The End Of Another Year

Posted on December 30, 2022 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Uncategorized .

It’s hard to believe we came to the end of another year. It seems as though the days flew by and I never got to travel as much as I wanted to. I am fortunate I am still able to get out and explore the Great Lakes State and see all the places I have visited over the years. It surprises me I still find so many new and interesting things. Thank you so much for riding along on this journey with me. I am not sure what I will find next year but I figure if I just keep looking I will eventually find it.

P.S. I have also been wondering beyond Michigan this past year and you can see my posts on my other website www.lostinthestates.com 

P.P.S. I hope you have a wonderful new year that brings you great joy and prosperity.

Lost In Ohio

Posted on October 6, 2022 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Uncategorized .

My new book Lost In Ohio: Discovering Strange and Historic Places in the Buckeye State is now available on Amazon HERE

Being a lifelong Michigander and living in the Great Lakes State for over a half century, I know that Buckeyes are mortal enemies of Wolverines and Spartans. I have driven through Ohio many time on I-75 but I enjoyed my time getting off the expressway and exploring Ohio. I drove almost 2000 miles around Ohio visiting unique and interesting places that are under the radar of most tourists. From the hills and forests in the southeast, to the farmland and small towns of the northwest, the Buckeye state is full of historic and fascinating places. If you enjoy my Lost In Michigan books, I hope you will take a look at my new Lost In Ohio book HERE.

P.S. If you have friends or relatives who live in Ohio it would mean a lot to me if you share this with them.

P.P.S Yes I am still doing Lost In Michigan I am just exploring further away to other states to see what I can find.

Like my other books it has stories from all around the Great Lakes State. From the southern border to the tip of the Keweenaw and places in between. I am sure you will enjoy reading it if you liked my other books.

Thank you all so much for purchasing my books and supporting what I do. I don’t get any outside funding, and my book sales help me with expenses to continue writing posts.

Volume 6 is out just in time for your summer travels and I hope you have fun exploring Michigan as much as I do.

P.S. I am working on distributing books to my local retailers. It will take me a few weeks to get books and ship them out to the stores that sell my books.

Wahjamega

Posted on March 7, 2022 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Uncategorized .

Wahjamega Caro Michigan

I drove past Wahjamega complex several times on my way to Caro, I never really stopped to look at it, but I did today and got a few pics from the parking lot. I did not want to wonder around to much since the state still uses some of the buildings and I figure they would not like me roaming around the complex.

The name Wahjamega is an acronym from the initials of three partners who operated a sawmill here: William A Heartt, James A. Montgomery, and Edgar George Avery.

In 1914  a Farm Colony for Epileptics was Established by the state and was devoted to the treatment of epilepsy. Much of the original population of the facility was moved from the overcrowded Lapeer State Home for Epileptics. This facility gained some fame later on as it was one of several facilities that was involved in forced sterilizations that took place under Michigan laws from 1914 to the mid 1960’s. The facility has operated under several names over the years and a portion of it is currently still in operation as the Caro Center.

Lost In Michigan Books are  ON SALE at Amazon. You can see more by clicking HERE
