Gaylord

This past weekend I went up to my girlfriends cabin in Waters, a little ways south of Gaylord. We ate out in Gaylord so I thought I would take some pictures of downtown since I was there.

Some more from Gaylord:

These 2 are of the Au Sable in Grayling:

The rest of these are from the town her cabin is in (Waters)

This use to be Henry Ford's:

Gaylord loks like a nifty town, never been in it myself, but have passed by it many times, i love that topography up there.

my family has a cabin somewhere in the vicinity of Gaylord. Quaint town, in some aspects, kinda reminds me of Frankenmuth

Thanks. I couldn't believe how clear the water looked up there. We didn't swim in it though. In Waters there is a clubhouse with a nice pool that we swam at.

And that's a requirement in the city code for downtown structures. Interestingly, looks like several buildings got grandfathered in.

On a business trip in January my group went to Gaylord one day and Frankenmuth the next. I like those billboard signs with the pitched roof, but imagine they would be laughed out of a real Alpine burg.

edited for spelling after I cleaned my glasses!

Gaylord is near my hometown. My dad has to travel there a lot for work. It serves as a regional hub for a lot of Northern Michigan. I hope to pass through it at some point this summer. I haven't been there in a while. It's also where the Archdioscese for Northern Michigan is, so I've visited the cathedral there a bunch of times.

Great pictures Zach! Love that old church. Man, do I miss that brick and limestone construction.
