Just a few pics I took today in Grayling, MI with my mothers new Canon camera. I may buy one for myself as I am pleased with the quality.

Very nice.
It surprised me an object is the control city for I-75 here, and not a town, like Sault Ste. Marie or so. The Mackinac Bridge is still quite a distance away.
Once you get north of the bridge at St. Ignace the control city then becomes Sault Ste. Marie.
Your town looks nice! :nod: I can't wait for a few more pictures, that you have in store. :spin:
I'm impressed roadgeek, you covered the roads well (no bug splats, no windshield smudge, good perspectives, good lightning). Nice job!! :clap:
Thanks for the comments everyone! Here is two more from this batch.

I'll echo the "nice pictures" sentiment. Most of mine have bug splats and windshield smudges. :)
Just a few more pics that I took today in the area.

This is the first reassurance marker for the I-75 / M-55 multiplex heading south. The shadow is the overpass above which carries M-55.
Your pictures look great! You might want to change the thread title..

Ah yes, nice. She should have got a DSLR though. :biggrin:
Need a camera, but not funds
What is the security checkpoint for in the picture with the M-93 South Ends sign?
Froggie is correct, that is the entrance to Camp Grayling.

These were taken with a Kodak EasyShare C713. Although this cam took some decent photos I ended up returning it as it was very slow between shots.

A few years ago I drove to the state line specifically for this photo. Was taken with my trusty Sony Cybershot DSC P-52.
This Historical Marker is at the NB I-75 Rest Area just south of Sault Ste Marie.
