The canoe rental place was in the woods near Fennville down a dirt road. The whole area was lovely.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396312339372162866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265511791146423221.post-57629051170032734952009-07-13T21:01:03.313-07:002009-07-13T21:01:03.313-07:00Good show: I grew up in South Haven (did you walk...Good show: I grew up in South Haven (did you walk down Quaker Street?), worked a college summer in Saugatuck, inherited two wooded lots in Glen (sold for down payment on nephew's two-flat in Chicago.)<br /><br />This is first I've heard of "Allegan" river. At one point the Kalamazoo River (enters Lake Michigan at Saugatuck) is dammed to form Lake Allegan, but the only other rivers around there are both Black - one thru Holland, the other thru South Haven.<br /><br />One Holland MI story I like: In the 1970s Holland MI built that new park, and they wanted a real Dutch windmill to put in it. They went to the Netherlands, and were told that because people from all over the world wanted the same thing, it got to the point they had to put a freeze on windmill exports. But after considering "the long and close relationship between Holland MI and the netherland", the legislature gave a special dispensation... thus 'De Zwan" I'm sure you saw it.<br /><br />Arn Nelson<br />Chicago IL<br />ah_nelson@yahoo.comWestBankArnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291821202873088518noreply@blogger.com
