Found a Thread at photo.net where people suggest places to photograph (and hence probably visit in general) around the Michigan area.

I feel like I’ve neglected my time in the area and not given it a real chance, so I’ll have to start going down this list and checking sites off.

And found out today our Admin Asst., who has lived in the area her whole life, has never been more than 10 miles west of where she grew up/lives.
