Tawas Bay - Cape Cod of the Midwest
When I heard that Tawas Bay on Lake Huron is considered one of the best sailing areas in the United States, I had to include it in my vacation planning. And, I have to say, I certainly wasn't disappointed.
If you're not familiar with Tawas Bay, you're certainly missing out on one of America's treasures, one that will certainly make the perfect family vacation. Tawas Bay (considered by many to be the "Cape cod of the Midwest") is located on Lake Huron in Northeast Michigan, just a three-hour drive from the Detroit area.
The winds and protected waters are what make Tawas Bay so good for sailing. A limestone reef was built in Tawas Bay in 1987, which helped make it one of the finest fishing areas as well. I went for the sailing, but, oddly enough, ended up having a great time fishing. It was my first time and I have to admit, I wasn't half bad. I actually caught something. Well, to be honest, my pole caught something. When I felt a fish on the line I quickly gave it to my friend to take over. I'm told I caught a perch.
Fish are quite plentiful in Tawas Bay. You'll find perch, walleye (a really mean-looking fish if you ask me), brown trout, lake trout, northern pike, bass, coho and Chinook salmon.
Tawas Bay is also home to Tawas Point State Park, which features campsites with electric hookups, modern toilets and showers. In short, my kind of camping. There's a playground for the kids, and areas where metal detecting is allowed.
While planning a vacation to Tawas, make sure you make time for the Tawas Point Lighthouse, built in 1876. The Tawas Point Lighthouse is open for tours on the weekends, Memorial Day through Labor Day. If you visit the lighthouse, do make sure you take the tour, which allows you to walk to the top of the tower for an incredible view of Tawas Point. Standing 70 feet above Lake Huron, the view from the lighthouse tower will take your breath away.
If you have kids, you might want to plan your vacation to Tawas Bay for the second weekend of June, during the Tawas Point Celebration Days. Many children's activities are planned during this time, as well as demonstrations of black-smithing, wood carving and weaving, as well as guided hikes and a fishing derby.
My vacation to Tawas Bay is certainly one I'll take again. Before planning your next Lake Huron family vacation, take a look at Tawas Bay, the "Cape Cod of the Midwest."

my bay tree leaves have turned brown and dry why?
There could be several reasons for leaves going brown and dry-
Ironically it can be because of poor drainage- is the tree in wet soil all day? It depends on its size, but it should have good drainage at the bottom i.e. gravel below the soil- otherwise roots can rot if they are too wet. You can tell if the soil/compost its in is black and waterlogged- never leave the plant in a tray of water all day long, water it when the soil is dry.
Otherwise it could be a problem with the nutrient content of the soil. Have you tried repotting it in some general purpose compost? This might be worth a try...
If none of those work then it could be a viral or bacterial disease which is far harder to get rid of- most of these diseases usually have some other tell tale characteristic like black spots on the leaves or something similar... If this is the case the only way to treat the plant is by cutting away all the infected areas and hoping that it will perk up again.
There's one more thing- it could be a pest- characterised by white or grey bugs- big or small in on or under the leaves, or it could be white what looks like cotton thread over parts of the plant. If any of these things are present then a good spray (available from most garden centres) is Provados or any houseplant spray should do.
Hope this was useful and your bay tree survives... they can be difficult sometimes!
