I didn't get the warmest reception at Pontiac. Their Union is having issues with the city and they seemed suspicious of anyone with a camera. They would only pull the rigs straight out the door and I almost had to beg just for that!

My next stop was Armada. On the way, I drove by the new Washington Township FD station. There was some sort of activity going on as there were tons of people there and the parking lot and ramp were full of vehicles. I kept going....

From Armada I went to Memphis. I had a contact there, but he didn't answer his phone, so I left a voicemail. There wasn't anyone around when I arrived, so I called him again, still no answer. I waiting around for a bit, called one more time and moved on, south to Richmond. No one was at Richmond either. I decided to go back towards Memphis, then west to Almont and north to Imlay City. As I left the city limits of Richmond, my contact at Memphis returned my call and said he'd be at his station when I got there.

My contact at Memphis called a buddy of his at Richmond, who met me when I got to the station.
