Say "ya" to da U.P., eh?

The Upper Peninsula is much preferable to almost anything else in the world.

Just sayin'

Pictures will eventually be posted.

You know, I could get on board with that, if it wasn't for that whole "47 feet of white crap in the winter" thing. If I ever moved to the UP, I'd HAVE to become a snowbird!

After it gets high enough, you just put boards on the pathways so they turn into tunnels! Then no more shovelling... :)

I've never been up in the dead of winter but it's certainly on my list of things to do.

You know, it's really not so much the shoveling. It's that it never gets warm enough to MELT the stuff, all winter long! I visited Interlochen in January last year and nearly lost my 100 pound lab in the snow drifts (he loved every minute of it, the goof.) Give me a nice, 54 degree Florida winter any day!

OH MY GOD!!! i'm from the UP!!! i'd move back in a heart beat- i even miss the snow.

i bet the color is gorgeous, and the weather is great....

I was in Iron River. A buddy has a family cabin up there and we were closing it down for the winter. I love the area. The colors were starting to change but it's hard for me to know since I'm color blind. There were definitely some differences though.

Next spring I plan on camping along Lake Superior; starting at Sault Ste. Marie and working west to Copper Harbor.
