a military guy bought this '66 Honda S600 new in Japan, brought it home to the states and drove it for a decade before selling it to a Honda dealership, who has displayed it for 4 decades... and now it's up for sale on BaT

Government Lake in Lake County, Michigan, within Webber Township, on the west side of highway M-37, about one mile north of Baldwin, Michigan.
For over 50 years, it was famous for the historic Government Lake Lodge and Cabins, originally established in the 1930s as a beloved community gathering hub.
Baldwin resident George Duffing established the Government Lake Park in the 1930's, as a privately owned recreation area with a lodge and overnight cabins "built on the high wooded shores of Government Lake."
The resort offered a picnic area, and a bathing beach, along with boating and fishing guides.
The eight cabins along the edge of the lake were described as "one, two and three bedroom, built of varnished logs with hardwood floors and three windows each for ventilation and cool comfort."
