This Is Where I'm From

[Chief Longwind Of The North]

Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan is where I hail from. We are at the northern most spot where Lakes Superior, and Huron are joined together by the Sainte Mary's River. We are subjected to weather from the 16 points of the compass, as well as the lakes being large enough to create their own weather systems. 40 or so miles south of us is the Straights of Mackinaw which joins Lakes Huron, and Michigan.

Here are some pitctures of my home through different seasons, and some of the beautiful scenery of the area.

Seeeeeya; Chief Longwind of the North

Matsumoto's Shave Ice, note, it's not Shaved Ice

They've moved into a new, real nice, big AIR CONDITIONED building too.
That family has got to be worth some serious coin!
There's a line a mile long, always!
I like the Rainbow flavor with ice cream and azuki beans on the bottom!

WOW!
I've been to Pacific Grove many many times before, but seeing through the lens of what seems to be a drone is just drop dead beautiful!
Thank you Ross for posting that clip.

We're with you Ross!
That's a big reason why we left Hawaii!!!!

Here's a video of my beautiful home town. We now live just 10 miles inland.

Here's a video that I took back in 2018 when we were back home in Hawaii.

This out on the West side of Oahu, Ko'Olina, where Disney has their resort, GORGEOUS!!! Yeah, and the 4 lagoons out here ain't too shabby either.

When I lived in Pacific Grove, I slept in the top drawer of a dresser. I was 2 months old when we moved to San Angelo, TX.

Born and raised in SoCal...spent a couple of years in Washington and Montana, but always came back home to my roots. This was a spectacular snowfall on Thanksgiving Day 2019 here in the desert of SoCa - 2200 ft elevation. Have never seen this in 40 years of living here. Pictures taken from my front walkway....carefully, as I was afraid I would slip and fall. So beautiful for folks here who aren't used to it!

I recorded this video back in 2018
This is at the Outrigger Hotel's Kani Ka Pila Grill
Great bar, great food, great vib
There's no cover charge, just come as you are,
eat drink and me merry

… and those ladies sure did!



… this was their first round of cocktails!
They were really a lot of fun!

 

[taxlady]

Those ladies in the video looked like they had been rehearsing that together!

Taxy, they're a HALAU or hula dance troop from Kobe Japan.
They were in Honolulu for a competition.
There are halaus all over the world!
The artist, Mailani Makainai, was wonderful with them.
After their first round of cocktails, they just danced the night away.
It was fun to watch, but you see this sort of thing all over Hawaii, really,
if you know where to look

I have the same pic with the boards. Stayed at the Outrigger. Hung out at Dukes and other places while there. What amazed me most about Honolulu and especially Waikiki was the talent of the local musicians (that and sunsets every night!). Very talented and many bands there. I actually ran into one on Maui that I started following on YT.
I’ll see if I can dig up my board pic of that alley

Did you also get to see Henry Kapono?

We went this last trip home and I swear I took my own video, but I can't find it now, oh well, it's around somewhere.

Those surf boards are re-arranged for time to time, I thought that one shot was MONEY!!

Miss home …
