Just went thru the detroit area
« on: Oct 18, 2006, 06:29 PM »
He Guys I just got back from Metro airport, went thru your area today. Took my wife down to Airport for a trip to see her mother in OK City. Went down I75 and came back up 127. That Kensington Lakes area always looks real interesting when I drive thru there. Was 427 miles round trip,  a little longer coming back. Well
See ya all later

Lived in Shawnee and Yukon for almost 3 years, worst years of my life.......Nice experience to live in another part of the country, but I found out Oklahoma wasn't "OK" for somebody used to a place like upstate NY....Esox

kensington is a nice area but it gets fished a little to hard..its an awsome place to bring the kids so they can swim play and watch the deer though.

Thanks for swingin' thru!  Kensington is a very nice area.  It's about the closest area to wet a line for some real action for me.  My son and I usually hit that lake a few times a year.  Nothing like what you've got in your backyard, though!

Don't go gettin any ideas about moving there.  You're a Houghton Lake kind of guy.  We got fish to catch.  I have come to the conclusion that I am an ice fisherman.  Think I went out about six times all Summer.  I fish more in a week-end in the Winter than I did all Summer.  Lookin forward to the Wintertime. 
I enjoy that perfect peace -- that peace beyond all understanding, which comes at it's maximum, only to the man who has given up golf.

Hey Mike, Just a thought, the next time your wife's gotta fly somewhere have her check going outa/into Bishop in Flint. Quite a few people I know try to get there flights in/out of Bishop. Lots smaller, easy access, not the crowds and BS you gotta go thru at Metro.

Hope to see you on the ice soon!

Yes it is! I'm over off of Ridge Road, between Grass Lake Rd and England Beach. No, I'm not on the lake, but we have an access!
