Take that headline at face value because I don’t believe it is hyperbole. The people that inhabit the U.P. are as kind as the views up there are beautiful. The ongoing Sleeper Lake Fire has provided a chance for more of the state (those of us below the bridge in particular) to see [...]

I’m a lower peninsula gardener and I sometimes rush things a bit to see how early I can get stuff growing in the garden. I would fail miserably if I was growing a garden in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
The Ironwood Daily Globe has an article about how residents of the U.P. cope with the much [...]
