Upper peninsula of Michigan

Just checking to see if anyone is out there!

 

hey where you at? lake effect -eh

 

Munising... lots of lake effect

 

I love it up there! I was born in St. John’s just north of Lansing.

I have friends that live up in Escanaba. I miss hiking up there with them!

 

Heading to esky thursday to get my bed line-x'd and get a quote on wheels powder coated

 

Originally from a town 20 minutes south of the Bridge so I'm still considered a "Troll" but I've always loved the U.P. I actually tried a semester at Northern before tucking tail from the cold and heading back to Michigan State. You folks are hardy.

 

Yea still a troll but welcomed!

 

We got dumped on this winter, but the snow didn't start until mid january which is quite unusual

 

I have family in Houghton with a cabin in Eagle River (close to Copper Harbor). I'm from Ohio but have been going to the UP for MANY years! Been to/thru Munising many times. It's about a 12hr drive for us but well worth it - at least during the couple "warm" months out of the year

 

Welcome!
Absolutely love the UP!!!!


Lol I thought this was your first post !!!
But anyhow!
Do you ever get up to High Rock Bay?

 

Heck ya, break out the sled for one last rip.

I'll be up in 2 weeks to complete in Bessemer at the Red Bull 400 at Copper Peak.

 

I love the western UP. that and the border of northern wisco and northern wisco itself are absolutely gorgeous. My drive over to Rhinelander to pick my truck up was awesome!

Also love Copper Harbor!

 

In Ohio here...most of my sledding is in the northern lower (Cadillac, irons) but I'd love to get to the up someday. I'll look you up!

 

i just sold my ski doo long track this year. you can rip ANYWHERE with a 146 154 track up here. I loved my 146 track. when you get a chance, come up

 

My stepson was stationed with the USCG for about 6 years in Traverse City, MI on a SAR helo crew. He loved it!

 

Even though TC is not in the UP its one of the gorgeous spots of michigan. I like to take a cruise down that way once a year and go from orchard to orchard along the back roads. town is beautiful as well... But ill let it stay in the LP

 

Yeah... the Cherry Festival thing there is epic!

 

I've never been... traverse city trading company sells a jalapeno cherry bbq sauce (i believe that's what it is) epic!

 

Hey fellow UPer. I’m in Iron Mountain. We got blasted with snow also starting in January.

 

i got a good buddy from college living that way and i make it about once or twice a year

 

i golf a lot and i really like the timberstone golf course

 

Another Iron Mountain here. Welcome!

 

home of izzo and mariucci

 

I'd like to visit the UP. Any places you'd recommend?

 

Paradise, Copper Harbor, the whole keweenaw peninsula maybe mass city. Munising is a huge tourist destination. we get upwards of 30k people of 4th of July day alone. from about June to late September we get gobs and gobs of visitors

 

hit highway 123 for fall colors. you will be so thankful you did

 

Highway 2 along Lake Michigan (I think it's HWY 2). Go across the bridge to St Ignace, stop for a Pasty and then go left. It's a beautiful drive along Lake Michigan. Sandy beaches and you can just pull over and park your truck. Then go North and check out Lake Superior. It's magic up there.

 

That's the troof, troof

 

Spent a year or so in Marquette many years ago. Great community and some of the most friendly people. Is the Pasta Shop on 3rd still around?

 

We have two seasons, winter and 4th of July.
