• Lost Peninsula

  I recently learned Michigan has a small exclave in Lake Erie north of Toledo. Well, maybe not an exclave, it isn’t surrounded by Ohio, but it is only accessible from Ohio (or boat). We hoped to grab a meal at the restaurant (since there’s nothing else to do there), but it was closed for the season. We were able to snap a few photos of the state line monument there, before a local rooster encouraged us to move along.
