It wasn’t long into their adventure together that they decided they wanted something different. As Joe describes it, they started to ‘design a life they wanted to live’.

    What county in MIchigan allows yurts? I’ve been having a terrible time finding one!

    I know there are a few places in Michigan, one is in Joyfeild Township, northern Manistee County. My friend Craig Schaaf lives there in a yurt and has for years.
