Midland County Run

County Complete

This run started on the wrong foot. I was driving through a neighborhood, trying to find a place to park. It was either in front of somebody’s home or in front of a mailbox. I couldn’t find a good place to get over and off the road. I found a backyard that had an area that allowed me to get off the road. So I parked there. I did a couple of things in my car to prepare for the run, then got out of the vehicle. The owner of the property was yelling at me and NOT happy that I parked on his grass. He gave me few “f” bombs, and I was more than happy to find another place to park. I’m sorry that I did that and found a parking spot at a gas station a block away. I took down his address and will send him a card and a gift card of some sort as an apology. But not fun to get greeted in a new community in that way; lesson learned.

I wanted to lead with this picture. Here is a beautiful sign about 3/4 of the way through the run.
Neighborhood with beautiful grass lawns.
Here are some very cool houses on the west side of the town of Coleman.
Huge silos of some sort, maybe grain.
I was downtown on the main drag heading east. There were a lot of cars on this main road.
Considering that we are on the 105th day of 2021, I'd say the Coleman fire crew had many runs.
Saw this and just had to take a closer look.
So impressive! Glad I stopped for a picture!
I loved the birch trees on the east side of town on Saginaw Rd.
I thought this was such a cool name for a road.
I saw this impressive house on the east side of town with a large private pond.
School in the forground football field in the back ground and the water tower in the far back ground!
I love old barns and corn silos.
Far across this field is the express way. I could see cars traveling on it.
Saw another barn/garage toward the end of my run.
I ran past the baseball diamond. I hope it sees some activity in the next couple of months!
Another shot of that water tower up close!
Here is the gas station by the expressway that I had to park at after irritating one of the locals.
Great Design Plan to run the county for this website

Today’s run wasn’t a  planned county. Just one that I wanted to hit that is near the edge of where I’ve hit already. I’m trying to convince Lisa to go with me soon to the thumb area for a weekend and knock a few counties down. I decided to do the town of Coleman. I’ve never really been there, but my parents owned a fantastic home in Hope, and I’ve been to the city Midland a million times. The only thing I know about Coleman is my cousin Keshia is from there.
