The Route Scouts


Route Scouts - Mary Roberts, Heidi Marshall and Rebecca Glotfelty

Mary:
Mary is your guide through the land of the Waganakising or the Land of the Crooked Tree on our M119 Audio tour.   She is a member of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians who have resided in this area for the last 400 years.   She will help you discover the wonderful culture and customs of the diverse people who reside along the route.

Heidi:
Inspector of fine boutiques and dining, Heidi is our shopping guru.  Do you want to know the best thing to take along for a picnic or spread over fine sesame crackers?  Just ask Heidi.  She has a nose for the most delicious desserts located along our routes.   Looking for the perfect shoe to wear around town?  Heidi can tell you the place to find it.  If you don't find what you need on the audio tour, just send us an email and Heidi will help with your quest.  In addition to her uncanny ability to coordinate, Heidi is a professional artist and writer and lives just off M119 near Harbor Springs.  

Rebecca:  
Known as "Nature Scout,"  Rebecca spent her childhood looking for ant lions, salamanders, and other creatures found under logs and on beaches.  She is scouting out all the interesting facts about the wildlife that you'll encounter on your tours.   When she's not out recording sounds of the piliated woodpecker, spring peepers and sandhill cranes,  Rebecca is an independent film producer and owner of the Cycling Salamander Art Gallery outside Charlevoix, Michigan.
