Michigan's Grand Canyon Is Stunningly Beautiful

The Canyon Gorge and Falls is a wonderful place to visit in the great state of Michigan. If you didn't know that this state had its own Grand Canyon, you have to see it!

Ghost Town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Super IGA Store near Watson, Michigan. Located in Marquette, County near Delta County. A very remote area in my opinion this building is located on a County road. As it has been stated a number of times in the comments. THIS PROPERTY HAS AN OWNER. DO NOT attempt to enter the property or trespass in any way. The local residents do not consider it a ghost town either. When we drove through we were coming from the general direction of Escanaba and headed to Marquette. We ended up taking this scenic drive through the area. I wanted to post this to preserve a bit of history.
