About the Author
Wack, Scot: – In 1999, Scot and Jennifer Wack made Northport, Michigan their home, where they have raised three wonderful children in Jennifer’s great grandmother’s house. Jennifer’s deep family ties to the area proved advantageous. While Scot hails from outside Washington, D.C., and Jennifer’s parents relocated frequently due to her father’s job, they both cherished summers spent on the shores of Leelanau County, collecting rocks. With Scot’s background in carpentry and Jennifer’s in nursing, neither holds a formal degree in geology or earth sciences-simply put, they’re two regular folks who adore rocks! Learning about the origins of each stone captivated them, fueling their passion for exploring the Lake Michigan shoreline in search of deeper insights into local rocks. Their mission? To inspire everyone to discover the shoreline, enjoy some exercise, and perhaps uncover a few fascinating rocks to bring home.Wack, Jennifer: – In 1999, Scot and Jennifer Wack made Northport, Michigan their home, where they have raised three wonderful children in Jennifer’s great grandmother’s house.
