I didn’t have a game console growing up so this 80486 computer and Shareware games was the only way I would play …
Drove this weekend to Port Huron. My last trip up there was almost a year ago. I journaled that trip here. I am not going to write a full journal but post some shots I took this time using my 6dmarkii. A few shots are from Port Sanilac.
