Paul and Ken. At the boat landing by the remains of Durant’s Castle. Durant was, like Mason, a major landowner. Mason held more land and it is his name the Tract we walk bares.

Since we could not go to Wheatland Music Festival due to its cancellation Paul came up with the idea of doing a car camping trip someplace else. He invited me (and I invited a friend who could drive us there) to join his family at the Canoe Harbor State Forest Campground. This campground sits on the bank on the Au Sable River (South Branch) not too far from Grayling, Michigan. While I suppose I have driven through Grayling this is an area I know virtually nothing about. Certainly the first time I’ve ever camped here. For that alone I am very thankful Paul invited me along. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into our relaxing weekend at this uncrowded campground along what is generally considered one of the prettier rivers in Michigan whether you are an avid fisherman or not.
In the video I make a consistent mistake referring to the west branch of the River. I note that I think that is wrong but I never did try to correct it. We are definitely on the south branch.Mason would buy Durant’s land. Mason bequeathed the land to the State to be kept as a permanent game reserve.1
