This micro is located at the end of Tiernan Rd. in the Marquette Industrial district. There is only one way in or out, hence the name of this cache.
The container is somewhat smaller than a film canister. There is room for only a log sheet. You will need your own writing tool. There aren't many hiding places here, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure this one out.
I don't know much of the history of this area, but there are several large companies represented here including:
DOW and SC Johnson & Son.
Some interesting Bay City facts:
Bay City was first established in 1837, and was incorporated as a city in 1865.
Bay City was originally known as "Lower Saginaw," and fell within the boundaries of Saginaw County until Bay County was organized in 1857. It was at this time that the name was changed to Bay City. While Saginaw had the first white settlement in this area in 1819, larger ships had difficulty navigating the shallower water near the Saginaw settlement. Due to this fact, many of the early pioneers moved to Lower Saginaw as it became clear its deeper waters made it a better location for the growth of industry which relied on shipping. By 1860, Lower Saginaw had become a bustling community of about 2,000 people with several mills and many small businesses in operation. In 1865, the village of Bay City was incorporated as a city. Rapid economic growth took place during this time period, with lumbering, milling, and shipbuilding creating many jobs. The early industrialists in the area used the Saginaw River as a convenient means to float lumber to the mills and factories and as a consequence amass large fortunes. Many of the mansions built during this era are registered as historical landmarks by the state and federal government.
