#UpNorth you're at READY.

The “Ready, Set, Go” system is a three-stage warning used to signal escalating flood risk and guide residents on when to prepare and evacuate.

The ready mark indicates residents should plan or pack for possible evacuation.

“Set” is if water is six inches below the top of the dam and predicted to top the dam within two days.

It means to prepare your family pets and cars for potential evacuation.

“Go” is if water is an inch below the top of the dam with a high probability of topping it.

Red Barn on Riggsville Road

Riggsville Road is a main artery in Cheboygan County connecting Cheboygan Michigan to Pellston Michigan. Its upper rural Midwestern America in all it's beauty and glory.
Large expanses of land dotted with farmhouses and barns scattered around the rolling hills. Hard working people live out here and a few crazies too.

Gray Barn

The Gray Barn out on Riggsville Road is iconic to me, as is Riggsville Road.
This structure fits into the surrounding area as well as any other farm house or out building. The acreage is large as the land is cheap.
Life is simple out here and you need to keep things basic. Good hardworking people live out here on Riggsville Road.

Red Barn

I was on a mission when I captured this image of a Red Barn in Levering Michigan. The mission was to capture pictures of old barns and I had found exactly what I was looking for.
This barn reflects everything I was looking for in a barn, the color red, the sloped roof, the big barn doors, out on the countryside in the middle of a pasture with dark blue skies framing the building.

Horton Bay General Store II

The Horton Bay General Store is located in Northern Michigan and is located on the Boyne City/Charlevoix Road in the village of Horton Bay. The village is so small that most people might not even know that they are in a village as the population of Horton Bay is a big 38 living souls.
