Hi Chris,

You just described the whole UP!  I live about 50 miles south of the bridge
and we go up there when we can.
Quite often, we just get a map and go.  If I could spell half of the places,
I'd be glad to tell you about them.  This weekend there is a giant car show
in Saint Ignace (the UP side of Machinaw)  Usually about 2000+ cars.
Everything from antiques to Hot Rods.  Tequamenon Falls, Whitefish Point,
Marquette, the Kewanaw peninsula, Fayette....  How many months do you have?
You would be well advised to carry a few gallons of fuel as some of the
towns close down at sunset and others are just far between.  (Please  don't
start a flame about carring fuel folks).  When are you thinking about going?
A lot a of folks around here (trolls: below the bridge) just go and explore.
A lot of mining history, lumbering history, and a whole bunch of trees.
If I think about this some more, I might be able to come up with more
details.
Mark
