Narrative:

The aircraft was on a pleasure flight and short cross country to bad axe, mi. A WX briefing was obtained the local and area NOTAMS were not listing a restricted area and during the flight we noticed some ground activity ahead and we circled the area approximately 4 times. During one circle I noticed a bomb disposal unit and made the decision to leave the area immediately. I added full power started a climb filed an IFR flight plan and contacted the ZOB controller.
