MUGGLES HAVE STOLEN-WILL REPLACE AND HIDE DEEPER OFF THE BEATEN PATH...SORRY. :O(
On US-23 heading north. You'll enter the Smallest City in Michigan.
Turn South onto the street named after our state
Two canoers on a post marks the entrance gate
Park to your right, marching by the rocks
Counting one, two, three, until you get to sixteen
Now take 65 paces along the tree line to the tree with trunks of three
Now look under the chunk of stones, that's were the box will be
Omer was founded by George Gorie and George Carscallen, who set up a sawmill along the Rifle River in the mid-1860's. The town was originally named Rifle River Mills, but Carscallen, the first postmaster, wanted to rename the town Homer. However, he found a post office in another town called Homer, Michigan and simply dropped the leading H, producing the final name. Omer was incorporated as a city following the lumber boom of 1903.
During the summer, Omer is a popular weekend getaway for those looking to unwind by canoeing or tubing down the scenic river. There are also miles of unspoiled forests surrounding the city that bring in deer hunters from around the country in the fall. Hunting is such a popular sport that the local school in Twining, Michigan closes for the opening day of deer season rather than face the 50% or more absentee rate that would otherwise occur. Winter also brings snowmobilers and ice fisherman to the surrounding area, though not typically the city proper.
