This photograph of Grand Lake, dated October 6, 1908, is particularly noteworthy in light of the Metz Fire, which occurred just nine days later on October 15, 1908. The exact vantage point of this image remains unknown. The first fire towers, constructed by the Michigan Department of Conservation during the 1920s, played a crucial role in detecting forest fires. Notably, Eli Gilmet manned the Presque Isle Township fire tower from 1927 to 1939, vigilantly scanning the horizon for signs of smoke from his elevated post. Perhaps, the fire tower existed prior to Eli's tenure.

Notably, the reduced friction on iced roads enabled a single team of horses to pull substantial weights, sparking intense competition among loggers to create record-breaking 'brag loads' and earn recognition. The meticulous documentation on this vintage Alpena logging card reveals a horse weight of 2900 lbs., a log weight of 26,688 lbs., and 6 cords of wood.

Presque Isle County is home to a portion of Michigan's sole free-roaming elk herd, consisting of approximately 1,150 animals across northeastern Michigan. Although the core range is situated slightly west, elk frequently venture into Presque Isle County, with regular sightings reported by motorists along M-33 between Atlanta and Onaway, particularly near the Four Mile Road intersection. Notably, a free-roaming elk, affectionately known as"Roger" wandered out of the dense woods and spent time in Rogers City. He liked city life so well he didn't want to leave. Unfortunately, the DNA euthanized him as apparently, they thought he would become a problem.

Memorial Day is a poignant reminder to honor and pay tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Yesterday, a special event was held at the Presque Isle Township Cemetery to commemorate this significant day. The veterans who attended the event were a testament to the spirit of patriotism and dedication that defines our country. A huge thank you to Vickie Fields for organizing a wonderful event that included soul-stirring music and a moving rendition of taps. The weather even cooperated, warming up just in time for the event, making it a truly unforgettable experience. It was a beautiful way to come together as a community to remember and celebrate the lives of those who gave their all for our freedom. 💕🇺🇸

May (Eddy) Chapin (1883-1937), daughter of Newell and Marianna Eddy, later owners of the original Grand Lake Hunting & Fishing Club, was a renowned horticulturist and exhibitor of flowers, as well as a member of the Bay City Garden Club. Her brother, Newell Avery Eddy Jr, built the historic Presque Isle Lodge. Tragically, she passed away at the family's summer residence during her Labor Day holiday visit.

The 1935 advertisement uncovered by Paul Fournier featured this outdoor lounge. Notably, Newell Avery Eddy Jr, the builder of the Presque Isle Lodge, passed away in 1940. The advertisement touted this venue as the sole outdoor Beer Garden in the state, offering patrons the unique experience of enjoying beverages beneath the picturesque white birches overlooking Grand Lake. During the afternoon, guests could listen to live ball games, while evening entertainment featured campfires, music, and beer. A restoration project at the Lodge would be a remarkable endeavor.
