I used to live on M22 and in the area for many years. I miss it every day. Especially the Lk Michigan beaches. This brings back so many memories. There are so many offshoots you go do off M22 - Pierport, Watervale, Arcadia Bluffs, etc... Supposedly, Al Capone had a hideout in Arcadia.

At time 1:28:50 from M-22 North on the right is Matheson Road where the black pick-up turned right and 1.3 miles south is where I live... And at 1:30:41 on M-22 south to the right is Lee Mann Road with a T intersection with Matheson Road. My neighborhood. Great video of our County ringed by M-22 along Lake Michigan on the west side and Grand Traverse Bay on the east side.

Great video love it. I can tell my guests that they can save energy and climate change by just viewing your video. Great idea. Just a suggestion but it’s very hard to do since people will start passing you, how about leaving more Distance between you and the car in front for more panoramic view.

I think Pierce Stocking Drive , just north of Empire, deserves its own video &, at least, a mention in this one, since it offers some of the best views in Leelanau.

As a child from 1and 1/2 to 81/2. My family lived on the Lelanau peninsula at a spot in the road called Bingham . My brother owns the old family house there now. We all try to get there in the summer when we can . Lelanau county is one of my favorite places on earth.

I've driven this route in late July a few years back on a trip around Lake Michigan. The fall colors are fantastic and may even rival places like Vermont and New Hampshire. I also did a southbound trip on US 23 from Mackinaw City to Saginaw along Lake Huron coming back from the UP. Not as pretty as M-22, but an interesting ride. Saginaw has an interest National Wildlife Refuge that you can drive through and it is not to far from that crazy German town with the massive Christmas Decoration place. (The name escapes me!)

Visited a lot of this route on my RV trip in 1999. Unfortunately I didn't have the energy to climb the dunes but got a good photo of the lake across from it. Really liked the beach at Empire but didn't have time to try the water. Can't believe how light blue the water is up there, just like here in Pensacola, Florida! However, our coldest water temp is 60 in winter and gets up to low mid 80s in summer. Bet it's not that warm up there! LOL

People, skip the Dune climb and hike the Empire trail instead. The Dune Climb has many rescues very year because people can’t accurately perceive just how hard the climb is, especially in the heat. Stop at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore to get helpful brochures & info. I recommend buying the National Park pass, especially if you are a senior.

There are Whitetail Deer therefore there are ticks. I've not gotten any on myself while working the woods harvesting firewood and clearing invasive Autumn Olive, but we always check after time in our woods (we have 10 acres of managed woods on our 43 acre homestead). Be smart; be safe.
