Location
A field south of Holly, Michigan
Participants
Plans
Drive to Grace Missionary Baptist Church and bike to the hashpoint from there.
Expedition
I arrived at the church parking lot around 4:30pm and planned my route.
The closest public street to the hashpoint was Rattalee Lake Road between Buckhorn Lake and Milford, which was a little over a mile away by road. I chose to walk west along Fenton, then begin biking south on Buckhorn Lake.
Shortly after I crossed the CN rail line, a freight train passed through heading towards Flint which lent itself to a few good photos.
Once I reached the point along Rattalee Lake closest to the hashpoint, I left my bike within view a safe distance from the road and continued on foot. The hashpoint was across and slightly northeast of a small wetlands area with a pond in the middle. Unfortunately, after just a few feet the wet soil became too muddy and deep to travel across without risking safety (or at best, ruining my shoes).
As a final effort, I returned to my bike and traveled north of the hashpoint back to Milford Road. A dry field appeared to lead towards the hashpoint from the north; however, this was private property with posted signage. As such this expedition was not a success.
I made the best of it though: Before leaving, I visited the Holly rail diamond and got some ice cream downtown before a rainstorm rolled through. Better luck next time!
Photos
Probably heading to Dow Chemical if I had to guess.
Just passing through!
The initial approach.
Two wheels will take me no further.
Too swampy to keep going.
277 feet was as close as I could get.
The historic Holly train station.
The Holly CN/CSX diamond junction.
