Of the fifty states in the US, theres one in particular that stands out like a sore thumb. Not for its beauty, mind you, but for other reasons. None of them positive.

was just back there... I lived in the southeast lake country from 1966 to 1985-— Oakland County....
I love Michigan !
Come now the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is known as God’s Country. Please there are not 17 reasons not to visit Michigan. If you like islands there are more islands than just Mackinac island - Les Cheneuax Islands (east of mackinac Island). west of mackinac is Hog Island. Hey you want to visit several State Parks and National Parks - Pictured Rocks near Munising. How about the Fayette park near garden center MI. there are are Taquhemon Falls, Whitefish Bay Ship Museum - The Edmund Fitzgerald.
It would be paradise if we could ship all the Liberals to Calipornia and New York!
Passed over a course once on a flight into Grand Rapids. Could have sworn my watch was broken.
and I can’t even tell you why Flint has a Convention and Visitors Bureau.

I really miss that scenery. I was born and raised in Michigan. Too bad that I had to move 3000 miles out of my way to find a job paying what I used to make 15 years ago. Remove Detroit, and all of the GM ghost towns along the I-75 corridor, and Michigan is a hunting/fishing/nature paradise.
And never forget to mention tip-up town and deer camp!
I still can’t believe that these people here out west will go deer and elk hunting in 70~80 degree weather. Of course, they never had to go up against the “thirty point buck”.
Michigan is as beautiful now as it ever has been. Born and raised in Flint, now in Grand Haven. Life just doesn’t get any better than this.
I have a picture of the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse on my wall, along with a print of the Edmund Fitzgerald a few minutes prior to sinking and one of another carrier, the Roger Blough.
Oh, we live in Maryland.
The names of any 17 liberals could be enough for some people, but there are at least 17 in any state one can name. ;’)
Ha ha—do those guys look like prototypical Michiganders, or what?
I love it when you post pictures through the different seasons looking out back from your place. Alas, the fishing shantys seem to have succumbed to the dreaded Gorebull Warming.
Those are some beautiful scenes.
Best thing out of Flint today: Koegels hot dogs and viennas. Nobody else on the planet makes them better. And don’t forget the hole e smokes little smoked sausages. They are packed like hotdogs. I used to pickle those in spicy hot brine. They went down as fast as the beer.
You are correct, that is awesome eats. I got out of Flint with the Navy in ‘75, a brief stop after service in ‘81 and made the long trip to the coast, Lake Michigan coast that is!
We’re neighbors!! :)
While I’m partial to Todoroff’s, Detroit is a great food town.
