Thanks for taking us on your hike of Power Island. My old office was on the bay in Traverse. I looked at this island for 18 years and always wanted to see it.

Beautiful place, thanks for showing. Being from Michigan I love all the history you provide.

[@RestlessViking]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@michaelulrich7008]

Never knew these islands were there thanks for covering the bay so we could see it. Cool. We lived in Frankfort MI for 12 yers and went to Traverse City all the time.

[@stephenrrose]

Holy crap! That's an Icon A5 amphibious plane! I've done exactly what he's doing (virtually) so many times now, just wishing I had one of those.

[@MilitaryMarvel1939]

Thanks for all the content. I look forward to each video and save them for Fridays, enjoying them with a glass of whiskey.

[@RestlessViking]

Getting old isn’t for wimps. I can’t tent camp anymore, either. Back just won’t take it. I love that you Geocache! I opened my Geocaching account in 2003. It’s been a while since Horsewomann and Team Hamster (all Ham radio operators) went out for some finds.

[@billhazard4946]

Thought i knew a lot about my state till started watching your channel Viking,keep up the great work!! Biggest problem never spent much time on that side of state, thanks again Chuck, stay safe👍👍

[@rayvandenberg4574]

history's greatest president (my opinion!) Theodore Roosevelt went to the island ! Thoroughly enjoy hearing the great, almost unknown/forgotten history facts.

[@Metanis]

In the 1960s I lived there in Traverse City. We did a lot of trolling for lake trout around that island. Saw some big fish, didn't catch many though!

[@willgreen2729]

It’s so pretty up there

[@jimviewig5701]

Thanks for sharing! Such a cool place!

[@daleritchie5685]

Thank you for your great videos all places I would love to go on my age will not allow it thank you for doing that for me

[@RestlessViking]

You're welcome!

[@agp9844]

one of my favorite places ever

[@RustyorBroken]

So much for the posted signs and caution tape. 🤣 You look surprisingly comfortable (and natural) wearing a skirt.

[@RestlessViking]

You couldn't even see my legs. . . calm down there, skip. . .

[@nedkent5239]

Cool vid, It’s a shame a group or someone hasn’t done basic trail maintenance… Would love to visit it.

[@RestlessViking]

The good news is, they are back at maintenance. The trails weren’t maintained at the time because the campground was closed (due to COVID), but I believe they are back open and doing maintenance again.

[@nedkent5239]

@@RestlessViking Sweet!

[@munsters2]

Those picnic tables were in pretty bad shape, too.

[@indivermike]

I have kayaked with you, so you will get no sympathy from me! lol. Another interesting and fun video

[@RestlessViking]

And what a kayak it was rolling seas, breakers, high winds and a bunch of miles.

[@troymilks7342]

Ho wa! Ten buck! That'll get ya a nice burger & fry at Slabtown Burgers! (I have a reproduction of a tourism map poster that shows the island labeled with the Ford logo)

[@RestlessViking]

Oh yah der. Ya could prolly get a jumbo ole style with dat too der.

[@munsters2]

Those "chipmunk poles" might be for black squirrels. At the state park in Traverse City the black squirrels are really vicious.

[@ScottSwan]

The poles are mainly for the raccoons.

[@driftwood4458]

Time to hammock camp.

[@RestlessViking]

Great Spot for that!
