Thank you GP30M4216 I was just having some fun. The original photo I posted was cropped. Since then I have inserted the original photo and I believe it was taken in Lake Odessa Michigan but I’m not positive. Maybe BL2-1843 and you or somebody else will see the pic and be able to identify the exact location.
