5. Shopping the Reservation gas station for beer is normal.
6. You know what the seasons are, fishing, black fly, hunting and winter.
7. Venision is the only red meat you know of.
8. You have at least one relative named Olie.
9. You bend over backwards to help out.
10. You have a total understanding that Lansing has no clue where the UP is located.

Note: all this is in fun. I love the UP.

You help out a total stranger because it's the right thing to do.
You can leave your car/truck running, unlocked, with the keys in it while you pick up a few things at the store
Your kids can play outside well past dark without a body guard
Your kids do not need to pass through metal detectors while entering a grade school
When there is a need in the community, the community meets the need without asking big government for a handout
You don't own a snowmobile trailer, because you don't need one
A traffic jam is two vehicles in front of you at the stop sign

Those are very good John! Those all remind me of the small town I grew up in. If only the UP had nicer golf courses I would live there too. Golf is the one thing (I can mention on here) that I like more than snowmobiling. :)

When you can take your kids snowmobiling ,atving,fishing,and kayaking all in the same week. They look so forward to spring break. Too look back and think we drove 1200 miles to just sit on a beach.

Doubt the July snow thing. Karl doubts it too.

I also liked his quote on winter lore here in the Yoop. "Up here, there’s nine months of winter and three months of rough sledding.”

From my personal observation in 7 years here, we get snow the same time as my friends/family do in Lower MI (same week anyway) but ours stays rather than melting. In the spring, lawn mowing begins about a week later than my Grand Rapids friends. Long cold spring here, same in WI and Lower MI. Only difference is we get much more snow!
