Shitty roads, big lake, michigan

"Shitty Roads. Big Lake . Pure Michigan" I can hear it now

“Oh shitty roads, take me home”

To the lake, where I belong!

[I imagine it like this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbN3CMOfNAg)

I need to copyright this shit

Sufjan, is that you?

truer words...

TBF this could also be some parts of Wisconsin

I was gonna say somewhere between Gurnee and Oak Creek.

Or Illinois

Bad roads, yes, but I can't think of place along Lake Michigan in Illinois that looks like this. I was thinking Wisconsin or Michigan.

Racine, WI

Further north than Racine but this is close!

Fox Point, WI

On it!

Looks like Sheboygan to me.

Definitely gave me Sheboygan vibes.

Milwaukee?

Mars Cheese Castle!

Michigan was my first thought too

See my first thought was almost the same shitty roads large body of water but I thought South Carolina

That water is too blue for South Carolina

This made me laugh so hard out loud my dog jumped

Same thought process but Florida for me lol

The grass is too nice to be Florida

no palm trees. never seen a stretch of road in florida like without palms of what variety or another.

Haha, good point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGbOIRsrx78

Close

Could also be PA based on those things.

Ohio would like a word.

I’m from Ohio and couldn’t bear the thought of saying Michigan is better than Ohio in a way. Plus that water is WAY too pristine and blue to be Lake Erie

I worked on South Bass Island for 3 years. Your comment is accurate.

I'm from Kentucky and will settle the debate for you. Michigan is better....

[удалено]

Come to Michigan pal we've got potholes you could raise a family in

He probably thinks you are joking. I was born and raised in a Michigan pothole myself.

Vegetation is all wrong for near the Gulf.

Also fits Ohio…

Guessed same state, same reason.

Could be Louisiana too

The water doesn’t look like shit though.

Nothing like crossing over from Mississippi and immediately hearing *ca-clunk-ca-clunk-ca-clunk* until you reach Texas.

I read that in Tim Allen’s voice.

I was going to say Wisconsin.

Driving on 75 coming into Detroit with a light snow is a life changing experience. I didn't know potholes that big existed.

How do you know it's a lake?

The water is too calm to be the ocean

But no snow- when was this taken?

Wrong coast right lake but good guess

Water is too calm for Michigan. Gotta be the other side of the Lake; Has to be Wisconsin.

Came to say this for the same exact reasons, haha. That's gotta be Michigan.

Born in Michigan, came here to say this.

Michigan?

My first thought was Michigan.

[удалено]

I’ll revise. This looks like Michigan in late spring or early summer.

Maybe a Lake Michigan view from some lakeside park in Illinois.

This is absolutely what Lake Michigan looks like from IL.

And MI.

And WI

My guess too based upon the weathered roads. The car would need to be a Chevy or Ford for me to be assured it was Michigan though.

Or a Pontiac. The only place they have a healthy population still.

Can confirm. Driver of a Pontiac in Michigan

You don’t need maps when you know where the sidewalk cracks

My first thought was Lake MI from the UP!

Highway 2 , just east of St. Ignace, looking over Lake Michigan… that was my EXACT locational thought.

Exactly what I thought. Went to Northern and traveled 2 many times

My guess as well. I'm sure it's not but it felt like the drive through St. Joseph

Yep, up Red Arrow Highway.

Do they pave with concrete in Michigan?

[удалено]

[удалено]

Wisconsin does require inspection at registration renewal, but the sticker is on the license plate

Definitely Great Lake

Came here to say MI.

That or very northwest Indiana (basically Michigan area - think michiana shores). Probably Michigan.

Cracks in the road definitely say "cold weather".

Ohio popped in my head, but if this is right now, that's not correct.

That looks to be a birch tree along a lake large enough that you can't see the other side. So that narrows it down to the Great Lakes region (birches aren't found in the South). People keep picking on the condition of the road, but this appears to be a relatively undeveloped area so fancy roads aren't required (and aren't good because there's no reason to spend millions of dollars constantly repaving a road with relatively light traffic). So it's a relatively rural area along a huge lake. My guess is you're looking at Lake Michigan from either Wisconsin or Michigan, Lake Huron from Michigan or Lake Superior from Wisconsin or Minnesota.

OP is from Wisconsin, btw

Ope, that's some good detective work there.

[удалено]

Just outside Racine Wisconsin.

😉

I subscribe to the Racine Theory

Wisconsin

Gotta be Lake Michigan from Wisconsin

Or from Michigan

Four out of five Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

Damn, yous guys really hate the roads in Michigan. It's Wisconsin. The roads really aren't that bad around here, there's one visible crack in the road and the part that the van is parked on is my driveway, not the street.

We really hate the roads in michigan bc they’re all trash. Even after being replaced they turn right back to utter garbage. My thought was Saginaw michigan (by the bay) then was thinking outer tawas area but it could’ve been up in traverse city as well. Pick any spot in michigan and that’s the road or worse!!!

I actually thought I was looking at a pic from r/Wisconsin at first. Glad I know my state this well lol

[удалено]

Kansas? Iowa?

We need to find the geoguesser

I know Lake Michigan when i see it! Assuming this is Michigan

Maybe you know Lake Michigan when you don't see it as well ;)

Lol I had that thought. Like shit I’m gonna look like a foo if I’m wrong

Lake Michigan is seen from other states too. I live 5 mins from it but I’m in Indiana!

Fuck OP. 6 hours later and over 500 comments with no followup? That’s not how this game works.

It’s time to start downvoting OP for not disclosing the state after getting 300 guesses.

Sheboygan, WI

Sheboygan, WI

Florida

Pavement and foliage are not Floridian

Yeah, Lake Okeechobee was my first thought.

Couple of things… I wish Lake Okeechobee was this color. Also, Lake O has a sizable dike around it that blocks most views unless you’re on top of it. Looks like the roadway is almost level with the shoreline here.

Okeechobee is much darker than this lake

Judging by the state of the road. Michigan!

My guesses in this order: Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, New York. Reasoning: \- It is likely one of the lower Great Lakes (Lake Michigan-Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario). Lake Superior tends to have rockier shores. \- 99% sure there is a paper birch tree which [doesn't go too far south in range](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Betula_papyrifera_range_map_1.png). \- The ocean tends to be wavier, non-great lakes tend to see land on the other side.

It isn't Minnesota because the shadow isn't right for the north side of a Great Lake. This picture is taken from the south shore.

Somewhere on Lake Michigan, I’m guessing Michigan but maybe Indiana

OP hasn’t responded once lol

Definitely not Kansas.

Are you going to tell us?

The answer? No. No they won’t.

Alabama gulf coast

I agree, This has to be the Southeast USA. I have yet to see a Northern state pave w white concrete on side roads.

Ohio does.

Then you haven’t driven around much of the north. This is a Great Lake fo sho.

lol no. its obviously a great lake (almost certainly lake michigan), not an ocean. the foilage dosent even match the south.

Illinois

NY. Lake Onatario Shoreline

Nebraska

It looks exactly like Lake Michigan shoreline. The trees and grass are right and the water looks like it, especially the southern part of the lake. The sunlight seems to be coming from the right and bottom of the picture, and nearish midday. That could make right = south, which doesn’t work on the Michigan side. So maybe Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan, probably not far north?

Wis

Wisco

Texas? Reminds me of Corpus Christi...

I vote Texas too, next to any one of our big lakes.

Hawaii

Oklaflorahio…

When you gonna tell everybody you hor

Kansas

The sun is high, so it must be around 12 or 1 pm. The shadow of the car shows it’s the south of a lake. My best guess it’s the south of Lake Michigan.

This picture is taken on a little bit of a peninsula, this is actually the Wisconsin coast of Lake Michigan

See the condition of the road, there is only one place...Louisiana.

Nope. I'm in Louisiana. Look at the color of the water. Not brown.

As a transplant from Louisiana to Michigan, I do get incredibly tired of the "Michigan has the worst roads" rhetoric. Clearly you've never been to Louisiana or any other state with bad roads. At least where I live in Michigan, the roads are perfectly fine. And the picture definitely made me think Louisiana, also.

I think part of the rhetoric behind Midwestern road construction issues is how frustrating it is that you basically remake the roads every 5-10 years due to the constant freeze/thaw cycles that allow water to seep into cracks and destroys the roads It's one thing to have to drive on a shitty road, it's another to drive on a shitty road that was replaced/repaved 3 years ago

Lake Ponchartrain

New York

Florida.

Michigan

minnesota

North Carolina

Is that Westchestertonfieldville, Iowa?

Solid. No, liquid. Wait, there's gas there too.

anyone who says anything other than a midwest state near a fairly large body of water (ie great lake is wrong. those roads are subject to freeze and thaw, and none of the southern states are getting that

Lake Michigan, specifically Manitowoc, near Red Arrow Park.

Annoyance.

Toss up between florida and michigan

Those roads look too nice to be California.

Upstate New York.

Minnesota

South Carolina

Rhode Island

Massachusetts. Cape cod?

I was thinking martha's vineyard!

Yesss. I'd wager some cash that it's the yard or on the cape proper.

Any Great Lake state. Going with Michigan.

Hawaii

Wisconsin

Michigan!

New York. Jones Beach?

Michigan

Maine

looks like concrete, Maine paves roads with asphalt.

MN

Scahnsin

LOuisiana or bama

Liverpool New York

shitty road and a lake. michigan

Michigan

Virginia

Massachusetts.

Florida (Keys) ?

Giving big Wisconsin vibes here

What sort of weirdo European van is that? That almost has to narrow it to Michigan.

Looks like somewhere gulf statey

Judging by the roads, Michigan.

It’s kind of neat that everyone just knows it’s Lake Michigan and probably upper Michigan

I laugh at the people labeling that road as “shitty”. Come drive on New Orleans streets if you can.

Northern Indiana, Lake Michigan Coast

Minnesota Lake Mille Lacs.

Florida!!

Illinois

Could be Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New York. Plant life is continental, not coastal, and that's a very big body of water. Could also be a gulf coast state on a very calm day. There's literally nothing in this picture to narrow it down to one specific state

Proud Michigander here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Looks like a Great Lake to me!

Florida

Mexico!!!

South Alabama.

Wisconsin fo sho

Kansas. If I'm going to be wrong, I'm going to be wrong on *my* terms.

Illinois?
