I am with great anticipation to see Painesdale on my next trip to the U. P. I got my first taste of it in '03 while lighthouse hunting. I was intantly hooked. I came back in '05 to spend more time there, staying in near by Christmas for a few days - exploring, and playing tourist. This year We will be coming up from the Apostle Island, to get up to Copper Harbor, coming across Wisconsin. Had to stop at Marquette last year, in order to make Oshkosh Sawdust days. The first two times we came up through Mackinaw. The Lakes are a drawing card, but the U. P.! - now that's another thing. Thanks to Pasty.net for getting me out of Missouri on cold winter nights, to the warmth of the Northwoods. Paul, Festus, Mo.
