We continued north on US-131 to head to Petoskey in order to catch M-119. On the way over, my mom told me about a place called Deadman's Hill. It is about 30 miles south of Petoskey and is on what's called Deadman's Hill Road.
As the road ends, there is a little park and you see a sign indicating a scenic overlook. In this picture you are overlooking the Jordan River Valley and unfortunately, the picture doesn't do it justice. You really need to see it for yourself.
It is so named because a young lumberjack named Stanley Graczyk died there. In 1910, he was to marry his sweetheart and on the morning of his wedding, he was working these ridges. He was driving a team of horses and a big wheel loaded with timber. The big wheel slipped out of control and ran over him. It was given the name ever since.
