Never Met a Yooper I Didn't Like

Just got back from a four day trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I like very much going there and on this trip I went to a part of the U.P. that I had never been in before. My oldest daughter went with me. I was hoping all three of my girls would go but the other two had other things they were doing so it was just the two of us.


The first night we camped at Baraga State Park. The next day we headed up the Keweenaw Peninsula and did a circle tour and saw and photographed a lot on interesting things.The Day's high point was when we stopped at "The Gay Bar" for a drink. The town of Gay is quite a metropolis. There is a old smoke stack left over from the days when the town was a place copper was smelted, about a dozen houses and of course the bar.









We had an nice conversation with the owner about alien abductions and he told us a few jokes about a Yooper couple taking a cruise. It was extremely funny and he spoke with a heavy Yooper accent which added to the fun.



Here's a couple more images I will post more when I get through them, but here is a taste for now.
