Road trip to Yates Cider Mill

Doug Lauzon | Sunny and cool.
With Fall around the corner, today was the perfect day for an inland road trip by car to the Yates Cider Mill. Nothing like a cool glass of fresh apple cider and a warm old fashioned donut. The mill opened in 1863 as a grist mill and in 1876 became an apple cider mill, producing cider pressed by water power from the Clinton River. The river flows from over twenty miles inland to its mouth at Anchor Bay, just off Lake St Clair. We visited the nearby Stony Creek Metro Park which was the location of Doug's five year high school reunion. Many memories of times we had with friends here in Michigan make our days here so special.
