    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'

    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.

    This video was first rate you guys! 😯👌👏 You've come SO far over the years with your production value! I'm not just talking about better quality cameras. I mean in general. Everything from the way you interact with your audience to the sound and editing approaches. It's all so polished now but yet it still feels raw and real! Some people lose the magic when they polish a channel up but you haven't. Anyway.... Those drone shots were incredible! 😍 And I loved that you put the names of where you were! I often use your channel as inspo for future trips (I am too unwell to travel these days but just in case I ever recover). So it's super helpful to know where all the cool spots are so I don't have to figure it out myself. And I mean, come on..... you had me at the puppies ☺😉

    Tahquamenon Falls in the fall is the most beautiful place. So many colors and so serene. Truly stunning. I really love it up there. Cumberland Falls in KY is also gorgeous. Hard to pick my fav as they are both equally amazing.

    My dad is from Michigan and would talk about all the vacations they would take in state. Guess my grandpa didn't like to leave much. I see why. And the Tahquamenon falls... my dad and uncles would call it cola cola falls. Looks like a iced cold coke falling down. Up looks awesome. Been wanting to go. Just reinforced to plan a trip there and cuddle puppies of course. Great videos. Love u guys

    The one thing I love most about the UP is the unspoiled nature of it; you really do appreciate the rugged landscape that created a new life for so many who immigrated to this countries decades prior. I don't get to enjoy this part of my home state nearly as much as I should, though Northern Lower Peninsula is just as grand in its own ways. Glad you were able to be amongst all of us Michiganders

    As another Michigander that visits the UP on vacations, we love to divide the Upper into sections and try to see as much as we can on each adventure. One tip I can recommend is to make sure that you have paid the extra $12 for the park pass on your MI license plate. So many State Parks up there to enjoy for just the $12 annual fee. And if you love to travel with pets, so many places offer good affordable lodging with a minimal pet fee. Thank you for doing such a great job promoting our wonderful state of Michigan.

    I wholeheartedly agree with my fellow Michiganders that we have a wonderful State. Pasties are one of my favorite dishes, we even make them here at home. If you really want to have some fun though, ask Pasty eaters what's the best way to eat them; with gravy (beef or chicken), with Ketchup or just some butter, salt and pepper. Then watch the feathers fly... Lord I love my State....

    Just outside the mini-town called Pinestump Junction (gas station/grocery store/motel/hunting guides) is the Oswald Bear Ranch. Dean and his familiy moved there from Bay City Michigan and have a bear sanctuary where you can get up close to the bears and in the Spring you can play with the cubs. Just ask anyone in the UP and they'll know of Oswalds bear ranch.

    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.
