Gee, I thought the "wrong side" of Mi was below the bridge. Dean is absolutely right about The Upper Peninsula- it is wonderful. Having worked in both Troy and currently living in the U.P., there is no comparison! Lake Superior is incredible- for the real crazy I believe there is a Gales of November rendezvous up in the Keewenaw. So, Brian, welcome to Mi! Nancy, former troll, now a happy Yooper
