Lets start here and see where this goes... been wanting to put this one up for a few weeks now. If you need a hint or two I can definitely provide some.

hm, random ROW with trees... way too vague. Photos should have something distinct in them, such as a building that's not common, some background that's identifiable, a curve with some scenery. Sorry, poor choice of a pic MQT1223. I'll put a very random guess as on the line between Hamilton and Allegan.

Sorry its only my second picture. I wasn't sure if it was too vague or not, but no its not between Hamilton and Allegan. At least my mystery picture's location is not in the hyperlink this time! Here try this, this is facing the same direction about 50-100 yards back.

Ah, much better pic. Guessing that's i-196 looking north... you are just north of Lamar in grand rapids looking toward the grand river.
Btw, did you hit submit 4 times? There were 4 copies of this same post that I had to clean up..

Drove through that area once at night and hadn't seen this barn, but JT has it in a few of his photos. S Williams St in Bellevue MI. Here's one:

I don't think this has been solved yet. How about tossing out a clue?

Correct.. code line gone, that engine's probably repainted, and stone empties don't flow west out of GR anymore.

All I had to do was highlight the text. :lol:

About the four posts, for whatever reason RRfan has been moving very slow on my end for a few weeks. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is but it might've caused the four posts.

Max, you TOTALLY missed the point of me editing it that way. It was so if you wanted to actually play the game, you could.

There are numerous ways to circumvent that, obviously you found one. If I wanted to hide it, I wouldn't have posted it at all.
