Hey! Not so fast - Strictly not recommended for autum color touring is this high speed travel on Michigan byways. The wise motorist takes it nice and s-l-o-w, especially at this time of year, when every turn in the road turns up a different view of Michigan's autumn color spectacular. The Copper Country has many such scenic roads. [Image of a vehicle speeding down a tree covered road.] Scanned: November 12, 2007 |

This crane, helping remove the viaduct from M26 near Lake Linden, wasnt exactly on the beam today, but it was pretty close. The machine was loading beams from the reinforced concrete viaduct onto a truck when too heavy a load toppled it into this undignified position. It took another crane and one small truck crane to get it back on its feet. The bucket in the picture was not being used, since the beams were being removed in a cable sling.
