Ah, corner of Lee St and Parkdale Ave SW in Wyoming MI. Should have figured it was within walking distance of MQT1223's home instead of biking distance, lolz.
FYI, this is not an easy one for anyone outside of the GR area...
True true. Most would assume its just a powerline ROW. I actually drove there on my way home from work. I'm suprised no one has figured out where I live yet by the pictures I post. :lol: This is a very long walk for me. Biking is better for this spot. However finding where I live is different. My house looks like any other until you see whats on display in front.

Interestingly, he also shot this one in the same area of the same unit, going the same direction, but totally opposite on the seasons!

IIRC it's now operated by Pinnacle or Gielow. GLRF said Gielow so that's probably the correct company.

Eh...uh....um...not sure what I was thinking. Vlassic sounds better than Gielow. Gielow's plants are mostly in Sanilac County, not Lapeer County... :oops:

Although you can't see in this photo, there are rails in the grass. The tracks end here and haven't had a train over them for some time, but they do go North for quite a distance and up there they are still active. NE lower Michigan.
