MICHIGAN - Where Is It ??? New Buffalo 1989 !!!

Unread post by flafiretwo »

This is the first uploaded image from my 1989 trip to Michigan. An identifying structure has been cropped out........so I know where the picture was taken.

If you would like to make a guess...Good Luck.

Other images will follow, and many of those will require help in determining the location. Should have made and kept photo notes.

Thanks, Larry

The old roundhouse in Tawas City? Either that or New Buffalo.

New Buffalo is one of the few places my uncle took pictures of in his own late 80's trip, and seeing this pic instantly made me think of New Buffalo, so thats my answer: NEW BUFFALO!
