    Grayling /ˈɡrlɪŋ/ is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the county seat of Crawford County. The population was 1,884 at the 2010 census.

    Grayling is surrounded by Grayling Township. It is located in the middle of Northern Michigan. The highways ( I-75, US 127, M-72, and M-93) make it the natural 'gateway' to much of "up north," as it is known to locals and many visitors. Grayling is perhaps most famous for hosting the Au Sable River Canoe Marathon in July of every year since 1947.

    History

    Michael Sloat Hartwick was Grayling's first settler. On the west side of the railroad tracks, he built a log hotel. The railroad platted out 40 acres (where Grayling now stands), naming it "Crawford." Fish swimming in the river were identified as grayling fish, and it is said that the residents preferred the name "Grayling" to the name "Crawford," and renamed the area after the fish.

    Grayling's access to two major rivers (Au Sable River and Manistee River), and the presence of the vast forest around it, made it important in the lumber era. Logs were floated down the rivers to the lakes.

    Thymallus

    Thymallus is a genus of freshwater fish in the salmon family Salmonidae; it is the only genus of subfamily Thymallinae. The type species is Thymallus thymallus, the grayling. The species in the genus are generically called graylings, but without qualification this also refers specifically to T. thymallus.

    Distribution

    The fishes of this genus are native to the northern parts of the Palearctic and Nearctic ecozones, ranging from the United Kingdom and northern Europe across Eurasia to Siberia, as well as northern North America. T. thymallus, the grayling, is widespread in Europe, and T. arcticus, the Arctic grayling, is widespread throughout Eurasia east of the Ural Mountains and in the Nearctic. The other species have more localized ranges in northern Asia.

    Appearance

    The Thymallus species are distinguished from other members of the salmon family by their larger scales, their small mouths with teeth on the maxillary bone, and most striking of all, their showy, sail-like dorsal fins. This fin is longer in males and highly colourful, with spots of red, orange, purple or green. The body is also colourful; the dorsal surface is a dark purplish to bluish black or gray, grading to dark blue or silver gray on the flanks and gray or white on the belly. The body is further decorated with a smattering of small dark spots; these are much more numerous in juveniles.

    Crawling in my skin
    Crawling in my skin
    Without a sense of confidence
    Consuming, confusing
    Crawling in my skin
    Without a sense of confidence
    I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
    There’s something inside me
    That pulls beneath the surface
    Crawling in my skin
    Crawling in my skin
    These wounds, they will not heal
    These wounds, they will not heal
    Fear is how I fall
    Fear is how I fall
    Confusing, confusing what is real
    Confusing what is real
    There’s something inside me
    That pulls beneath the surface
    Consuming, confusing
    This lack of self-control
    I fear is never ending
    Controlling, I can’t seem
    To find myself again
    My walls are closing in
    Without a sense of confidence
    I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
    I’ve felt this way before
    So insecure
    Crawling in my skin
    These wounds, they will not heal
    Fear is how I fall
    Confusing what is real
    Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
    Distracting, reacting
    Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
    It’s haunting
    How I can’t seem
    To find myself again
    My walls are closing in
    Without a sense of confidence
    I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
    I’ve felt this way before
    So insecure
    Without a sense of confidence
    Without a sense of confidence
    Without a sense of confidence
    I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
    Without a sense of confidence
    Without a sense of confidence
    Without a sense of confidence
    I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
    To find myself again
    My walls are closing in
    Without a sense of confidence
    I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
    I’ve felt this way before
    So insecure
    Crawling in my skin
    These wounds, they will not heal
    Fear is how I fall
    Confusing what is real
    Crawling in my skin
    These wounds, they will not heal
    Fear is how I fall
