Take the Scenic Route: M-119 Detour Magnet

With a section of M-119's famous Tunnel of Trees route closed for repairs in 2026, we decided to find a little humor in the situation. This illustrated magnet imagines a completely unofficial solution to the detour: launching a muscle car straight across the gap while startled wildlife watches the chaos unfold.

Featuring the M-119 highway marker, Tunnel of Trees sign, and plenty of Northern Michigan personality, it's a lighthearted tribute to one of the region's most talked-about road projects. Whether you navigated the detour yourself or simply appreciate a good local story, this magnet captures a memorable moment in Tunnel of Trees history.
