45th Parallel
As seen on route I-75 south of Gaylord, MI
July 2009
One must wonder: they went through the trouble and expense to make this sign specifically for this spot. Since I had to circle around an exit to come back and take a photograph, I can tell you that the same sign does not exist on the south-bound lane of the same highway. That being said, you have to wonder how much Michigan saved to use a "-" symbol instead of an "&"?
It would have been fun if they had a pullout where you can take your picture with the sign, but no such luck.
I must also note that Wisconsin has no such sign, at least not along route 41, much to my disappointment. Edit - apparently Wisconsin does (see comments), but it's much more subtle! :)

Oh, absolutely there's one along 41 in Wisconsin, just outside Peshtigo. More info here http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/geolwisc/GEOSTOPS/halfway.htm
Excellent, good to know. I was looking for a much more obvious sign - if I ever get up that way again, I'll have to look for that. :)
