      Don't get me started on pronunciation, lol! It is probably more about enunciation. With a mix of Native American, English and French, our place names can sound quite different. There are also regional dialect differences between Yoopers, Michiganders living south of the bridge, and our neighbors in Ontario.

    Great video, We are planning a trip to the UP and are looking for fun hikes. How young of children do you think could do this hike? We hike often so they are accustomed to several miles/hours long hikes with decently steep areas along Lake Michigan lakeshore dunes. We’ve read of the rock scrambles, what we saw in the video appeared doable is that pretty representative of what we would expect?

    • @AVisceralLife
      @AVisceralLife 6 месяцев назад

      If you hike up the south trail to the summit, there isn't much of a scramble. If the kids are used to hiking for a couple of hours, they should be fine. It is an out-and-back trail, so you can always turn around. Have a great trip!

      We just got back from our trip. We did roughly 12.5 miles in the Chapel/Mosquito area of pictured rocks two days earlier. We opted for the North path and the girls really enjoyed the rock scrambling. We brought a lunch to eat at the top. The view is amazing. It was a clear day around 80 degrees at noon when we got up there. With the wind up there it felt great. There were some mosquitoes in the beginning and end but it was definitely worth it. Thanks!

    We love Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. It is even better in the fall! The last time we visited we overnighted at Indian Lake State Park, which allowed us to stop by Kitch-iti-kipi on our way up to Union Bay Campground in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. We went the first week of October. Unfortunately, that is Bear-hunting season so Konteka can't feed the bears during that time, so no bear watching when we stopped by there. The mild downside with fall camping there is that it seems like it is much more popular, there were a lot of people there. We never got around to the Nonesuch trail, we decided to skip it after being disappointed in the Union Gorge Falls (lack of water on that waterfall). Too bad you didn't have a chance to catch the waterfalls along the Black River Scenic Byway, they are very nice, and all short hikes. It makes for a great day trip. We didn't attempt the Escarpment trail either, as we figured the climb would probably be too much for us. Nice songs!

    Nice video. Very informative. One thing people should know when staying at Porcupine Mountains is that nearby is the Black River Scenic Byway where you can visit up to five very nice waterfalls within a few miles of each other. We stayed for 10 nights at the Union River semi-modern campground in our tent last fall (October, 2021). Aspen has a beautiful singing voice.

      Yes, but it is one of her older songs from 2018. Her song "The March" starts with a British field march from revolutionary war time period, so I thought it was appropriate for the history hike in Boston. Aspen's studio recordings can be heard at: ruclips.net/p/PLXzjZ-9jd1m9RQeJ0N9htHetl7gSHzKT8

    My gosh the amount of work you put into this video. You really covered the whole area.. It was like watching a Documentary lol. Shocked you don't have more attention on it. Im heading this way in the beginning of October hoping to get some fishing in. We booked the Rivermouth. We didnt know anything about the area haha After watching this video I almost wish we did the lower falls area... In fact my sister in law who reserved the campsites mistakenly thought the river mouth campsite was right next to the falls lol.

      Thanks for the complement Dustin! My videos do take a ton of time to research, write, and produce. I probably spend more than twice the amount of time on the computer than I do in the field shooting them, but that's alright. The Rivermouth is actually one of my favorite places to camp in Michigan. You won't be disappointed! Take some coffee and drive right across 123 to the boat launch and watch the sunrise over Whitefish Bay. Have a great trip!

    I really enjoy some of these more rugged footed trails as they seem to be less crowded...at least that is the way it appears to be here in Nova Scotia. Such grand views! I bet it would look pretty colourful in the fall...thanks so much for sharing your adventure and hope you all have a wonderful week! Bruce and Otis

    • @AVisceralLife
      @AVisceralLife 3 года назад

      Yeah, same here in Michigan. The more traffic a place gets, the more developed the trail becomes. It makes sense because the area needs more protection with more traffic. I find the length of a trail really affects how many use it. Once you get over a mile into the woods, the less people you see. We actually saw one other person for less than a minute who arrived at the summit after us and left right before us in this hike.

      In my family, the bugs prefer my wife, son and daughter Aspen. So, I can be comfortable knowing they will attract all the bugs and keep them away from me. I also used bug spray and as long as I keep moving, I am usually ok. One of the reasons most of this video are shots of us hiking away from the camera is because Aspen could not stop moving, or she would be eaten alive. So, I would have to hike back to the camera on a tripod after each shot. Luckily the bugs weren't bad after we started climbing away from the flatlands and after the rain came.
