I love skipping stones at Presque Isle, and it was really fun jumping off the Black Rocks . . . even though the water was freezing!

The Great Lakes, bonfires on the beach, the Locks, the Jampot, Pasties, Clyde’s Drive-In, people speaking Finnish, and the Friday Fish Fry at the Raber Bay Bar.

I went to the Eben Ice Caves on Valentine’s Day.

In general, I just love hiking through woods with a digital camera, and wondering how such a beautiful place exists.

The scenic beauty all around us and the more relaxed lifestyle.

Snow banks as big as houses. Summers spent picking agates and berries and following up with a refreshing dip in Lake Superior. Absolute silence.

I love the summer at the beach.
I love walking through the woods and running into no one.

You know you are in the U.P. when the local drive-in burger joint in Baraga opens for the season when it is a balmy -19.3 degrees at 8 AM. Business is bustling! Ice cream cone, anyone?
