Besides cherries, the surrounding countryside produces Grape s and is one of the centers of the Michigan Wine industry. Known for its shimmering blue water and golden sand beaches, the Grand Traverse Bay region is a popular vacation destination. In September 2007, Mark Holley, an underwater Archeologist with the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve Council who teaches at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, said that they might have discovered a boulder (3.5 to 4 feet high x 5 feet long) with a prehistoric carving in the Grand Traverse Bay. The granite rock has markings that resemble a Mastodon with a spear in its side. Confirmation that the markings are an ancient Petroglyph will require more evidence.1 EXTERNAL LINKS
