NORTHERN MICHIGAN

I've been all over the United States. Here are some of the best states everyone should visit, from the Midwest to the South and Michigan to Hawaii.

Highway landing The Michigan Air National Guard landed an A-10 Thunderbolt II on a highway Thursday. The Michigan Air National Guard used M-32 to land a jet on a highway and, by doing so, made history, WJBK reported. We successfully landed and generated an A-10 Thunderbolt II from a U.S. Highway today! #NorthernStrike21 Michigan National Guard #ThunderlZ Posted by 127th Wing on Thursday, August 5, 2021They also performed a takeoff of the A-10 Thunderbolt II from the highway. Troopers also had a bit of fun once the plane landed, saying that “no speeding citations were issued.”No speeding citations were issued during the exercise.

The Legs Inn is a summer pilgramage for tourists around the Midwest.

We didn’t tackle the trip with much of a game plan, so I was really happy to fall into this recommendation. OK, one last shot of the black rocks:Presque Isle (Michelle Ganley/GMG photo)4.)
