Well life sure takes interesting turns... I have the opportunity of my lifetime. I am relocating to Michigan. Upper Peninsula. I am looking forward to this like you wouldn't believe...:drool: I am headed out on the 3rd of December and will likely take 20 or so hours to get there. I could go quicker...but the call of nature will prevail, and I am gonna need a nap or 2 along the way. Wish me luck... Beetle
Congrats to you and yours Beetle. Hope everything goes well and you'll be happy in your new location.
Not being very good at US geography, why is it so special?
Good luck to you LB.
You sort of left us hanging. What's the opportunity of a lifetime? Anyway. Congrats and have a safe trip.
Leaving the winter wonder land of NY for the winter wonder land of the Upper Penninsula? Hmmm,, Good luck :)
Good luck.....
Remember that Ohio has some crazy speed traps.
Good Luck! Keep us posted!
The U.P. is really beautiful! Hope you enjoy your new place!
Just visited in-laws just over from UP in northern Wisconsin (Clam Lake). I know why!
Thank you very much. The opportunity IS to move there, and stay. The area is beautiful, the weather is nice and cool, and family will be too far away to just "drop in" for a "couple" of days.
Now when they come to visit, it is much longer, "cause it is too much hassle to go back and forth, let's just stay longer". Don't ask how I know this.Quote:

Howdy!!!...I arrived in Michigan safe and sound early Friday morning...though no saner than when I left. I am now happily situated on the Upper Peninsula...and can look out my kitchen window and see Lake Superior...AWESOME!!! The drive took about 16 hours...not too bad. The weather was clear...and I never wish to drive through Ohio again! Nothing against Ohio...but the Akron/Cleveland stretch during 5 o'clock rush hour is INSANE!!! Who in their right mind puts a 90* leftward curve in the middle of an Interstate Highway??? Holy Carp!!! No wonder that particular curve is called "Dead Man's Curve"...nasty bit of business there... I am impressed with the people who drive that commute every day...though I do question their sanity...:D It is a beautiful area up here...I am gonna love every minute of this new life...and yes i am expecting and welcoming the snow and wind that is on its way...my kind of life I tell you!! :D:D
Welll, I'm glad you're back! thought you'd forgotten all about us! Sounds a lovely place you've moved to.
Gee, about five more hops and you'll be in Alaska. Congratulations, glad the trip went well. Belated Happy Birthday.:)
Welcome back. Glad you had a safe trip. While you were away.
:)) Thank you very much! I am sorry it took me so long to post, pre move and post move have been hectic... but I am getting things organized... and looking forward to some icefishing...in a couple of months. Walleye is on my menue wish list, and trout, perch, pike....
Oh, and I am about to partake in a U.P. staple....pasties...:drool:
UUMMMMM Pasties! :drool::drool::drool:
I may have to make a road trip.
Wife and I ate pasties on our honeymoon in DA UP!
Good Stuff there!!!!

Pasties are a "Stew Pie", "leftover Peroggie", or a meal in a Pastry.
A pie crust type shell filled with meat, turnips, onions, potatoes, vegitables.
In days of old, The silver miners up North carried these into the mines for lunch.
They heated them on a shovel over a lamp for a warm meal.
Some Darn good Eating for sure!

Oh yeah, let me help you folks with pronuciation as well.
The Food "Pasty" in plural "Pasties" is pronounced ( pas-tees )
Not to be confused with a dancers attire pronounced ( paste-tees)

I've a question for our new "Yooper".
Hey Laughing Beetle! What do ya think of Pasties?
I hope you are enjoying your new location.
God had fun making the Superior State.
Get Ready for the season though. Superior whips up quite a winter.
I like you, too.Quote:
