Or are in the general area of Iron Mountain. We have a building that masquerades as a tv station part time there. I drove across to the north coast one Sunday a year or so back when I was up there working on it, and almost couldn't breath for the sand flies in the air, used up a full tank of washer fluid in the vehicle I was driving at the time. Thin them down to about 10%, and that dune country would have been beautiful. Trout I'm told, come in pan sized and OMG, and while I haven't caught any, I've seen some of both. As do pike & walleye. No poisonous snakes either, but lots of the others. A 3 foot pine snake is a true work of art. Deer are underfoot most of the time.
You'll love it if you don't mind needing a snowmobile to go get groceries at times. I'd head that way, but there's no way in hell I could get Dee to go along. She was born here, in a house about 1.5 miles from this one. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
