Wondrous Wayside Micro-Sereies Pt. 2—Wonder Wedneday

It's WONDER Wednesday!

This week's WONDER Wednesday is the next installment in our 3-part micro-series on the Wondrous Wayside. The dictionary states a wayside is a noun, which means the side of or land adjacent to a road or path. Under that definition, we must pass hundreds (maybe thousands) of waysides every day on our way to work, school or errands. At TOPOnexus, we're all about slowing down to savor our surroundings. So the next time you're, say, getting a tune-up or killing time between appointments, consider treating yourself to time at a wondrous wayside. They're all around us!

Good things come in 3s: this series includes 3 Top Tips and 3 Wondrous Waysides.

TOP TIP #2

Do a spinnerette. Turn slowly in a circle as you look up, down and all around. What can you see, hear, feel? Sketch or photograph the view.

Featured Wondrous Wayside: Old 31. Before the busy Charlevoix-Petoskey Road was established, early motorists used this tree-enshrined two-track road to travel back and forth. The route marks a traditional Odawa footpath–just a fraction of the trail network they used to migrate throughout Michigan and the Great Lakes. You can still see examples of Crooked Trees along the way, which served as navigational landmarks. Enter Old 31 between Townline and Townsend Roads.
