Erin from Bay Mills:
I think Bay Mills is a very nice place to live. The people
are nice and very friendly. If you never been to Bay Mills you should
come and see the wonderful sights. I live on the shore line of Lake Superior.
I think the sunsets are very fascinating. There are a lot of fun
things to do in Bay Mills. So come and join us!
