The greater Grand Rapids area always has something happening. During the spring and summer you will find all sorts of people taking advantage of one of the finest county owned golf courses, "Palmer" (as the local golf folks call it) attracts all sorts of people because of its perfectly manicured links and friendly professional staff. (It's one of my husband's favorite places to play)I often over hear him talking to one of his golf buddies about what course they plan on playing that given week. L.E. KAUFMAN, AKA "PALMER" is in constant rotation of 4 courses played regularly by him and his friends.
During the winter months L.E. Kauffman turns the golf course into a winter wonderland of well groomed cross country ski trails. They rent equipment for $8.oo, that allows you access to all trails or bring your own ski's and pay only $1.00. So much beauty to explore and great exercise too!
My friend and I recently visited "Palmer". It had been several years since doing the cross country ski 
thing. (I am a down hill skier of limited and cautious ability) My brother often refers to me, when on the top of a ski slope, as the Statue of Liberty because I stand frozen forever just trying to muster the courage to make my way down the hill. What he doesn't know, is that I'm making sure everyone is out of my way!
On this day, the sun was as bright as can be and the snow glistened. Making our way through the trails was peaceful and strenuous at the same time. I was able to visit with a dear friend and catch up after several years of losing touch. All and all it was a wonderful day of exploring a beautiful winter day in Western Michigan!
