"APPROXIMATELY 140 MICHIGAN RESIDENTS LIVE on this small peninsula in Lake Erie. If they wanted to go to another part of the state, they would first have to travel south, across the state line into Ohio before going north to return to Michigan. This small exclave known as the “Lost Peninsula” is part of Monroe County and is the southeastern-most corner of the state."

I actually found that to be interesting, but I don't quite know why.

So did you take this picture this year?.
I recall talking to guy who was from out of town taking a picture of that marker.
I grew up in Point Place. And now I live in that peninsula. I call it.... no man's land.

I'm from Michigan and this is an entirely new one on me. We were taught about the Toledo War, which ended up with Michigan being given the U.P. as a consolation prize. Some consolation prize!! This peninsula, though, was never mentioned.
