[edit] US 131 issue

There is a vast discrepancy between the text I found here (which claimed that US 131 ended in St. Ignace at US-2) and the research I conducted (and put into the article) that says US 131 ends in Petoskey. Anybody have some wisdom on this? 7&6=thirteen (talk) 21:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)Stan

Whomever added that line to the article was grossly mistaken. It used my website as support, but as the webmaster (and after I did a search on that page to see if something I wrote gave the wrong impression) I can state that US-131 has never gone anywhere near Mackinaw City. It has never existed north of its present northern terminus at Petoskey. I have removed the offending line from the Mackinaw City article. If anyone can find anything in the US-131 route listing on my website that gives the impression that the route existed north of Petoskey, please tell me and I'll reword it.
