Michigan-upper peninsular

[jackvdb@gmail.com]

Pete and Donna, 2-3 years ago we spent some time in the U. P. (upper peninsular) with 3 other coaches. Lots to do and see. At the east end try for the little town of Hessel. A wooden boat show that attracts 130 classics. 3 days Aug. 9-11
Spend a little time in Sault Staint Marie and watch the great lake freighters lock through. If you time it right you'll see 1,000 ft ships. There is a web site to check on ship traffic.
There are nice parks in Munising, see Pictured Rocks, Marquette, Houghton, take a copper mine tour, drive up to Copper Harbor, see Lake of the Clouds in Ontonagon, , and Fayette, an old pig iron harbor.
The weather is usually in the 70's day time. Evenings are cool and great for camp fires. Be sure to try the miner's lunch. They're called
pasties, a "hot pocket with meat, potatoes, and veggies."
Oh, and if you can pronounce all the towns correctly you are from Michigan. The U-pers call us lower peninsular people "trolls" because we live beneath "the Bridge".
