I see you're in Michigan- we took our kids to the UP twice, and that was cool. Union Bay on Lake Superior near Ontanogon is peaceful.
The UP is peaceful, I agree, but I'm kinda done with it for awhile.
We've camped in the UP twice in the past 3 years. This July, it was 28* at night and riddled with mosquitoes during the day. Then to sight see, we had to drive over an hour to get anywhere. I think 3 people live up there. There really is nothing around and all of the homes are run down. Sad.
I still want to visit Copper Harbor, but it's 560 miles away from home. I can be in southern Tennessee in 560 miles! I'll take Tennessee.
Even with all of that negativity about the UP, I still want to go to the Porkies as well. It's not necessarily on a 'bucket list' but a 'if I happen to be near it' list. ;)
