You could actually put a regular sized person on a regular sized sled on it at that point. In light of the fact that John is presently unvailable, I will try to get by there today to see how things are progressing, hopefully I will remember to take the camera & I can post a couple more pic's. CRS is a Be-otch!

It's still hangin on!
Well, the CRS was tame today, I remembered to take the camera to shoot these 4 photo's. I really wish I was on the sled in my window screen in that last shot. I couldn't resist taking that, it almost looks like it could jump right out of the picture & into the snow. I wonder if the Glacier will make till May 28th? That's the date I picked. Close enough I say, where's my shirt?!? For the broken winter that we had, it has sure been a long spring to say the least, suppose to get down to 32 tonight.-Mezz

Skylar, no problem, glad to help. My wife bought me the window screen for my first brand new truck in 2005, she found it on-line, can't recall the site though, again, the CRS is acting up. I liked it so much, I told her she should try and find another just in case something happened. Well, last year I traded in the 05 for the 2010, I was bummed about losing out on the screen & of course could not find one even close to it. Last Fathers Day, my wife gave me the emergency back up.
Nash, I will try to remember to take the GPS with me, again good ole CRS may play a factor, but I will try. Imagine this if you can, your headed up to Laurium via M-26 from Lake Linden, it's near the top of the hill just outside of Florida, I believe on the edge of Moyles Farm. If that doesn't jog the memory, then the simple answer will be, up dare on dat corner dat goes to da right before it goes to da left, on da left before da very top of da hill.
LOL!!!!!!-Mezz
HACK: Not this past year!!!!
Yeah, that sounds 'bout right! I do seem to recall that it was (on da nort' side da road, eh? — Minor Correction: Actually on the east side o' that section of da road.) within spittin' distance of the Florida [Location] (white lettering on da green background) sign. — I presume that sign is still there, I'll have to see if it shows up in the Google® street view!
As a matter of fact, that's also not far from the ol' Douglas [sic] Houghton Falls (more properly Houghton-Douglass Falls, as it was really not named for the Geologist Douglass Houghton, but for the two fellers, Douglass Houghton and his contemporary and fellow explorer Christopher Columbus (C.C.) Douglass!)"
Hey now, dat's some mo' betta Yooper directions, eh?… If that doesn't jog the memory, then the simple answer will be, up dare on dat corner dat goes to da right before it goes to da left, on da left before da very top of da hill.
(Still hard at work serving the JD community, even from the hospital bed, eh?) Thanks, John!
Now take care of yourself, we need you back here soon, in good health!
Be sure you include the sign with the longitude, or it'll put you on the other side of the planet! (West longitude is negative, east is positive!)

You got it Nash, see, your memory isn't as fuzzy as you thought. Yes, The sign is still there, white letters on the green background! I did get my GPS out & got close on the Topo with an guesstimate of N47 13.216' W088 26.391' My curiosity got the best of me so I went to the site with the GPS & short of standing on it here is what it actually read, N47 13.299' W088 26.363 I hope that helps, but, your recollection is right on the money, so who needs a GPS. You can add that to your list of talents, you Thesaurus, Spell Check, walking talking know too darn much displaced yooper you. Have a good one!
Thanks, Mezz — of course "joggerfy" has always been another of my lifelong obsessions. Good to know I'm not gettin' too rusty.You got it Nash, see, your memory isn't as fuzzy as you thought.

Pytavey, Google Maps reports that your guesstimate was only 0.1 mile south of your GPS coordinates. And perhaps more interestingly, John's attempt at eyeballin' it on Google Maps by remote control from a hospital bed was exactly three feet from your GPS location. Not too darn shabby, John! Plenty close enuf fer gummint work, eh?
Darn, you guys do good work!
