Beaver Creek as the sun sets just south of Breckenridge, Michigan

Shown here is the mighty and beautiful Beaver Creek.  A tributary of the Tittabawassee, this is the stream that I spent many-a-day on when I was growing up.  It is true that the stream is not much to look at on the surface, but if it s followed deep past its curves and bends into the fields and woods of Gratiot and Saginaw counties, there is much to be discovered.  I have some of the best memories of this place, be it spearing for suckers or falling through the ice in the winter to the amusement of my friends.  This is where it all started for me, the place that will always be home.  They say that home is where the heart is.  For me, my heart lies on my home stream.  That is Beaver Creek.
