Clare County Run

Creig and I getting ready to do this run. Thanks for running with me!
My grandparents home where my sister Lisa now lives. I remember watching the trains go by as a child through that large window behind the stop sign.
Across the road from downtown. They now have a Caboose on display near where the train tracks were.
Down the now trail is the old water tower. Or maybe it was a coal tower… It’s been there all my life.
the trains would use this early on.
Down past the tower.
Road, I’ve learned that I can’t take pictures while I’m running or they turn out like this…
On to Maple Grove Road.
Coming down near the park.
Park where I played basketball and other stuff as a child.
This is the small ice cream shop my parents owned as a kid. Also the end of my run. I ran around Perch lake, where I used to fish (a lot) as a child.

Really wasn’t much planning for this county. I’ve lived in this county for a few years of my young life. I’ve spent time in Harrison, Clare, and Farwell, but I was introduced to this county by my grandparents home in Lake. This is a small town just outside of Farwell. It has two lakes, Perch lake and Crooked lake. My grandparents owned several homes in this town. I remember this town very well and was glad to run on the rails to trails route. The same route where I used to watch trains pass along as a very young child. Very much enjoyed doing this run as this town brings back so many memories. Also, as a teen-ager my family owned the Dairy Fill, which was a little ice cream shop now called the Whistle Stop. When my parents owned it, we had an arcade in the back room. My parents now live there as well as both sisters.
