i haven't been to the UP yet either. but it is on my list as well as the "bridge" that no one around here can stop talking about. but it might be a separate trip for me. also whitefish bay and the edmond fitzgerald museum. all could be done at the same time i guess.. its just time and money :lol: :lol:
