I make it a point to return to my favorite roadside attraction destinations at least once every three years. Some of them change, and some of them never change. The only thing that makes me sad are the ones that go away — like | YVONNE STEGALL TRI-COUNTY TIMES Prehistoric Forest in Irish Hills and Deer Acres in Pinconning (which mera, while Stegall smiles for the ca n vo has been slated for reopening for about three years now). De sy, tip e littl a ace. Looking Mystery Spot in St. Ign at ide As a self-proclaimed ‘tourist trap addict,’ I feel I gu t ris tou the h posing wit should share with you my top choices for Michigan’s odd attractions. Dinosaur Gardens — This prehistoric zoo is located at 11160 US Highway 23 S, in Ossineke. Enjoy a walk through the woods where there are giant monstrous dinosaur replicas, and many mosquitoes. The earliest photo I have found of this awesome destination was when I was about 5 years old — probably the first time I went there. See ATTRACTIONS on 2B TRI-COUNTY TIMES | YVONNE STEGALL HONORABLE MENTIONS • Cross in the Woods — A 28-foot-tall crucifixion sculpture located in Indian River. • Castle Rock — A castleshaped rock jutting out over the roadside in St. Ignace. • Mystery Hill — Another mystery spot, this one is located in Onsted. Devon Stegall gets eaten by a dinosaur — there is a lot of interactive fun at Dinosaur Gardens. Yvonne Stegall LIFE STYLE 2B Sunday, August 10, 2014 www.tctimes.com ATTRACTIONS Continued from Page 1B Not only are the dinosaurs fun to look at (and touch), Dinosaur Gardens offers a wide array of fun items inside their gift shop. Call of the Wild Museum For those who do not appreciate taxidermied wildlife, Call of the Wild Museum at 850 S. Wisconsin Ave. in Gaylord is not the destination to visit. According to their website, Call of the Wild opened in May 1965 by Carl and Hattie Johnson and is now operated by their three children. It is an educational exhibit filled with critters and history. Each animal display shares information about their habitat, feeding and mating patterns, and more. While most of the animals are displayed behind glass, there is one room where kids can actually touch a deer, a bear and even a skunk. Sea Shell City One of the most comical, and somewhat less impressive attractions Michigan boasts is the “Man Killing Giant Clam,” located at Sea Shell City. The clam is a crusty white bivalve (long dead) covered in plastic seaweed. This one is an interesting place to stop once, but the attraction is one that has never called me back. Sea Shell City is mainly a gift shop filled with shells, none of which TRI-COUNTY TIMES | YVONNE STEGALL This is the fierce mountain lion visitors see while strolling through the museum. TRI-COUNTY TIMES | YVONNE STEGALL The entrance to Call of the Wild Museum in Gaylord welcomes visitors. comes from Michigan. If you have the time and energy to make a trek across the bridge, St. Ignace offers a bunch of great roadside attractions, including these three: Mystery Spot Mystery Spot, at 150 Martin Lake Road in St. Ignace, is not the only place of its kind, but it is strategically located in an area populated with other roadside attractions.

While I have only been to this one once, it was not my first mystery spot, nor will it likely be my last. The best part? Sitting in a chair that is balanced only with its back legs on a small leg against a wall! Weird Michigan Wax Museum One of my weirdest discoveries when visiting the Upper Peninsula was the Weird Michigan Wax Museum at Martin Lake Rd. & US 2 in St. Ignace. It is home to some of the strangest wax figures ever, including The Snake Princess of Belle Isle and The King of Beaver Island. Each exhibit has some relation to myth, or fact, in Michigan’s own strange history. While this is only a taste of the wonderful oddities in our great state of Michigan, it is surely a list that will get you on the road to find your own beloved tourist traps to visit every few years and share with your children. ‘‘ ’’ SERVICE HOURS Monday: 7am - 8pm Tues - Fri: 7am - 6pm Saturday: 8am - 2pm Sunday: CLOSED www.canever.com 3000 Owen Rd. @ US-23 in Fenton Toll Free 1-855-388-0328 WE’LL MATCH ANY COMPETITORS COUPONS SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ONLINE AT WWW.CANEVER.COM AND CLICK ON THE SERVICE TAB SERVICE COUPON $10 OFF ANY OF THESE SERVICES INSTANTLY ALIGNMENTS, SPARK PLUGS, ALL 4X4 SERVICES, COOLANT & TRANS SERVICES, FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE, A/C SERVICES Good up to $100 off.Please present at write up.

Main Street, Linden, Michigan on Monday, August 25, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. to hear citizen’s comments on continuation of the Byram Lake Improvement Project. The project will be financed by a special assessment district which includes all properties in the city within 500 feet of Byram Lake which abut the lake. A copy of plans and cost estimates for the project are on file with the City Clerk. Treat your Kindergartner to a special message of love and congratulations on the Tri-County Times special Kindergartners page! For a small cost your Kindergartner will get a big thrill and long term keepsake! Your message will be published in the Sunday, August 24th edition. The current aquatic plant control program on Byram Lake is scheduled to end this year. It is proposed to continue the project through 2019 with a combination of herbicide treatments, mechanical harvesting for aquatic plant control and continued water quality monitoring to gauge the effectiveness of the project. Estimated project costs for the proposed project 2015 through 2019 are: Improvement Aquatic Plant Control (Herbicide Treatments/Mechanical Harvesting) Aquatic Plant Control Coordination/Field Evaluations Water Quality Monitoring Administration and Contingency Total Mail the completed form below to : Class of 2027 Cost $27,000 6,000 4,000 3,000 $40,000 In order to ensure assessments levied are proportionate to the benefit derived from the project, it is proposed that lot size be considered when determining individual assessments. Under this plan, a “unit” assessment would be levied against lots with a mean lot width of 300 feet or less. Lots greater than 300 feet in width would be assessed two units in the proposed Byram Lake special assessment district. This equates to a unit assessment of $264.90 per year for 5 years. Any person wishing to comment may do so in person or in writing by addressing written comments to Lynn M. Henry, City Clerk, at P.O. Box 507, 132 E. Broad Street, Linden, Michigan, 48451.
