Headed out today to Palms Book State Park to see Kitch-iti-kipi (big spring), pronounced with all short “i” sounds like in “wind.” The water is about 40’ deep and emerald green, spring fed and a constant 45 degrees year round. You can take the self-powered, cable guided, glass bottom raft out to the middle of the spring to get a great view straight down to the bottom. You’ll see spots where the water is gushing up from underground, trout or other trash fish21 that appear to be suspended in midair, and the occasional pair of sunglasses.

On the way back to camp, we tried to find a couple of geocaches but had no luck at all. It did give Beth a chance to walk in the water in Lake Michigan, which she says was warm like bathwater. The rest of the day was spent relaxing at camp, enjoying the view of the lake, and a cold kalja22.
21. Fish other than native brook trout
22. Pronounced “kay-yah”, Finnish for beer, also known as the “nectar of the gods.”
