BTW
michiganders are not Yankees ….lol
But when it's 72 here in Michigan, what's the temperature in Houston? When it gets cold here, we can always add more clothes. But when it gets hot, there are only so many clothes you can take off.

❤️❤️❤️ Indiana ..once lived on the outskirts of Fortville-East 113th Street great place to live …best kept secret of USA …miss it still…
I didn't know it got to 72 in Michigan. When it is 72 there it feels like oh, 113 in Houston.
