Beautiful indeed . . . But I have not seen the Jordan or Boardman
for decades -- so if you know them over time it would be extra
interesting to hear whether they changed or remain the same
as in 1975 or 1985.

I don't know the area at all. I saw the Jordan for the first time
last year and the Boardman for the first time two days ago.

I don't imagine the Jordan has changed much, it's been protected
by Michigan's Natural Rivers Program for 40 years. In fact all
three of the streams I fished, the Jordan, Boardman and Upper
Manistee are now part of that program.

One change you might find interesting is the State Campground
called The Forks where the North and South Fork of the Boardman
join is now closed due to state financial troubles. But at least
it's still public land.
