On a whim, we decided to drive to to the shore of Lake Michigan. Once we arrived there we met Jeff and asked him if he would like to be interviewed. At first he was reluctant because he wasn't sure if he would have a very special story to tell. After we reassured him that we were still interested, he agreed. Jeff told us about the area as well as about himself. Afterwards, we headed west through the beautiful country that surrounds the southern end of Lake Michigan.
