Comment Hi! It might be nice to mention what country it goes through. While I know what country, others might not! Sarah (talk) 22:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Article size and date check out, hook is referenced to the local tourist development council, image is Commons and appropriately licensed; no apparent CP/CV concerns (one quoted quote is appropriately quoted). Looks good to go. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:57, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

I pulled this out of the prep area after seeing that the only source for the hook fact is a personal website (see this page for indication of the website ownership) -- not a particularly reliable source (although the site seems pretty solid). Also, the hook (and the associated sentence in the article) is essentially copied from the source, which states "Highway 13 is considered the main north-south artery of the Hiawatha National Forest (America's LEAST visited National Park)", except that the hook changes "national park" to "national forest". (IMO, "considered the main north-south artery of the Hiawatha National Forest" is not the sort of text string that justifies a quotation.) --Orlady (talk) 03:45, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that the H-13 county highway in Michigan is concurrent with Federal Forest Highway 13 within the Hiawatha National Forest? Dough 48 72 04:01, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
ALT2 ... that Federal Forest Highway 13 (pictured) in the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan crosses the Sturgeon River on a T-beam bridge built in 1941? Dough 48 72 04:53, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

ALT2 is OK. I can't find an explicit source to support ALT1, but it's OK on an AGF basis. However, I find it boring. ALT2 is supported and is more interesting. --Orlady (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
