The Spring Bay PART ONE
WE erected the Spring Bay vacation cabin near the end of a road leading nowhere in the northern Michigan wilderness.
The site is at Spring Bay, three miles north of isolated DeTour village, on the broad St. Mary's River looking northeastward into Canada. The island studded river lies 35 feet from our breakfast table.

Over a period of years he accumulated quite an imposing array of power machinery—bulldozer, truck, Jeep and trailer, Shopsmith, electric hand saw—in order to develop his wilderness holdings.
These tools Steel let us use, and many other smaller ones, without charge.
