I love all things Snoopy and my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. My favorite outdoor activity is hiking and camping with my family and running with my dog, Freddie.

RACHEL
I usually have stories to tell about creature sightings and encounters (birds, reptiles, mammals, insects, amphibians – I love them all). I also love flowers, wild edibles, and most things green. My favorite outdoor activity is to be barefoot . . . also planting things, hiking, and kayaking.
MCKENNA
In my free time I enjoy relaxing at the beach or the pool and reading a good book. I enjoy being outside in the summer time and soaking up the sun. I love to be with family, friends and my two golden retrivers.
NATALIE
When I'm not working, I'm either on my bike, in the woods or at the lake! I love hooping, quad skating, playing guitar and making yummy Vegan meals & treats. My dogs, Mooney, Jesús and Wally, come with me everywhere whether we're hiking, canoeing or climbing mountains!
BRANDON
When I'm not holed up inside reading a good book, I enjoy a medley of outdoor activities. I love to disc golf with my dog, Roran, as well as camp, hike and snowboard. I've had almost 10 years of experience in adventure recreation!
MARY JEAN
I used to work with birds of prey. I have lived in Colorado, West Virginia, New Jersey, Virginia, Louisiana and New Mexico. I have lived in Petoskey almost longer than everywhere else combined. My favorite outdoor activity is biking and cross-country skiing.
EMILY
I love dressing up for any occasion. I am currently studying fashion design while at college! I enjoy traveling and swimming with sea animals. I've swam with dolphins, sea lions, stingrays, turtles, and sharks!
JESSICA
I’ve moved – a lot. I’ve hosted two German exchange students. I majored in Art and Illustration and I love graphic novels (not the superhero ones). My favorite outdoor activities are hiking and lake swimming and SUPing.
MARY
I love spending time with my family and exploring new places together. I also enjoy hiking the local trails with my dog, Lucky, and visiting with friends at the local coffee shop.
LIBBY
I am a special education teacher at a local school and love the outdoors and brands that have a purpose! In my free time I love to get outside and go for a hike!
LUCY
I love camping in the summer and skiing in the winter. One of my favorite activities is playing soccer! I also love playing with my dog, Stanley, and my cat, Stormy.
PAYTON
I love being with my friends and family. I enjoy being outside, seeing new things, and going to new places. I love to dance, make pottery, and listen to live music.
MARIE
Brooke
I’m always up for an outdoor adventure. I ski, snowboard, and spend warmer days hiking the trails around Petoskey with my family and my dog, Olli. I’m a passionate birder and have spotted over 160 species in Michigan, and I love my favorite wildflowers, tansy and milkweed. I also love Rumpl Blankets, and when I’m in town, I can’t pass up a Petoskey Fog from North Perk.
Susan
I’ve collected some great stories over the years—from working as a florist on Mackinac Island to 16 years helping renovate furniture at Mission Point Resort (yes, there are ghost stories). I love camping in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, especially around Eagle Harbor in the Keweenaw—lots of rocks, and the occasional bear or elk. Recently, I became a big fan of Smartwool after braving a -17° windchill during Forts Colonial Christmas.
