Heading up to the U.P. on the bike later this week. Gonna stay in Tomahawk Wed night, then Hurley for two nights and take a couple day trips outta Hurley. Hoping to head up to Bayfield and out to Madeline Island on Friday for a while, Porcupine Mts, Lake O The Clouds etc... Then Saturday we'll head south and west toward the "Big Muddy" and get home Sunday. Should be about 1000 miles altogether. CAN'T WAIT!! Hoping to see a bit of color while we roam around. :D

Really been slow lots of warm weather & rain...started out good in August but way behind in September in Phelps. You will see some color in WI but not even giving color % yet on NBC Rhinelander. Not sure why but very slow compared to last 10 years.

Did you drive the Seney stretch, what is it like 30 miles of flat straight road. Put alot of folks to sleep out of boredom, especially after the fire in the early 70's. Must be pretty much forested back in by now isn't it. I haven't drove it in a LONG time.

I took to Highway 2 to 77 and straight up. Took the same way back. Made a quick trip to Grand Marias for pizza Monday evening. Can't remember the name of the bar but it is across the street from the gas station. Good pizza too.

We went from Land O' Lakes to Copper Harbor yesterday (9/26) and the further north you go the less color there is. By the time we got to CH it was pretty much all green with an occasional red or orange tree. Brockway was still beautiful because even though minimal color, you can still see for so far that you get an expanse of color. Hate to say it but I could not remember a time of being on Brockway that it wasn't covered in snow.........

I would say from Ontonagon County north, color could be as much as ten days out on being optimal???? Of course it always goes faster than you think.
