Lets Dream A Little..................

[jr37]

Lets just say you had money to burn (like PR1 ) and you could choose anyplace in the U.P. to live, moneys no object. Where would you choose?

I would choose Eagle Harbor or the very near area. I have been to many areas of the U.P. and I think the Eagle Harbor area is just beautiful, peaceful, serene, etc. I would move tommorrow. I think the U.P. is calling me.

If we must play by your guide lines, I would buy the Mackinaw bridge for income, Mackinaw Island for income, All the ferry boats to lock in more income. Then I would buy straits state park for my Mansion and a yacht. The location is ideal to watch the bridge toll booths, boats and island. But then wit no option on money, I doubt I would ever be home.

well if money no object.
I would first buy back all the paper china holds on our national parks.
then when the usa defaults I will build my home in Yellowstone heat it with coal. then for 7 grams of gold a day I will allow all 2s toys free reign of the park.
no passive recreation allowed

St. Iggy. My favorite!!

 

[skiroule]

Well if money were no object I'd try to buy Lenny's place but failing that I'd settle for Mount Houghton and few surrounding sections of land. A nice little two bedroom cabin perched on the east-northeast face would do just fine. One bedroom for us and one for our frequent snowmobiling guests.

If you've been to the top (which I think a lot of you have) I'm pretty sure you would agree that the view is pretty special.

I'd still reside in Indiana because I like the feeling of getting away to somewhere awesome, and you cant get more lame than Indiana.

yes you can, i live in il

 

[halfpint]

I got you both beat, I live in Iowa! But if had to follow this threads rules. Anywhere in the U.P. would be great!

 

[whitedust]

I like sleddin anywhere in the yoop but buying real-estate there not so much then stuck in 1 area & not many buyers when you want to sell. You better luv winter & snow Nov into May. Sometimes it is better to dream & visit not buy.

 

[yoopermike]

I would buy Granot Loma, Loma Farms. If I had a spare $40 million laying around.

 

[Hoosier]

I think I would buy a ranch or cabin out near Togwotee, like Turpin Meadow or something like that. Close enough to Jackson Hole I think my wife would enjoy it. I like the UP and all, but if money is no object, I probably would head somewhere else.

I'm good with Here:

Scottiking OUT

follow the rules. In the UP. No one will hold you to it.

Fine. Then I'm either buying the rights to trail 107, or maybe it's 109 - whatever one heads north east of the grade in Watersmeet. Probably my favorite wide trail in the UP.

Or I'm buying the Northgate motel in Calumet. I can't remember what it's called now, but we always made that our ground zero when going on snowmobiling in college. Lots of different riding one can do in a day from that location.

I don't know the East side of the UP too well.

 

[racerx]

I know this is not the UP, but it is very close. If I had the cash I would be building a cabin on my property in Lando and closing my toolbox at work never to be seen down here again. I would then by some good hunting property in UP. I am living "part" of my dream just having the property in Lando, I can go there and just hang out and forget everything, I have said when I am there it is when I can actual "breathe" since when I'm in the rat race it is like holding your breath until I return.

Their Pasties are the best, but I don't think I could live on them.
