Pic for Siler


I saw this while walking at Trestle Park in Adrian, MI. I think that it's a corporate name that has been carved into the beams of one of the park shelters. I thought that Siler, the creator of the greatlakeshikes yahoo group would get a kick out of it.

Map: Sterling State Park "Secret" Entrance

This is the DNR engineering map of the back entrance to Sterling State Park. It is a quasi-legal connection right now. It can be hiked and biked. A trail user must cross a set of railroad tracks and navigate a gate, but otherwise, it's a pleasant way to go. Click on the map/image for a close-up view.
