When Eric mentioned that the Mackinaw Bridge takes 7 years to paint and then they start doing it again, reminds me of a saying here in the UK. There is a bridge in Scotland called the Forth Bridge, which had staff who until recently were constantly painting it. So in everyday life if something seems to be a never-ending task its commonly referred to as being 'like painting the forth bridge'

I’m from Michigan and I love it! Michigan is a hidden gem and I try not to brag too much about the lakes everywhere and the sheer beauty of it all not to mention swimming, canoeing, kayaking, snowmobiling, skiing, ice fishing, the beautiful colors in the Fall, the fresh air especially the smell of pine and fireplaces and bonfires! ♥️ Enjoy 😉 p.s. I don’t know if you’ve noticed how clean it is the further North you go. Michigan is very proud of the North and it’s mostly Government Forest and the DNR does not have patience with folks that try to trash it!!

Fun fact- those who live in the UP are known as Yoopers and the pasty is such an integral part of Michigan culture, that Calumet (one of the towns you drove through on your way to Copper Harbor) has an annual festival devoted to it. You can find pasties at grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, and even little shops dedicated to just making pasty. It's the ultimate comfort food in my opinion. My late grandmother taught me how to make them and now I make them for my own family. And when I do, my kids join in just like I did when I helped Grandma and I'm instantly transported back to those days when I was the one standing on the chair so I could reach the table to roll out the dough. Also, I can attest that the shape of a pasty largely depends on the maker. Mine are nowhere near as dome-like as the ones you bought. I love when Michigan and the UP specifically are showcased in videos like this because the UP is such an incredible place that has so much area that is completely untouched yet. And I can tell you that if you grow up on the shores of the Great Lakes, it calls to you for the rest of your life. I live in another Upper Midwestern state now and I'm a few hours drive from Lake Superior's shoreline and a solid 9 hours from my old hometown. But at least once a year, I HAVE to go stand at the water's edge and just breathe. I can't explain it other than it feels like I'm recharging my batteries. I am so glad you are enjoying your time there because is such an incredible place. (PS. I hope you stopped at the Snow Meter just outside of Mohawk on your way to Copper Harbor. It's pretty impressive to see just how much snow the UP can get in a winter. It's one of the few things I DON'T miss about living there.)

BROCKWAY MOUNTAIN DRIVE was completed in the 1940’s by my husbands grandfather. He employed men during the depression using the CCC (civilian conservative coop) program. Helped men get back to work using newly learned trades. Grandpa used donkeys & dynamite to level out the road. Grandpa used his masonry skills learned in Germany to erect the stone guard rails leading up to the mountain top. Now that we’re grandparents, watching you explore the UP has us thinking we need to take our grandsons up there and explore family history. Grandma S (hubby’s grandma) made pasties. She & grandpa S. ran a boarding house in Calumet…copper country. She did laundry, bedding & fed eight to ten men at a time (plus her own four children). I have her pastie recipe. I tend to make them in the fall. They’re a family favorite. You explored a lot of Michigan’s upper but you missed Big Bay. It was a logging town owned by Henry Ford. His factory on Lake Independence is still there. A family bought it and built their home inside. There are many beautiful hiking trails up there. The 1950’s movie “Anatomy of a Murder” was filmed in Big Bay. The murder actually took place at the Lumber Jack Tavern. Our friend Jack B. Owns it now. He has loads of stories about the area.. he also has load of beer and other adult beverages. You can camp at Perkins County Park, which is practically across the street from the Lumber Jack. No need to drive drunk, but staggering could still get you in trouble, so drink responsibly. Thanks for the cool memories of the UP. Looking forward to more videos from the two of you.

The captain came on the PA and announced that a passenger had asked him what they should do before a boat trip to prevent seasickness. His response was "Buttermilk. Why you ask? Because it tastes the same coming p as it did going down." My wife did not appreciate the humor...

Trolls (people who live below the bridge) generally eat pasties with gravy and Yoopers (people born in the UP) eat them with ketchup.

Yay! You made it to Lake of the Clouds! The Porkies are so pretty. Also: Tah-QUAM-a-nin Falls :) You need to see Copper Peak and Black River Harbor.

Actually pronounced Tah-Quah-Men-NON - not nin. But you were close!😊

Excellent! This is one of the best U.P. videos that I've seen.

A Yooper here! You all hit several great spots! There is so much to see and do across the whole U.P.! If you’re looking for off road campsites get yourself a forestry map however we’ve used the Ioverlander app to locate off road or secluded sites! Lake Superior was formed by a volcano. One reason the water is so crystal clear is because of the temperature plus unlike the 4 other Great Lakes, she doesn’t have pollution pumping into her! The U.P. is an all year playground with plenty of activities and adventure for those that seek it! Pasties with brown gravy, yummy but no to the ketchup! Great trip!

We make our pasties in a half-moon shape with a thick crust like the Cornish ones so they can be eaten anywhere. However, we make the version with carrots (sacrilegious to Cornish purists) and half ground beef and half ground pork, and those were referred to as Swedish Pasties when I was growing up.

You really should have explored the Lower Falls, way more fun and entertaining than the Upper. Ask any Yooper. Also there are more than 100 waterfalls to explore. Next time check out Grand Marais area too.

Up north Michigan..the upper tip ( you plan to go ) there is a bar type restaurant that has fish tacos that I'll never forget. They where exquisite!!!

As michigan native never herd we known for sea food , yes we do have abundant amounts of fish but nothing like what you find near ocean, pasties on the other hand are a michigan staple, they are beat with brown gravy

I live in the UP (Sault Ste. Marie), and we are super lucky! We camp on the lakes all summer, and have so many fantastic spots to choose from right in our "backyard"! I lived in the lower part of the state years back, and was surprised at how much I missed the lakes, I definitely realized then how lucky I was to be able to enjoy the lakes on any given day with just a quick drive. Summer is short and sweet up here, then we have about 6 months of hard winter, but the summers make it worth while to live here (most the time lol)!

Now I’m hungry and homesick, Being a Michigander who’s been living in California for the past 25 years. We spent many summers and falls camping in the U.P. My best friends wife’s half sister was the gal that got blown off the bridge in the Yugo, terrible accident. You guys hit all the primo spots.

I love "Lake of the Clouds" in Porcupine Mts. State Park (S.W. of Keweenaw/Cooper Harber) during Fall colors - end Sept/early Oct. Beautiful!!

Remember if you are counting on the 4 wheel drive truck to pull your home to drive it very gentle off road. Pasties looked great. Be safe.

My aunt and uncle have a small campground on the tahquamenon River! No hookups or anything and there usually isn’t any other campers there. i think they charge $18 a night. They also have a cute little cottage that my mom spent her summers at with her 4 siblings and parents (it was under 300 sq ft). My aunt and uncle fixed it all up and set up some solar so there’s enough power to charge electronics!

Ok, you two are naturals on-screen, you do you well! You have the ability to express yourself according to what is occurring in any given situation. Personally, I feel that I can relate to you both more because of your authenticity. You really do make viewing something to look forward to each week. 👍👊

I’ve never eaten a pasty by hand. We always slather them in gravy and a little ketchup for me. We also buy some frozen to take home.

I’m a Michigander too! From a little town SW of Detroit but vacations always were going “up North “ for the 4th of July and sometimes just long weekends and of course the Fall drives! I’ve been to many states and each have their lovely areas but not one can match the breathtaking beauty of Michigan ! The lakes are gorgeous the four seasons untouched beauty for miles! Of course I’m bias because I get to proudly say MI is my home state!! Thank you for sharing even though I’m a year late watching 😂Hope you make it back in Autumn one day!🌲🌳🍂🍁🌻🌾
