GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — For the past 9 years, Paul Gobble has gone back to doing the thing he loves the most, riding his bike. "I've not done any other sport that even comes close to what I enjoy being out on the road," said Gobble. Back in 2016, that love of the open road almost came to an end. Gobble was one of four members of the biking group "The Chain Gang" to be injured in a crash near Kalamazoo after a driver under the influence of drugs crashed into them.

OCEANA COUNTY, Mich. — Two years ago, Dan Kolosci's campground store burned to the ground. That meant no ice cream, no food and limited sales outside of campsites. "2024 was really slow for us because of the fire and not having the amenities we've had in the past," he said. "We operated out of tents, out of trailers, whatever we could do to accommodate the public and keep up some sort of normalcy in the campground," said Kolosci.
