    Love your videos! I am from MI and vegan and your vids are the BEST. My parents honeymooned in Paradise, they were poor and camped there (from Saginaw in the lower peninsula). THere is a stone you can find in the UP called yooperlite, and it glows under a black light. Can be found on the shores of Lake Superior. You might need a blacklight flashlight though.

    I'm a new subscriber, The Edmond Fitzgerald sank at White Fish Point & my friend Larry Hasskell Dad lost his life on that ship . quite a few guys were from Toledo, Ohio area. 😮😮 I haven't been to White Fish Point since 2019 . Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about The Edmond Fitzgerald. Tahquamenon Falls is a beautiful place to explore, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore also . Everything is beautiful in Da. Up of Michigan. Thanks for taking us along . I used to hike but got seriously injured on the job. I used to drive a semi . Give Joey a hug. Stay safe .

    Shipwreck Museum is awesome. Gift shop totally worth it. Check out Gordon Lightfoot's song "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" It wrecked 17 miles off Whitefish point.. We spent hours there. Freighters pass by there also. Copper Harbor is truly beautiful; especially in the fall. Joey needs a haircut.

    New to your channel and absolutely love how you're exploring Michigan. Welcome to fall in the UP. It will be absolutely gorgeous up until Halloween. If you like winter it's beautiful then too, very cold and very snowy. Hope when you crossed into St. Ignace that you stopped at the Welcome Center and picked up a waterfall map. The UP has lots of waterfalls. Hope you enjoyed Paradise and maybe White Fish Point. There's lots up here. Most of the "touristy" stuff is closed but you can still meet your basic needs, do a lot of exploring and have a good time. Houghton Hancock is the college town for Michigan Technological University, then on up to Copper Harbor, etc. Hope you two have a grand time and safe adventures here in the land of the mitten and the rabbit. Thank you for sharing your travels.

    I'm curious why you keep saying "Mac" instead of the accurate name of Mackinaw/Mackinac? Are you unsure of how to say the name properly? Have you heard any locals say it? Lots of people watch your videos for the travel aspect and it seems that correctly presenting the names of places would be helpful.

    • @MyBasicJourney
      @MyBasicJourney  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      When referring to the bridge or the island, locals use the nickname "Mac." A few videos ago when I was in Mackinaw City, I said the name of the town. You can go watch that if you'd like. (;
