I notice in your picture of the benchmark that it is spelled "Brier Hill". Do you think this is a typo? I can't find any reference to it with that spelling. I do realize that they are two different Briar Hills.ameliabedeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242348814769389500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-7951570420156837762022-04-27T14:47:13.285-04:002022-04-27T14:47:13.285-04:00I have 10 acres on M 115 near the seasonal road (2...I have 10 acres on M 115 near the seasonal road (2 miles from the Roundabout) the peak of Briar Hill is a nice 3 mile walk for me.<br />I walked it for the first time last Summer and will probably do it again this year.

Our first night we stayed in Cadillac and read about the highest elevation point of lower Michigan being near Cadillac. So the next day that was our plan. We weren't sure where it was or how to get there. I Googled it and found your blog. Which IS AMAZING! We would never have gotten anywhere close to it without this site! Thank you so much for the detail. We would jump up and down every time we found one of your "clues" from all the photos you have. It was such a great adventure we had and loved that we has my phone to guide us via your blog. We took our pictures by the old fire tower markings and had so much fun climbing over and under all the sand hills and logs on the what used to be road. Thanks again! You made our trip one to remember for ever!Michelle Chttp://irreplaceable-is-being-different.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-27778733618688503972013-04-28T14:04:27.011-04:002013-04-28T14:04:27.011-04:00hello sharkbytes its dennis the vizsla dog hay tha...hello sharkbytes its dennis the vizsla dog hay that luks like a fun playse to wawk!!! dada sez it is a shaym the fire tower is not their ennymore he sez that on his fayvrit hike in the mithikal land of noo york up rondaxe mowntin that at the verry top their is an old fire tower wot yoo can stil klime to git a gud vyoo of the surrownding layks and mowntins of the adirondaks but i do not no why he wood want to klime stairs after kliming a mowntin he is so silly!!! ok byeThe Oceanside Animalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894063884048051561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-86624365051304435102013-04-28T10:52:40.276-04:002013-04-28T10:52:40.276-04:00good weather, good friend and good hiking, who cou...good weather, good friend and good hiking, who could ask for anything moreAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-66325646988311281752013-04-28T09:07:57.783-04:002013-04-28T09:07:57.783-04:00So you may be suggesting that this might not be a ...So you may be suggesting that this might not be a winter-time walk.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.com
