I recently purchased a book called, "Weird Michigan", by Linda S Godfrey. It has a number of interesting, unusual, and just plain odd places to visit in Michigan, everything from haunted roads to man-made oddities. Many are located in Northern Michigan, and many can be seen on the way up to Inzane.
In the next few months, I am going to attempt to highlight them for you. I am not much in the way of writing, so reading the pages from the book will be best, assuming they scan well enough to read.
The first one, is regarding a road that has already been mentioned by Momz (see his post dated November 19, 200) regarding M-119. This road is known as the "Tunnel of Trees". It stretches roughly 20 miles, with hairpin curves, hills, etc., and is a joy to cruise. As it turns out, this road has a history of adventure, intrigue, and mystery. Along the road is a Jesuit Church, and tribal cemetery. It is the sight where the British and local tribes signed a treaty to fight against the Americans, during the revolution.
On one section, there is a hairpin curve called the Devils Elbow. Here, the indian tribes believe the Thunderbird Spirits battled the Panther Spirits. Strange occurences continue to happen on the road to this day. Read the attached article and enjoy!!
