I was only able to catch the last 15 minutes of the show, but I loved every minute of it. I am originally from Michigan and our family frequented the Higgins Lake area in Mid to late 1950's early 60's. I miss Michigan sooo much and I try to catch all of your travel shows thoughout the state. Keep up the good work. It helps those of us who cannot make it back "home" often enough. It also keeps us upto date with growth and improvements. |

One of your best shows thus far! Keep up the great work. Did you ever consider a show in the lower part of the province of Onatario. I'm originally from there and my wife and I now travel back reguarly to enjoy the sailing and birding opportunities in southern ontario. If you'd like, I'd be happy to offer some ideas for your consideration. Best regards, Frank |

Timothy Coe - Grayling, MI
I tuned in late, caught just the last 15 minutes. I have dove at Tobermorey several times, years ago, and biked down the Bruce Pen. some years ago. Beautiful country. What I saws of the show was great. It appears there has been a lot of work done in the past few years. I think I would like to revisit the Bruce with my son and possibly his scout troop. |

#615 Manistique 4-5-08. I was impressed, I just retired 4-1-08 & this was the first time I saw Great Getaways, I pass through Manistique several times a year "on the road to Gwinn", now I have a reason for a prolonged stay in Manistique area. Thanks for producing such a great travel show.... |

Brian Baczkowski - Warren, MI
This week's show, Mystique of Manistique, was very interesting. I didn't realize that a family could have some much fun vacationing there. Interests that caputured my eye include: canoeing, hiking, site-seeing, etc. |

Mark Rudd - Laingsburg, MI
Great show! My wife and I hiked on the Bruce Peninsula this past summer but missed the garden tours. We'll take a trip over to the Grey/Bruce and see a few of the rural gardens. Thanks for letting us know about this nearby jewel of a place. |

Pamela Kaufmann - Ferndale, MI
It made me want to run, not walk, to my car and race over to Grey-Bruce Counties! :-) As a Canadian transplanted to Michigan, I still sometimes vacation in the Grey-Bruce area and have fond memories of summer vacations there growing up in southern Ontario. I truly enjoy and appreciate your programs each week on PBS. THANK YOU! As a newcomer to Michigan, you have educated me on beautiful places to see for great getaways in this state, as well as in Ontario. I'm amazed I didn't know about the garden tours until your program today! THANK YOU SO MUCH and keep up the great work. |

Allison Birndorf - Interlochen, MI
I really enjoyed the show. It was the first time I had seen Great Getaways. I liked how you showed us the nature and beauty of Michigan. The trail in Oscoda looked very peaceful and fun. I look forward to next week's show! |
4/26/2008
Stephanie Jowett - Frankfort, MI
Tom always has a great show. I find him entertaining because he's a true tourist, hes clumsy, eager to visit and learn about the area and finds joy in just being outdoors, which most of viewers share. I live on the western side of Michigan and have been curious about the eastern side. So the show was what i was looking for. If I am one of the first one hundred may i have the dvd? Either way I love the show. Thanks Stephanie |

D.F. - Alpena, MI
I enjoyed this show. One thing I liked was the part where you showed being outdoors on the water, you dont have to be quiet, just have fun, go with the flow. |
4/26/200
Carl Heldt - Memphis, MI
I thought it was very interesting and I want to plan a vacation to Oscoda. I have always wanted to try kayaking and this looks like it would be a great place to start. I apprecaite all of the good ideas on trips to take right here in Michigan. Thank you. |

Leo Bathe - Madison Heights, MI
It was a beautiful show. I love the up north scenery. I would love to fish the lake that Tom was fishing in. It was such a quiet place and the lake looked like a mirror. |
4/26/2008
Kendra Shillair - Bay City, MI
I found this show really interesting. I live in Bay City, and I didn't know that great outdoor adventure and fun was so close by. I will definately fit a trip to the AuSable river into my summer plans. |

Christopher Ratliff - Howell, MI
I love your program. I work for the Detroit Rescue Mission's Wildwood Ranch as the Barn Manager/Adventure Director. Last year I lead a group of inner-city teens on the Hoist Lake trails. While there I also instructed future trip leaders on outdoor skills. We also take 13+ horses on the Shore to Shore trail every summer. This year my wife will be joining me on these trips, 3 to the area in all. It was very helpful for her to see your program. We hope to vacation in Oscoda this September also. As usual your program was very diverse in topics and information. We both look forward to this summer and your next programs! |

Hank Kaufmann - Saginaw, MI
I watched every second of the show and enjoyed seeing Jim Miller in action. I realize you cannot get it all into one half-hour segment. I would make the following suggestions about this area: Sawmill Point Maltby Hills www.Ioscosportsmen.com Corsair/Silver Valley Tawas Point State Park & Lighthouse Buck Creek Pond Reid Lake Brookie fishing on small feeder creeks. -Hank Kaufmann |

Dianna Gregory - Three Rivers, MI
My husband and I watched the show today with our 8 year old nephew. I commented that it would be a great trip and affordable with the price of gas! Our nephew asked when 'we' could go! and if he could help paddle. It looks like a great place to check out. |

Warren Warber - Walker, MI
I tuned in your show for the first time while I was working in my shop, what a surprise. I'm a canoer and kayaker, I build my own boats and paddles. The show was great, I lost shop time, it was worth it. |

Shawn Burr - Beaverton, MI
I was suprised to see that there was so much to offer, when it came to the Rifle River. Our family frequently goes to Sterling to fish and have often wondered if there were other areas to explore. I want to thank you for giving my family of eight more places to explore! Thank You, Shawn I Burr |
