Memorial Day - Jackson, Michigan

We have been home long enough!!!! I missed the motorhome and Marge did too. Memorial Day weekend we left early (Tuesday) and decided that we would combine a little of my business with a trip north. I had some contact to make with people in Jackson Michigan and we decided to see what else was of interest and low and behold there was this fantastic old train station that still operates as an AMTRACK stop. What classic neat architecture.....and brick streets too!


We followed along the track to find a Norfolk Southern rail yard and what appeared to be older rail repair and warehouse buildings from a different era that also have interesting architectural details.

We camped at a place called Greenwood Acres that was the sight of the Goose Lake Music Festivals in the late 60's and 70's. Concerts were put on here in an attempt to copy Woodstock. It didn't have the success that Woodstock had but there was a quite a party here when it was active. Below is what was the stage with light towers. Oh and that's us in the Campground.

Thursday we head to the Upper Manistee River
