This right here is what it's all about!
Darn skippy.
My buddy from Chicago (rip) use to laugh at me for living up here. But then a few summers ago we were sitting on my deck, midsummer, just had a sauna. The bears were sliding right down and once and a while a hot cigar ash would briefly spat on the water. He was amazed at the dim green northern lights in the sky....they happened almost all summer that year. There wasn't a noise except for the fish splashing and coyotes yipping.
He got it- the U.P..
Tom didn't exactly move up here nor could he talk his wife and kids to take family vacations here but he still got it.
It's not for everyone and that's okay too.
I jumped into this thread because it's a site about snowmobiling and people were complaining about snow which I thought was pretty strange.
