• Friday-What'sUP July 2 - 03:17 am

Long-time Pasty Cammist Peggy Riemer checks in with today's view:

The goose and I were standing near the south end of the big bridge. The foggy rainy weather made it seem hardly worth taking a second look across the water, but I should have known that the UP always has the magic. This goose seems to know it too.

Everybody has left for the fourth already?
Great pics, first time I wished I were a goose.
Safe holidays all! Esp. our military service people.

Hi
We're working summer hours here--9 hr days Monday through Thursday, then a half day on Fridays--so my weekend starts at noon. The car is packed and I am so READY to head north! Not up to the Keweenaw, though, no farther than the Straits area. Everyone have a good holiday.

We were at this spot on Monday evening watching the traffic head north after coming from Eagle Harbor that morning. Oh I wish I was there and not sitting at work typing this!!!!

Now that is a cool shot!

Great way to survey your lot in life. Looking forward, not backward. Pasty-festers: live long and hard.

Beautiful pic...the Mighty Mac looks welcoming and is a beautiful sight for sore eyes in any type of weather. ;)
Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Fourth of July weekend. And for those of you fortunate enough to be heading to the Pasty Fest, enjoy :)

Good morning --

Great shot of the goose & bridge! Wish I was there or farther north.

Does anyone know what happened to the web cam in Mackinaw City that provided a similar view of the bridge from a more easterly perspective? I think it was maintained by CoreComm and might have had some connection to one of the ferry services. I really miss that view.

Travel safely over the weekend, everyone.

DA MOONEY flies north today.........at last......
Time for a U.P. fix.........

Good morning,
How the bug situation right now.
I'll be up there in 2 weeks, just need to know if I'll be needing the DEET and mosquito netting..

Counting down the days. Will be in Copper Harbor on the 23rd and cannot wait.

I don't care if it rains every day I'm there. It will still be better that a sunny day anywhere else.

Is the goose the welcoming committee for the 300 geese the government has captured in Lower MI and bringing up to Baraga for the 'enjoyment' on the lawns of the Upper MI natives?

One week from today I'll be waking up in Grand Marais, and a few days later, Copper Harbor, then on to Mackinac...I can't wait!

The picture is peaceful looking and I can't wait until I see the bridge on July 14th. Won't be going to the Keweenaw but will be spending time in the eastern part of the UP. Staying a few days on Whitefish Bay.

Someone needs to explain to the DNR that we do not want Lower Michigan problems in the UP....Hey! Spending money bringing them up here is a big waste of funds. If they turn out to be a problem up here they will end up on some Yoppers table when hunting season comes around.

But it's ok for Michigan funds to be spent on the up for things like road improvements, bridge cards, ssdi, schools, prisons, etc.
Could the up support itself with out lower Michigan funds?

Call Crabby Jack collect!

3 weeks from tonight, we'll be in Copper Harbor!

Good morning. I'm with Kari the troll - how does the black fly/mosquito situation look so far? Also the deer flies! We've already stocked up on Deep Woods Off for our trip to Grand Marais next week. Can't wait to breathe that fresh, clean air.

I have that photo...minus the goose and fog! Pretty country!

I’m taking time today to remember those of us who are still alive.
You know who you are, live long and prosper!

Like the title today... Longing to be in the U.P.
In just over a week, Capt. Paul and I will be in Houghton and will be spending five wonderful weeks up there. And then it's off to my new job as associate professor of geology at a college in Texas!

Whoda thought a Goose would be a sight seer!! But then look at what she's got to look at! Great picture.

Kari... you will definitely need the DEET and mosquito netting! The biting flies are bad on the beach whenever the winds are from the east for some reason. Was at Agate Beach a few days ago and the flies were unbearable. Have a great holiday weekend everyone.

A GREAT photo. I should like to add the title: Michigander!

Perhaps that Michigander in today's photo is looking for his Michigoose? <Groan!>

FRNash/PHX, AZ, Tee hee...tee hee. Honk if you are a Michigander. :-)

2 me, "Michiganian" sounds better. And, 2 our neighbor 2 the North, the land of the Maple Leaf, Happy Dominion of Canada Day (retroactive 2 July 1st).
