I've passed under this bridge many a summer on my boat. Great recreational area.

Let's try this one. JT and SD80MAC are banned from guessing this one. That's your clue.

There are a lot more people you should have banned from this one, myself included.

Correct. Very good. I thought someone might recognize it without hints. The highway is M-33 a few miles South of Cheboygan. The waterway is maintained and marked by the US Corp Engineers and is the best boating opportunity in Michigan. 40 miles of lakes and connecting rivers, quite an adventure. The D&M roadbed and bridges have been retained for use as a popular snowmobile trail.
BAND CAMP! I too am a band camper from Ohio, best part of high school for me.

Ok, lets see. Looks Chicago-ish. No overhead catenary so probably not the South Shore. I see CN coming but that could still be a lot of places. I think hints will be needed.

Camp walden is the best band camp! And yes the M33. Somewhere on the way up there is a depot by a lake. Wlwiite a scenic trail
