Location: Between Cedarville and De Tour Village
Date Planted: July 5, 2005
Distance: Paces from the car
Terrain: Easy
DeTour, Michigan is located on the Eastern Tip of the Upper Peninsula. It is the first Upper Peninsula community to greet the waterway traveler from the lower lakes. It is situated at the Strait of the DeTour, where the magnificent St. Mary's joins Lake Huron. The name was given hundreds of years ago by the old French voyagers as " the turning-point" to Mackinac. DeTour was up and coming long before Detroit or Chicago were dreamed of.
There are excellent docking facilities for smaller power boats as well as for freighters and the passenger steamers plying between this port, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and the Soo. DeTour, Potagannising Bay and Old Ford Drummond are favorite anchoring grounds for yachtsmen from all over the Great Lakes.
Letterbox Clues:
Find the town of Cedarville and travel East down 134 towards Detour Village. On the way, you will pass a sign on the South side of the road for Detour, MI city limits.
Shortly after passing the DNR/State police station on the N side of the road there will be a roadside turnout on the South side. Park your car at the second roadside turnout (the one without the picnic tables) and head on foot towards the large anchor.
Once you find the anchor, you will see pepto and aqua buoy. Go to the back of aqua buoy, stand at the wood base, and face Lake Huron. Take 12 paces towards the water. You will see two large rocks at the base of the hill. The box you seek is located in between these two rocks. Please be discreet, replace the stone, and hide it well.
Enjoy a walk along the shores of beautiful Lake Huron. This is a beautiful spot to watch the sunset.
Come to DeTour By Roy R. Fuller
Along Lake Huron’s northern shore
Runs State Road M-one-thirth-four,
A ribbon over every hill
From “seven-five” to Cedarville.
The scenic roadway then extends
to DeTour Village, where it ends,
But there the corner signs will show
The street becomes Ontario.
The village has a grocery store,
A bank, a school, and much, much more.
Motels and cabins, churches too,
and restaurants to name a few.
A lumber yard, a party store,
An ice cream stand, with treats galore,
A harbor where small pleasure boats
Can tie up to a dock that floats.
For fisherman, and hunters too,
There’s lots of action here for you,
and at a village store you’ll find
Your sporting goods of any kind.
But those who prefer not to be
Involved in much activity,
May count the seagulls as they fly
Or sit and watch the ships pass by.
So, if you want to play or rest,
There is a place to do it best
Just come to DeTour and explore
A village near Lake Huron’s shore.
