Michigan Mystery #3
My grandfather sometime in the 50's took a camping trip from the Watertown area of Wisconsin into Michigan through Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I'm trying to figure out where these were taken, if anyone lives near these areas would you mind taking some current photos and sending them my way. View full size.
Was wrong about the date
Along with the photos, Dad found a permission my great granddad had to sign for my granddad. It was dated May 18, 1949
Tower Road - Tower Bar
Agreed that it is Manitowish, WI - near the Michigan border. Attached is a map with a star at Winegar, WI and Winchester is not that far away.
BTW, all 3 of your photos say the trip was in the 1950s, yet I only see 1940s and earlier cars.
That-a-way
Everything seems to be off to the right.
The Tower Bar
The location of this image is 163 County Road W, Manitowish Waters, WI. The Tower Bar is now called Artist's Palette according to Google Street View. (Gives Google an affectionate pat)
