I presume that this is the same Silver I'm thinking of.

Yeah, it's the one in the area we're both familiar with.

We're usually
destined to remote points east down Skanee Road but I always slow the
car
as
we cross the Silver. Looks like mighty nice water.

Oddly, it looks better downstream than up. Well, not so odd for this
region......a number of others share this trait.

As I recall, where the Skanee Road crosses the Silver, it's pretty close
to
Huron Bay, no?

Hm.......

It appears that at least one of us is confused. The Silver I'm talking
about has its head about 9 miles northeast of Kenton. The closest it comes
to L'anse is where it crosses 38 about 11 miles to the west. I don't see a
Silver anywhere to the north and east of L'anse on my map. You sure you're
not thinking of the Slate? That crosses Skanee Road about 10 miles to the
northeast of L'anse and then empties into Huron Bay.

Humorous indeed! Neither of us is confused, we are just talking about
different rivers. Topozone claims that there are three "Silver River"s (and
probably countless "Silver Creek"s) in Michigan, all within roughly fifty
miles of each other! Here is the one I was thinking of, which is east and
north of L'Anse:

The third is up on the Keeweenaw.

L'anse was the end of the road for us this time. I've
never yet been up there.

Looks like there is good water- both river and brookie lakes- up there
a-plenty.

And- for me- plenty o' ghosts. Of course, they'll all be speaking Swedish.
