What great time we had on the trail in NE Michigan's forests near Hillman! Here at Thunder Bay Resort on a brisk February afternoon we slipped into the wilderness aboard horse draw sleighs for close encounters with the, some times elusive yet beautiful, majestic Michigan Elk.

It was definitely a "two blanket" ride to the rustic lodge where a gourmet meal awaiting us...plus plenty of "Michigan" wines flowed to one's hearts content!

This is show 1819 where we share with you this amazing journey with the entire Michigan Magazine crew that included my wife Rhonda and me, Dan and Judy Morgan, Cliff Parent and Lloyd Meir....Join us!...

Then on this show we stop by the studios of incredible portrait artist Jason Nuttall of West Branch.

We learn of Jason's inspiration and early years that culminates with him establishing a loyal following of art aficionados! ENJOY THIS WEEK'S SHOW!
