Michigan wanted Toledo.   We ended up with the UP.   Kind of a no-win situation, if you ask me.

The UP is actually quite beautiful. I remember reading Hemingway's Nick Adams stories and then heading up to the UP to fly fish. I had learned to fly fish in WY where the rivers run very different. UP streams are deeper so the fish behave differently. Got skunked until we started using live crickets. Then we started whacking 'em. Pan fried trout for breakfast? You betcha dupa!

I go to the UP snowmobiling all the time and it is very beautiful and great trails.  Been going for 15 years now and the bar/restaurant owners know us by name and the locals are as friendly as can be, great people there.  Never been fly fishing but do have friends that go there all the time for that and they just love it.

In the not too distant future, when fresh water is gold, you will tell a different tale.

Anybody ever go to the Palding Light in Watersmeet (home of the Nimrods...they're very proud of that).  Most overrated "site" ever.  Just looks like a star.  Have never seen it move or change colors or flicker or take off into the sky like it's rumored to.  And then when you try to walk up the hill towards it people start yelling at you and saying you're going to ruin it for everyone, that it'll disappear.  Makes sense since it's a porch light and the locals don't want the secret ruined.

The real site seeing is at Bon Falls right around there.

Been to Roger's Bar in Watersmeet snowmobiling for many years and they all laugh every time we bring up the "Palding Light".  Bon Falls is way cool in the winter.

Living in the desert I totally agree!  People here say water will be the new oil (or gold)!

Bond falls and Agate falls are both very cool. Sylvania Park(Natl or state?) is also beautiful.

That's what that former Governor of Wisconsin used to say. His name was Lee, I think, and he wore a red vest. I think he had something to do with UW - Stevens Point. Anyhow, this is when the Rust Belt was blleding jobs to the Sun Belt and the WI Gov kept saying that the Sun Belt would run out of water resulting in an exodus back north. Never happened.

Time will tell.  How are things in Texas, water wise, these days?
