We (Piper, the boys, and I) went to Yates Cider Mill yesterday http://www.yatescidermill.com/cider-mill.php . It is in Rochester Hills or Shelby Twp. or something like that. We took the camera but we forgot the memory card for it. Too bad we forgot it because there was some interesting things we saw. The first thing was a giant pair of testicles hanging from someones pickup truck trailer hitch. Jamie said "whats hanging from that guys truck?" and I replied "Looks like a big sack". Always great to have a giant pair of nuts hanging from your truck at a family event. Here is where you can buy them and what they look like http://www.thatsnutz.com/truck-nuts-c-65.html
When we went inside there was a sign on the door that said something along the lines of: If you don't want to be filmed then don't come inside. We thought it was kinda odd until we got inside and noticed they were filming some type of commercial footage or something. I got filmed paying for the cider and donuts. Maybe I will be in a commercial? :)
After we got our Cider & donuts we went for a walk about a mile down a path that was next to the Clinton River. At the end of the path there was a river with stagnant water. Not quite the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. As we were walking back, Piper said "whats that seed pod"? Well, it was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura_stramonium We should have ate the seeds, it would have made the path more interesting. :) We also saw some weird plants growing that looked like bamboo but had the same texture as a green onion. We couldn't figure out if they were Cat tails or reeds or what?
We had a good time and stopped at Buddy's Pizza on the way back. I haven't had it for about 15 years and it was better than I remember it. We got the meat special with mushrooms and Antipasto salad.. Yummy!!!!
On the way back, Piper spotted the Girls Gone Wild bus merging off I-75 on to M-59 West... here is what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRrr97mGipo

Never heard of truck nutz (to glen's surprise)... very amusing post. Sounds like a wholesome day for sure! :)
Couple things I think you're wrong on...
1. The walk wasn't a mile long, maybe a 1/2 mile round trip. It's 1/2 a mile to CVS from our house, was the walk that long?
2. The picture/link you put up of the plant I saw doesn't look anything like the plant/seed pod I saw. Sorry. :(
And one other thing, the bus was pink but nice video anyway. :)
