Abandoned Building Route Between Gaylord & Alba, Michigan
Here's a fun little Michigan roadtrip for ya.
Take US-127 to US-75 all the way to Gaylord. Take M-32 to M-42 (Alba Highway) and follow it all the way to Alba. Along the way, you'll see many cool abandoned homes and buildings, and a couple of graveyards.
However, one of the absolute coolest things along the way is something you can only see from a satellite photo: some Christmas tree patches that are shaped in the form of "USA," a flag with stripes and one star and a cross.

Once you get to the tiny town of Alba, you'll wanna explore the area: there are old abandoned homes & buildings a-plenty.
In the 2010 census, Alba only had a population of 295. Pay a visit soon.....it makes a great little Michigan roadtrip and who knows how long these great old abandoned structures will stay standing! Take a look at the photos below...
