Early Morning Fishing in Gladstone Park (Digital Life and Recreation)


There are these people, called digital nomads, who travel around the country and the world staying in new unique places. Over the years, since I started working remotely, I became one of the those nomads. I still of course have a home and places to go but I'm more able to travel and do some of the things I want. That brings forward the idea of how to balance recreation, work and other aspects of life? 

This picture is taken from Gladstone Michigan. They have a fishing pier, boat launch, marina, beach, pavilion, ball park and other stuff. On this particular day I decided I'm going to head down early in the AM and put my pole in the water while working hot spot from my computer. Its early in the morning and that is the best time to get things done! 

The best part about this is that I throw everything in the car when I'm done and go for a speed walk through the park. Gladstone is in Delta County Michigan and affords the opportunity to live a small town life while having some modern amenities. 

I hope to draw in some engineering and design firms as well as a few tourist outdoor recreational businesses mixed with custom small batch prototype manufacturing to put a little juice into the area (These types of firms can enhance the area through high paying jobs while maximizing the development and protection of the outdoors through demographic recreational interests.). That is a longer term project. 

How did the fishing go? No bites. Even the guy before me said he didn't get anything. Still worth the time. I hear in Japan they pay to fish and not eat what they catch just for the Zen of it all!
