That's "Boof" to you, buddy.

Somehow, I've gotten so wrapped up in my touring-locally theme that I forgot about that non-local tour. Heck, riding around the world isn't such a great achievement after all.
Good work on the U.P./ UP wordplay.

A better name might be "Creepyguy's Club."

Thank you, Bruce. More Lake Superior to come.

Thanks Greg. Thanks Bruce. I'm really looking forward to it.

Greg, The Keweenaw Peninsula is certainly off the beaten path. You could probably see more of the UP by skipping it. This will actually be the first time I've been up that way with no snow.

I love your photos and journal. I love this part of the world. What a great bike you have. And, I love that big lake. Thank you.

I guess we can both have Lake Superior as our favorite lake in the world.

Isle Royale is a magical place. I saw the best display of the northern lights while I was camping on Isle Royale on a July 4th a long time ago. Fantastic. The moose were great too.

I always love it when a place is called a 'Gentlemen's Club" because in truth they are slobbering guys looking for beer and nude girls. Nothing gentlemanly about it.

What a town!

A superior view, indeed!

"Touring locally might not be as glamorous as touring in far off lands..."
Wait a cotton-picking minute; I remember reading a journal wherein you and G2 circumnavigated the globe in a record-breaking short time - so you have toured in far off lands, at least in the imaginations of your millions of followers, like me. I must have fallen behind on my journal reading, just discovered this one and looking forward to catching UP and following you on your U.P. adventure - (catching "UP" and "U.P." - get it? - yes, I'm on some weird therapeutic drug at the minute, that's the best I have).

Oooooh, you're going to love Isle Royale. When I took my son and one of his friends on a backpacking trip there twenty years ago, we saw quite a few mooses. We didn't see any wolves though. I've heard they're pretty much gone now.

I haven't decided if I'm going to go up to Copper Harbor on this trip, but even if I do, I wouldn't be there by Monday--especially with a couple days of rain coming up. Bummer.

Yes, the pasty/nasty option is correct.

I agree. It's also kind of weird. I get that Ironwood has no strip bars and Hurley does, but I don't see where it's any advantage for a Wisconsinite to buy a gun in Michigan. It's probably even EASIER to buy a gun in Wisconsin.
