It was especially wonderful for me, as I know that my Scottish ancestors came to settle in Bruce County Ontario. Before the show I had no idea where it was or how very beautiful, I hope that someday I can visit.
Thank you,
Sincerely, Marianne Cline |

It was my first time watching the show and I thought it was very well done and interesting. I was excited to see all the great things you can do in the winter in Michigan. I would love to take my family Up North for a nice weekend and take advantage of some of these activities you had on your show. |

The show has been airing at 8am on Saturday morning for years on Detroit56 PBS. When I turned it on a different show was on. Was disappointed as I get up at 7:45 on Saturdays, start coffee and watch the show. Will look forward to watching future shows as I plan trips to some of the destinations and discuss with others that also watch the show.

It was great ! I feel badly that I didn't know about your show before today. But I will "make up for lost time", as our host stated about canoeing the Au Sable, and tune often! Wonderful job of showing off one of Michigan's lovely jewels. Thanks. |

Hello Tom
I contacted you a few days ago about not being able to watch your show lately. I watch PBS 27 out of the Traverse city/Cadillac area and your show has not been hardly on at all. Please enlighten me.
Thank you
Jim Stewart
Hi Jim,
I have talked to program director Linda Dielman and was told the station wanted to show more of their local programming and in the process accidentally took us off the air. According to Linda we will be back on the air in March except when we are pe-empted for their pledge drive. I will e-mail you as soon as I get the program schedule with our run dates. I appreciate your concern.
Sincerely

This was the first time that we had watched your program and were very impressed. We had no idea that Oscoda offered such beautiful, scenic hiking trails. Surely, we will be visiting this area in the summer. We look forward to watching your progam again. Thank you. |

A lot of stations have changed our times for this year to help introduce a
new audience to what we do. TV 56 has moved us to 12:30 on Saturdays. You
can find a complete list of all our stations and times at

I just love your shows. I watch them on WIPB, Muncie IN. I wish you were on WFYI, Indianapolis IN. I am originally from Waukesha WI but have lived in Indiana for the last 35 years. I love the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!! Your programs are wonderful to watch. I get "home sick".

My husband and I loved this show. The waterfall tour will be perfect for us and a couple of our friends. The four of us enjoy exactly this type of thing -- seeing beautiful sights and doing a bit of hiking. I can't wait to get the waterfall tour guide so I can begin planning our tour for this summer. |

I always enjoy your show, basically, because it is all about the great state of Michigan. I have to say, even though I have get to visit the western states of the union, but I really think we have a state with some of the most lovely attractions. I watch other shows, but I really enjoy your focus on michigan and nearby coastal shores of Ontario. Todays show is one of my favorite locations. Last year, you did a show on Oscoda and surrounding area. WIthin two weeks, my wife and I ventured to the same area and visited many of the same sites you visited on your show. It really gives us good ideas for a short day or two visit. Keep up the good work and please continue with places to visit in our great state of Michigan. Sincerely, JR Lomerson |

My father had a cabin in the Mio area and my sister and brother and I used to canoe down the AuSable River every summer. Dad has since sold the cabiin and it's been a couple years since we all went up to the area. Your show brought back wonderful memories for me and I had a feeling of joy wash over me when I watched your show. I'd like to see more. Thank you so very much. |

Hello, This weeks show was awesome! Great camera work. I didn't realize that the show moved from its 8am slot. I'm glad its not off the air! Since I missed for first 10 minutes, I'm looking forward to the DVD! FYI, my family and I travel to our Oscoda a few times a year to do some canoeing down the Ausable, fishing on the river and Lake Huron, siteseeing in town and Tawas City, etc. A few years ago, my grandfather/I caught a 14.5 pund brown trout, which I had mounted by Captain John Hook. We're familiar with the more popular attractions like: Bunyan Town, Wellmans, Lumberman's Monument, etc. Our favorite restaurant is Taits Bill of Fare. You should try eating there. All of their meals, especially the black bean soup (Millenium) and ribs are dynamite! |

I found it both entertaining and informative. I recently bought a small kayak and wondered if it was big enough to take on the Au Sable. You answered that question for me (it is)! I was unaware of the backpacking opportunities in Oscoda. I will definitely have to plan a trip to the Au Sable. |

The show was very well done; I enjoyed the production values and all the interesting material you covered. And the scenes from the swimmin' hole were great fun-especially in late February. It really made me want to plan a trip up there this summer. Thanks! |
