Armchair Boogie

There’s only one place in the world where you can play six completely unique disc-golf courses and see three nights of fantastic music—all over the course of one weekend. Write down these dates, because you don’t want to miss this one: July 10–13, 2025 is when it’s going down at the beautiful Highbridge Hills Disc Golf Megaplex in Wisconsin. This plot of land truly has it all.

Ohio is flat. I know this. It isn’t Kansas-flat or Nebraska-flat, but flat all the same. Detroit, where I live, is only an hour from Toledo—the city Ohio wrested from us during the Michigan-Ohio War of 1836. I’ve driven through the Buckeye State many times and vacationed in most of its major “C” cities (plus the “T,” “D,” “BG,” and “M”). All of them are pretty level. Legend Valley, however—tucked near that middle “C” city—is shockingly hilly. I probably should have gleaned that from the word valley in its name, but hindsight is 20/20.
