Although I somehow got talked into going home for Christmas this year Flying through Detroit to Appleton WI, then through Chicago on the way home. Could I hit another commie hellhole if I tried???



Oh we know it exists,

So this makes you a Yooper .....Well ex-Yooper

Oh, I know EXACTLY where it is 'cause the missus & I try to get up to the Keweenaw every year. Hwy. 26 out of Copper Harbor south rivals the Dragon for scenic turns & Hwy. 41 north of Delaware into Copper Harbor is darn near as good.
Of course, the weather is even more interesting in Yooperland. I remember an August when the temps. didn't get above 45 for the entire week we were there.

You are correct sir, thank you. I lived there for a few months after living in Wisconsin dells for about a year. That experience, along with the winter of 1995 is what really convinced me to leave.

I was a blackjack dealer at the Ho-chunk in Baraboo. Coming out of work at 4:00am to walk across an open parking lot when the temp was literally -40F, with the wind -60F. This lasted 2 weeks (2 separate 1 week runs of crazy weather) if I remember right, and I have been trying to forget it.

Don't get me wrong, I love the place in the summer, and the people are like nothing else I have come across in the rest of the US, but do to weather and politics I can never go back.

The craziest me and the wife ever got was riding around Augusta, GA with the top down in the frigid winter night temps of 55F with the heater blasting and our winter hats pulled down tight (called a chook in da UP).

Flatlander-FIB-FISH.

We always liked your money, though.

Just tell your friends how to tip though...

Just kidding. But keep your boats at home. Launching a 23' Bowrider for the first time in a year with ~25 real boaters waiting must be a bit embarrassing. (NO Martha-the OTHER left!)

Been there-done that!
