Backroads Michigan

We would like to thank Morgan and her wonderful mom for getting us down in this beautiful area of Michigan.

The welcome mat.

A wonderfully kept building owned by a gentleman whose family takes pride in building restoration.

After being moved from Adrian, this building was restored and is now used as the Blissfield Museum.

An environmentally safe gas pump behind the Blissfield MiniMart.

A trestle over the River Raisin.

The pride of Blissfield from a different era.

I want to know how they landed this here?

One does not see these very often.

Your carriage awaits!

Backroads Bobo dog rolls in to Dundee and says, “Would you look at the size of those critters!”

A rather unique old building.

All backroads in Michigan lead to the Capital!

You can’t buy gas at Walkerville, but you can buy milk, chips and a soda.

Appears to have been a gas station and store at one time. Across the road from the Walkerville Store.

There is a Walkerville in Oceana County. This Walkerville is in southeast Shiawassee County. Our maps don’t show this one, so……… wondering how it got the name. This Walkerville is located at the corner of Bancroft Road and Braden Road.

What trip to Port Huron would be complete without stopping by one of the riverside parks and watching a Great Lakes Freighter or two.

The Blue Water Bridge to Canada.

A view of the riverfront from Pinegrove Park. Must be rough living in one of the houses.

Dighton as it looks now.

How to get there:

For a walk in the woods or just a picnic, this park is great. The park is located west of M52, south of St. Charles, north of Chesaning, and northeast of Brant. The feature of the park is the beautiful trees and the southern branch of the Bad River that flows through the park.

Below you will find the marker located along the trails.

And a look at the trees.
