I was amazed one winter my son convinced our family to go snowshoeing in Tahquamenon State Park. I was afraid I'd be cold. After a while I wanted to remove my coat. I really did like doing it, I just don't take the time to do it.

Brian Martin Gravy's fine, but ketchup is best!!!!

Jim Stone Tom, you're just a troll.😁 I was raised using ketchup or, as they do in Cornwall, UK, Worcester sauce. My Grandfather was directly from there and worked the mines there and the Champion Mine in the UP. Kathy and her gang like gravy. Either one for me.

Man I googled Pine Martens in Upper Peninsula and one of your old videos popped up. I remember watching you years ago and had forgotten about your show. I am so glad I found it by mistake. Thank you for so many memories..I always liked how you were one that always had canoeing. Take care and thank u for sharing.

I usually go there 6 times from opening day, to the end of fall to get pictures of all the wildlife there. They have been working on a new visitors center for almost 3 years and hopefully will be finished this year (2025)

Going way back to Northern Experience! Always loved the UP shows for taking me back there and making me want to go back! But the other ones from widened territory are good too. Ontario, LP, etc.

I live 1/2 mile from this trail and live in Shingleton. It's always a great ride, weather it be a sxs or snowmobile.

Awesome trail! Pretty sweet about 8am in the morning after a fresh groom..and the rest of the world is still snoozing 😁

5/3/2025 - Episode 1510 "Top of the Lake Circle Tour" (Schoolcraft County, Michigan)
Loved it! I was born in Manistique, return a couple times a year to take my elder mom on road trips. One point to always note even now is that getting an up to date map and be prepared to not have cell, GPS navigation. The visitor center just across the bridge is worth a stop just to get updated information. There have been so many improvements such as restrooms, signage and roads. My grandfather extended the road around Gulliver Lake to build their summer cottage and my aunt/uncle loved it so they built a year round place next door.
