The Twenty-seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of Congress from taking effect until the start of the next set of terms of office for Representatives. The amendment is the most recent to be adopted, but one of the first proposed. It was submitted by the 1st Congress to the states for ratification on September 25, 1789, along with eleven other proposed amendments. While ten of these twelve proposals were ratified in 1791 to become the Bill of Rights, what would become the Twenty-seventh Amendment and the proposed Congressional Apportionment Amendment did not get ratified by enough states for them to also come into force with the first ten amendments.

Most Beautiful Place in America - ABC Good Morning America

Benzie County - Michigan was voted the Most Beautiful Place in America by Viewers of ABC's Good Morning America. These are the most interesting and beautiful views from our father and son cycling/camping trip. 4 days, 60 miles of riding with my 5 years old boy.
This area is absolutely beautiful... IT'S REALLY QUIET, not many people or traffic even during weekends. A lot of wildlife including black bears, and a lot of attractions for everyone.

Let's Visit Frankfort, MI

In this video, I check out Frankfort, MI located on Lake Michigan. I check out a little of the downtown area as well as the shoreline along Lake Michigan including the Frankfort North Breakwater Lighthouse. Along here is where the Betsie River empties into the lake. At the end of the video, I check out the scenic overlook along M-22 near the Benzie/Manistee county border where a very nice view of Lake Michigan can be seen.

HOMESTEAD DAM - BETSIE RIVER - RUSTIC RESORT - BENZIE COUNTY, MICH. - By: Norm Rasmussen

Benzie County in lower Western Michigan offers vacationers some of the most delightful get-away-spots the Great Lakes region has to offer!

To learn more about the RUSTIC RESORT just a stone's throw away from Homestead Dam:

If you stay at Rustic Resort, owners will haul your humongous salmon you catch at the river back up the hill to the Resort so you can save your strength to catch 5 more 15 -20 pound salmon (each) the next day! Can't beat THAT, now can you?!

(Sorry for the typo error at the end of the video - did you see it?)

Capri Drive-In 50th Anniversary | Pure Michigan

The Capri Drive-In is located on US-12, just west of downtown Coldwater in Southwest Michigan. Some of you folks may remember that US-12 was once the main route from Detroit to Chicago, with Coldwater acting as the halfway point. There are many classic sites to see along the way, none more beautiful than the Capri Drive-In, which was built and opened by John (Sr.) and Mary Magocs in the summer of 1964.

Great Lakes Bay Region Spring Events | Pure Michigan

Some say each day is a work of art. In Michigan's Great Lakes Bay Region, we think it's a masterpiece. Let's explore a place where we can dabble in the extraordinary... sip tea during an authentic Japanese ceremony, touch marble hand-carved by a world-famous sculptor, or shape the clay between our fingers, just to see it glazed and fired before our eyes. It's all here in Michigan's Great Lakes Bay Region, where towns like Bay City, Birch Run, Chesaning, Frankenmuth, Midland, and Saginaw paint pictures we've never seen before, in colors more vibrant than ever.

Camping in Michigan: D.H. Day Campground

Jeanette and I take a two day camping trip to D.H Day campground in Glen Arbor, Michigan. A rustic campground on lake Michigan with private campsites and easy beach access. It was clean, the staff was helpful and friendly, the beach wasn't crowded and the campground was peaceful. It is next to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and has a town nearby. There is a lot to do in the area. We didn't have an issue with bugs at our campsite but the beach had biting flies. There is poison ivy and there are black bear in the area. Definitely a place worth visiting.

Bayfront Park - Petoskey, MI

This former industrial site was reclaimed as a linear park featuring 7800 feet of public shoreline on scenic Little Traverse Bay. The park features various facilities and amenities. It is well maintained and provides varied uses for Petoskey residents. It is considered one of the “treasures” of the Petoskey park system and Emmet County.
