Two of these assisted suicides took place in an area where I frequently bike, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dnr.state.mi.us\/parksandtrails\/Details.aspx?id=435&#038;type=SPRK\">Bald Mountain State Recreation Area<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dnr.state.mi.us\/parksandtrails\/Details.aspx?id=323&#038;type=SPTR\">North Unit<\/a>, located just off of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paintcreektrail.org\/\">Paint Creek Trail<\/a> in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lake_Orion,_Michigan\">Lake Orion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the locations along this trail are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dnr.state.mi.us\/parksandtrails\/Details.aspx?id=97&#038;type=SPCG\">two rustic cabins<\/a>. The one pictured above, Cabin #2, was the place where Dr. Kevorkian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.people.com\/people\/archive\/article\/0,,20111247,00.html\">helped Marjorie Wantz and Sherry Miller end their lives<\/a>. Knowing their story, never having visited them, and out riding the trail alone yesterday evening I decided to detour past the cabins and take a look around. This photo was taken then, just as I was to head back out to the trail. The cabins are unremarkable, and appear to contain simple wooden bunks and a general open area with a chimney on one end, nice looking fire pits, and easy (albeit rather unmaintained) access to Tamarack Lake.<\/p>\n<p>(Please note that I&#8217;m not completely certain this is Cabin #2 as they are not numbered, but since it&#8217;s the second one on the road I&#8217;ve made that presumption.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turn your time machine back to 1991 and I&#8217;m sure that few of you will have difficulty remembering Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the pathologist who (per&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2010\/05\/26\/cabin-2-at-bald-mountain-state-recreation-area-north-unit\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Cabin #2 at Bald Mountain State Recreation Area, North Unit<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,27,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cycling","category-health","category-politics","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2573"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2754,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2573\/revisions\/2754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
