August 3-6, 2016 Michigan Friends and Family

A Side Trip

We left Durand for a few days and went to visit Mark, Angie and the puppies.  They have a secluded piece of property near Alpena.  We had a great time visiting around the fire.














We also stopped by East Tawas to visit with Donny and Gary and meet Terrie.  Donny took us on a boat ride out to the crib and around the lake.

This lovely building is called the crib.  National gypsum would all buckets of material over the lake to this plant for loading onto the ships.

I found this picture online of how it worked
























To end the day we were treated to this beautiful sunset and a host of shooting stars.



Next stop, the family get together.
