EPISODE 693: Behind the Mitten Road Trip -- Clare to LewistonIn this episode of "Behind the Mitten," hosts John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman celebrate a decade of exploring Michigan's hidden gems. They embark on a road trip adventure, visiting various local businesses, including Buccilli's Pizza in Clare, R & J's Best Choice Marketplace in Houghton Lake, and Jack's Place in Roscommon, where they highlight the importance of community and local flavors. The episode also features the Lewiston Hotel & Bar, showcasing its award-winning fish fry and new menu items, emphasizing the unique experiences Michigan has to offer.Segment 1: Co-owner Shari Buccilli of Buccilli's Pizza in Clare tells the story how her husband's family moved from Detroit and started the award-winning pizzeria in 1973 with only $1,500. Segment 2: Our next stop is at R&J's Best Choice Marketplace of Houghton Lake where we meet Joycelyn Alexander, who tells us more about this "Pure Michigan" destination that features products from all over the state, including a variety of their top-selling Feta cheese. Amy calls herself "a Feta girl" and wants to enter the annual contest in December to win a year's worth of Feta. Last year they sold 14,730 pounds of the cheese.Segment 3: A few years ago we traveled all over the state looking for great fish frys. We found one at Jack's Place in Roscommon, known for fresh Alaskan cod and a cool A-frame bar. The fish is never frozen and flown in every week. We stopped in again, only to discover that Amy happen to know new co-owner Jason Christensen, who is originally from Amy's hometown in downriver Detroit. We learned more about how Jason and his partner Ashley Reynolds came to own the bar. And of course, we had to try the fish again. It was fabulous. Segment 4: Another one of our favorite fish frys was at the Lewiston Hotel & Bar, and it, too has new ownership. It was our final stop for the show. We sat at the bar and talked to Troy Willett, who tells us how he and his wife, Crissy, bought the bar a few years ago and updated it with a new menu, including gyros, poutine, more Mexican food items and the "Lewie Burger," a half-pound cheese burger that has become a top-seller. But the perch fish fry still brings them in because it's still the same, Troy said. They also offer 12 modest, very clean hotel rooms, making it a great place to spend the night. Prices are very afforable.That completes our Clare to Lewiston road trip!Chapters00:00 - Celebrating a Decade of Michigan Adventures01:14 - Road Trip Excitement: The Journey Begins02:38 - Exploring Clare: St. Patrick's Day Festivities04:01 - Buccilli's Pizza (Clare): A Local Favorite10:30 - Michigan Maple Festival: Sweet Traditions12:51 - R & J's Best Choice Market (Houghton Lake): Michigan Goods Galore20:57 - Jack's Place (Roscommon): Fresh Fish and Community Vibes35:41 - The Lewiston Hotel (Lewiston): A New Chapter in HospitalityLearn more about Behind the Mitten at amyandgonzo.com.

As a bowhunter of 20+ years - my evolution in arrow selection has changed. I used to buy arrows shafts pre-fletched from a big box store and call it good. Eventually I gravitated towards buying shafts and an arrow saw, then started fletching my own arrows. Then, I really dug in on arrow components, arrow spines, nock tuning and bare-shaft tuning. All this lead me down a road of mitigating any potential failure points in my archery equipment, including arrows. Today we're talking to Jason Christensen owner of Ram Products maker of the Ram Spine Tester. We filmed a complete tutorial on how to use their machine and decided to chat about it here for all my archery nerds! Listeners of the ElkShape Podcast Exclusives:

Napier is under a state of local emergency after the city was pummelled by rain on Monday evening. Flood waters tore through the streets of Napier last night, leading to evacuations, improvised rescue missions, and widespread damage. Torrential rain in the space of a few hours saw parts of the city submerged in half a metre or more of water. A Hastings man was one of several four wheel drive enthusiasts who lent a hand rescuing people trapped by flood waters last night. After taking to Facebook and asking if anybody needed help, Jason Christensen was inundated with pleas for assistance. He rescued two people trapped in their cars and gave another person a ride home from the centre of town after they became surrounded by flooding. He told Conan Young one couple got more than they bargained for after they got in their car to do some sightseeing.
