The Secret Michigan Location Revealed

Posted on March 24, 2020 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Giveaways .

Time to reveal the answer to the clues of the secret location and announce the winner of the book giveaway from my post HERE

Above the hand and below the brown river is a place where smoke once rose. It is where the boys worked in the land of the great Indian chief.  They guarded the enemy along the road that goes on forever.

Most people figured out Above the hand is in reference to the Upper Peninsula.

The Brown River is the Tahquamenon River the color of the water is a brown rootbeer color because of the tannins from the cedar swamps

Where the smoke once rose is for an old stone chimney

Where the boys worked is for the CCC camps during the depression.

The land of the Indian Chief is for Hiawatha National Forest.

They guarded the enemy because it was a POW camp in WWII

The road that goes on forever is for M-28 because if you have ever driven that road it seems like it goes on forever.

The answer to the riddle is Camp Raco, If you want to know more about it you can read my post HERE

If you want a book I am selling them on my website again. I was using amazon but they have slowed down shipping on books so I am selling the books that I have in stock for my presentations that were canceled. If you want to order one you can do it HERE I ship them media mail from Saginaw so if you live in Michigan you should receive them in a few days. For a list of local retailers that sell my books you can click HERE I hope you will support them and other local businesses when things change for the better.

I had about 15 people post the correct answer in the comments and chosen at random is Carl Cole, Please email me at mike@huronphoto.com with your shipping info and I will send out your book.

If you like this contest let me know in the comments and I will do more.

The Secret Book Giveaway

Posted on March 20, 2020 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Giveaways .

It’s been a long time since I have done a book giveaway and I needed something to take my mind off of everyday life. I have come up with what I hope is a fun way to give away a book. Inspired by Byron Preiss and his book The Secret  I have devised a plan. I would have liked to hide a book somewhere for someone to find, but I figure I can do it virtually so no one has to go anywhere. If you can decipher the following sentences and tell me where in Michigan I am referring to please comment below.

Above the hand and below the brown river is a place where smoke once rose. It is where the boys worked in the land of the great Indian chief.  They guarded the enemy along the road that goes on forever. 

I am not sure how hard or easy this will be so I am gonna pick the winner at random from all the correct responses on Monday the 23rd of March. If no one guesses the correct location I will extend the contest with some clues.

For the winner, I will send a Lost In Michigan Volume 2 book. You can learn more about my books and where to purchase them HERE

P.S. I will give you one hint and tell you it is a location I have posted about on my website.

Thank you for Subscribing to Lost In Michigan, If you have not subscribed yet, It would mean a lot to me if you did.
