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. 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.~Z~ wrote:Ah, corner of Lee St and Parkdale Ave SW in Wyoming MI.

Interestingly, he also shot this one in the same area of the same unit, going the same direction, but totally opposite on the seasons!Michael wrote:MQT3001 wrote:Here's another one, JT's shot I believe. So that counts you out, Baldy

Re: Where am I?
IIRC it's now operated by Pinnacle or Gielow. GLRF said Gielow so that's probably the correct company.Michael wrote:Yep. Vlasic

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...AARR wrote:IIRC it's now operated by Pinnacle or Gielow. GLRF said Gielow so that's probably the correct company.Michael wrote:Yep. Vlasic

Re: Where am I?
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.Pixl wrote:Another old grain elevator
