Patsy called and said Tony told her they was a new housing development on Grandpa's place at Sunny Lane. I drove over yesterday and took a look. I think it is actually on the place after Grandpa's which was the Myers place. George said it was on land that Lois Morris sold before she died.

Anyway, this is Grandpa's house that he built.




This is the sign going into the 'subdivision'. There is nothing there except this sign and some nice new roads. To get to the road, you turn off the Denver Alpena road on the second road to the left past where the Sunny Lane church/school house was before it burned. I actually think it is the first real road to the left because I think the first road is actually just a lane to a house that was built in the last 10 years or so. The road is marked county road 849. About 100 yards down the road it forks. To the right is an old lane that dead ends at a house about 2 miles back to the east? There were two old home places that had burned along this road. All that was left were a few pieces of the foundations and the daffodils blooming all over the place. To the left is a new road leading off up the hill towards Grandpa's old place. About 200 or so yards up the road forks again with the lane to the left leading off down towards the main road in front of Grandpa's house and the road to the right leading up the hill towards the back fence. I took the right road and then walked up to the old fence. I could see David Combs fields (the old Jack Robertson's place) across dry creek from there.



this is the lane leading from Pete Bell's old place down towards Grandpa's house. You can click on it and it will be larger. The dark spot of trees on the left edge is the field in front of Grandpa's house. the new development (minus any houses, only a road) can be seen toward the right of the picture in the background. Pete Bell's place was a mess with trash and junk everywhere.





This is the view from the back fence looking off towards dry creek and the rock quarry. I could not recognize anything in the view, but I know my place is just below the trees on the hills somewhere on the left side of this photo.
