August
Michigan Womyn's Music Festival
There is magic in the air at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. Womyn who want to step out of the mainstream for a week and into the best party on the planet can taste that magic - it has kept Michigan alive, radical, controversial, deeply musical and passionately creative for over 30 years. For tens of thousands of womyn, Michigan triggers what is akin to tribal memory as we create this intergenerational, international female community each August. It's a place where the music is as diverse as the womyn who attend, where mothers and daughters and granddaughters come together and find their common culture as each rising generation adopts the Festival and makes it their own. Michigan 2006 will be a magnificent celebration of womyn's culture and community that you won't want to miss. For women only. JOIN THE DISCUSSION ABOUT MICHFEST NOW

NW Michigan Womyn's Geocaching Network — GPS: THE NEW NAVIGATION | JOIN
Geocaching (GEE-oh-cash-ing) is a fun and challenging activity that combines modern technologies like GPS and the Internet, with primitive outdoor navigation and search skills. “A GPS device and a desire for adventure are all you need for high-tech treasure hunting.” It's great fun.
