What to pack

What May feels like

Cherry blossom runs through the orchards on Old Mission and Leelanau in the middle of the month; drive M-37 out to the lighthouse and stop wherever you feel like it. Morel hunters take to the woods around the same time and will tell you nothing useful about where they went.

Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
