So after running Capac in St. Clair county. I headed over to Lapeer. This church was one of the things that drew my eye.
This gentleman was watching over me as I ran by his house. His female owner peaked around the bushes to tell me it was okay; I wasn’t in danger. I told her I had taken a picture of her protector! Very cool dog!
I took this photo because of the brick wall. I love brick walls that are shaped like this. I also loved the gate. Such a cool look!
Here was a park I passed at the south side of the lake. I tried but just couldn’t see the lake.
I was towards the southwest side and saw this massive water tower.
Across this super busy road, there was this Hospital… or business.
Once I ran north, I saw the water tower up close. I was hoping to see the lake, but nothing.
I was more toward the North end of this super busy Hwy 24.
Up way ahead is the light where I turn east on Davis Lake Rd.
This was probably Davis Lake Rd, but I’m not 100% sure.
I remember passing this house that looked nice with the lawn taken care of in a simple but complete manner.
I think this was the northernmost section of North Saginaw St. on my path. Looking across the road – Beautiful fields.
I am running South on a steady Rd. But not as busy as the one on the west side. I’m also super bummed that I seen the lake that was pictured on the map.
A little past the halfway point, I saw a community that looked like they had lakefront property, and I was getting excited to see it finally. But when I turned in it wasn’t quite what I expected. It was a trailer park.
As I ran through this trailer park, I was impressed by the people out and about. It showed well-taken care of lots. It turned out to be a very pleasant neighborhood.
I got back on the main Saginaw Rd heading south and was SO bummed that I never saw the lake, and I was pretty much done with most of this run.
Then I passed a running trail heading west! It wasn’t on my map, but it looked like it was headed toward the lake. I decided to take a gamble and run down this path.
Here was the path!
The above photo is of the lake!
Once done taking pictures, I headed south towards my car. So glad to have TWO five ks done.
Once done, I went to my Uncle Mark’s home and was greeted by my Aunt Judy, Uncle Mark, and my cousin Christine was there too with her family! We ate dinner and spoke for the rest of the night. I could kick myself for not getting photos of everyone. But the following day, I took this photo of me and Uncle Mark before taking off before 6 am to do the next 5k (Clinton County).
My aunt and uncle are so talented. My uncle built this home and my aunt Judy does all kinds of crafts: painting needlework, quilting, etc. It was so cool to see all her creations! My uncle Mark also makes all kinds of things out of wood. Frames, bird houses, animals, you name it!
Thank you so much for your hospitality!
The plan was to try and get a 5k around this lake then head to my Uncle Marks house.
