Hicks lake, Sunrise lake, Rose lake and Center lake all north of Evart east of Tustin and Leroy. but those were not really northeren Michigan vacations it is where we lived.
when I was old enough to have a vacation it was snow mobileing in the UPPER.
I remember one August day in Houghton Lake. Went to the local Kmart and spotted a guy urinating on the building. Drove down 55 around the school and say some females flashing cars as they drove by. Decided to venture to the lake to take in all the breathtaking beauty that is northern Michigan. Joined the whole mass of humanity in the lake. Used condoms floating in the water, swimmers itch, empty beer cans in the water, garbage, people using the lake as their restroom, just the peacefulness I have come to love that is northern Michigan. The locals refer to this as Bud Bash. I can't wait till it warms up and I can swim in this wonderful lake. I saw more topless women than my favorite strip club on 8 Mile. I wish I could live in Houghton Lake permanately.

Can't you come up with at least one new story of how bad it is anywhere except Harper Woods? You've posted this same thing several times already, we all know how much you hate it. Is your life really so miserable that you have to spew your hatred toward an area on every single thread?

Thank you, 'moldman'. You said it with more class than I would have. I'd probably have gotten censored with the comment I'd like to make! Thinking positively doesn't seem to come easily to scolls.

So I attracted an annual party on the lake? I feel like Ludacris.

And this is a perfect example of your horrible attitude to come and ruin yet another thread. Please...on behalf of every one who frequents the Michigan thread...please just go away.
It's funny when I share a story of northern Michigan all the people who come out of the woodwork crying, yet you post that pic for me?

[SIZE=5]'Get this bash out of our town' [/SIZE]
This is just another letter as to why Bud Bash should be banished. As a home owner, I think it would be nice to replace "Bud Bash" with a nice family festival every year. Something that all can enjoy. We can have our families up here with us and spend money in the town.
As it is now, we don't even come up that weekend. We have to put away and lock up everything. Our neighbors put up temporary fencing to keep people off their property. We are not able to use our boats because of all the traffic out front.
I understand why people from other cities and towns love to come up here and party. But as a landowner it is no party. We pay our taxes and can't even enjoy our property. These party people can move Bud Bash out to the country or a park. Give us our lake back! It is more than just the music and drinking we are talking about. Limberlost and the owner of it just adds fuel to the fire. I think it's time to put the fire out. Let's bring back the families! We can spend money as well as the young kids, and spread it throughout the town not just a couple of bars.
Let's get together and get this "Bash" out of our town. They can go elsewhere and do what they do. Keep our town clean! s/Nancy Semak St. Johns
This is in response to the letter from Mr. Korbinski. In his letter he made it very clear that he thinks that "this is a resort area and not a retirement community." Well, I am a retired professional and I will not go into your store to buy anything again since you hold me in such a low regard. I would ask the other retired people of this community to do the same. We (the retired) are a large number in this area and we do bring in money that is spent here, we also give back to the community with countless hours volunteering for various organizations and we have a moral ethic that seems to be missing in some of the younger generation. The Bud Bash is not what this community needs. It brings people from all over to do what is obscene in public and litters our area with filth of all kinds. This kind of degradation is not for the good of the community and it smears the good name of Houghton Lake in the mire of filth that is left behind when those who went to it have left.
I ask all that feel the Bud Bash is a detriment to the society to go to your township officials and protest. This can be stopped. Many laws are broken when this is happening but many turn their heads thinking this community can not get by without it for financial reasons. The large congregations of boats are a hazard to navigation, and this could be stopped. Parking on the school grounds with alcohol in the open is against the law but it is allowed. Those cars parked there illegally should be towed. There are many times that those near the area have witnessed nudity, but no officer is there to stop it. The overtime of all the officers should be paid by the owner of the Limberlost, and not made a burden to this community. We of the community should stand up and say we don't want this filth in our town. s/Rose Cooper Prudenville
I actually enjoyed Bud Bash since I didn't have to clean the mess up. I just wouldn't dare go in that water anymore.
