I have been busy and have not been watching much and could not believe it when I saw you were in the UP! My mother was born in Pequaming in 1918 and used to tell stories of when Henry Ford used to come to town. You did a GREAT job on this video as you always do! Happy travels from a Yooper at heart living as. "Troll" under the bridge in Muskegon!
Binge watched today and all caught up! No cell service for us for awhile. Today it's so smokey we stayed inside and watched Grand Adventure. Dreaming of our next adventure. Great stops you guys have had. Places we have never seen. We've mostly done the western states. Thanks
Thanks as always Spell Madam! That's been the case for us too, until this summer. Now that we're back in the pseudo-West in far western North Dakota, about 40 miles east of the Montana line, we've finally found this summer's wildfire spoke. We're hoping that the promised change in wind direction overnight clears these skies for tomorrow.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Gunnar Braxton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@@GrandAdventure I so enjoy your travels. My husband and I have a few more years before we start our ventures. Until then, I feel blessed that others share their journeys. Thank you much!
I just came across your channel this evening. Ended up waiting 8 of your videos. Every one of them was Great. You make them enjoyable, informative, and very professionally done. Nice comforting music too.
You're very kind, Roger. We're thrilled to have you along! We do Premiere events each Wednesday evening with a live chat amongst many of our regular viewers, if you'd like to join us. 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific each Wednesday.
If you please we as foreigners subscribers enjoy to explore places unknown to us we as overseas students alright I gathered some main information about place you visited thank you for showing us such magnificent landscapes and give us chance to read to increase our cultural level improve our English level as well. Stay safe blessed best wishes
I have often commented on your videos out West and put them on my bucket list. Now you’re in my stomping grounds. I love the UP and can find most of what I’m looking for up there. I’m glad you’re enjoying your time up there. We call it Gods Country.
Indeed it is, Chris! We should've consulted some of you locals for tips on some boondocking spots in the National Forest, but we also needed to have cell service for work, and we wanted waterfront. Mouth of the Huron had some wonderful boondocking but we were shocked at how packed it was. And the cell signal was insufficient for our work needs, too. (Come on StarLink!) Boondocking would be perfect at High Rock Bay for anyone with a truck camper or a tent.
Thanks for this video. I'm from East Lansing originally, Florida now, but in college I backpacked on Isle Royal. I caught the boat to the island in Houghton. Stayed overnight in nearby FJ McLain State Park the night before getting the boat. I love the bits of history and local knowledge you include. I did know about Douglas Houghton from a brochure the Isle Royale National Park people sent me a while back.
Wow - great video! Living on Cape Cod we have worried about moving out West and away from the beautiful ocean that surrounds us, but we never realized how gorgeous (and ocean like) the Great Lakes are! We are definitely going to add the UP to our list of places to travel - will definitely satisfy our "ocean fix"!
And if you go far enough west there's of course the Pacific coast! Even in Utah we're only a quick 90-minute flight from anywhere along the West Coast. The NorCal/Oregon coast is nothing short of stunning. It's very different from Cape Cod, of course, but no less beautiful.
It definitely is, Lynne! If you haven't yet seen our episode from Door County, Wisconsin, check it out: ruclips.net/video/OmUThkB8kKc/видео.html . However, we're really excited to take our viewers to Wisconsin's Apostle Islands next week -- that's Lake Superior, whereas Door County is Lake Michigan.
The color of the water you captured with the drone is just spectacular, good job! Pretty similar to the water by Pictured Rocks, I'd say. I've lived in the UP over 40 years and been up that way only once. I think I'll visit the fall in my RV van. Thanks for the video!
@@MermaidmomUP thank you! It's very similar, but for Lake Superior water color it's impossible to beat what we filmed from the drone near Bayfield, WI in next week's episode. Trust me. ;)
Great video Marc, your views of places are second to none, have been to the UP only a couple times, went to Whitefish point. And Sault St . Marie, Michigan and that whole area is just beautiful. thanks for sharing it with us, travel safe.
Thanks for all your hard work and letting us virtually enjoy your lovely travels. You have a pleasant voice....sounds like a professional radio person. I also like your dog which I think I noticed as a brown English Lab? Finally, where do you gather your facts before narration, especially of Keweenaw Peninsula? You seem to find out of the way places, and offer interesting, and little known tidbits about an area. Nice work!
Thanks Chris! Appreciate your kind comment! Google is our friend, we simply research stuff online while we're visiting an area, trying to find stuff of interest. Zoe is indeed a brown Labrador retriever, but she's more of the Americanized version of the Lab than the English version with the boxier head shape.
Thanks for highlighting some of the beauty that the Great Lakes region provides! Too bad that the waters are far too frigid for my liking. Still seems a very worthy visit one day, though.
The water is definitely nippy, and I'll fully admit to being a wuss when it comes to cold water. But without any plans to swim, that really wasn't an issue for us. Where we were kayaking in the Apostle Islands in next week's episode the water temps were around 65ºF near shore, although they quickly drop to around 50ºF not too far off shore.
Thanks as always Scott! We look forward to getting back there when we finally make it to Quebec after the border reopens, probably next season. We look forward to not only seeing more of the UP, but also some areas of the Lower Peninsula that we fell in love with when we had to drive to Traverse City for trailer parts when we broke down in Sturgeon Bay, WI.
We were up to White Fish Point, last summer. For us Ky guys, it was relief from the torrid heat of Ky summers. Enjoyed the video more than usual, because we had intended to get over to Pictured Rocks, but didn't make it. You filled in the blanks for us.
Beautiful opening with the drone footage! We were just checking out the L'Anse Park to spend our vacation but decided on another place so glad to see what it looks like for next time! ;-) We absolutely love Lake Superior! We watched a doc on how they built that bridge and it was fascinating! We will be up there next week chasing waterfalls... Very nice video! Looking forward to your next one! 😃
Thanks Terry! Glad that we could show you the L'Anse Township Park for future reference. And we definitely fell in love with Lake Superior between this episode, last week's and next week's. The color of the water and its clarity are both remarkable. Have a safe and fun trip!
Thanks Marc. Really great coverage of the peninsula. Very lovely video. I have never been to this area so it is a real treat to get such a preview. I hope the weather continues to hold out for you. Gord
We had such a nice week in UP this summer. Fort Wilkins State Park was also a beautiful campground in Copper Harbor. Thanks for including the interesting history you share.
We were in da’ U P, same park Mark and your rig looked very familiar, but we were at the west end of the park and left Aug 2.. Fun being a Yooper even if it’s temporary. We love our hidden jewels. My friend’s daughter teaches school in L’Anse and visits often. Nice video
Another fun and informative episode Marc 👍😊 beautiful area. I’ve never been to the UP Michigan n Keweenaw Peninsula but it’s now on my bucket list. ❤️😎🎶🥾 thanks for sharing and safe travels
Oh, wow, what a fantastic video you created😍 We’ll be in the UP Saturday, so we’ve really enjoyed all of your videos of your adventures while you were here. You’ve highlighted so much we haven’t seen on our previous trips there! And I loved seeing Miss Zoe again❤️
Awesome! Thank you Kristie! Yep, I'm making a conscious effort to try to film her more. It's easier to do when we're hiking together, etc., but harder to remember when I have to keep her leashed.
Another great video, Mark. This is a part of the Michigan I haven’t explored yet. Thanks for introducing it. It is definitely now on my list to visit when I’m back in UP Michigan. Great video, great scenery and very informative.
Thanks Lindy, glad you enjoyed it! When we pull out a map, something like the Keweenaw that juts out into Lake Superior just pulls us in like a magnet. Still in Pierre?
Grand Adventure Nope it got too cold too quickly! Actually am in a tiny town in Nebraska - a cute little town park with free electric, water and dump station. Am slowly making my way to Florida for Christmas with daughter/granddaughter. Next grand adventure is Iowa and possibly meeting with friends to do Nachez Trace from Nashville to Nachez - 444 miles of park (no commercial vehicles) with three well spaced boondocking campgrounds and truly scenic (hikes, ghost towns, Indian mound and more) through Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi. Plan to spend the fall foliage there.
@@lindythompson6196 that sounds like a terrific plan. Natchez Trace is on our to-do list one of these days, as there's a whole lot more of the SE US we want to see.
Grand Adventure Natchez Trace is a MUST. Been on it 3 different times in last seven years and always extend my stays to a month or more as I find new adventures every time! When the world gets back to normal, add Newfoundland to your list. Another favorite adventure of mine but take the entire summer (and still didn’t seem like enough time to see it all). So many beautiful places!
@@lindythompson6196 yup, Newfoundland is another one of our bucket-list destinations. We were supposed to be in Quebec this summer to see Patricia's family, and we probably would've come back via Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, taking the ferry back from Halifax to New England, but the COVID border closure changed all of that.
I can only imagine how cold, Jed -- the thought crossed my mind of walking to campus in that town in January. You should be very proud, it's a terrific school.
Wow such an outstanding guide to this area! So well done! Great drone shots as usual. Love the little nuggets you shared about each little area! When are those Grand Adventure hats coming out? lol
Thanks so much Tom! I actually looked into hats a while back, but had a hard time meeting the embroidery specs. That'll give me something to work on this winter.
Ask how to pronounce the names of place. Locals will tell you L'Anse sounds like "Ah." Thanks for sharing this tour. My dog and I were just up there yesterday and love the drive all the way up to Copper Harbor. Glad you got to experience it as well.
Nice to finally watch a Wednesday night show live. It’s been a while - life. Hoping to head up to Crater Lake and Mount Lassen next month. Thanks Marc for putting this road trip together. It’s been a while since I was up in that area. Did you go by the big sand dunes on the other side of Michigan?
Welcome back! We caught the Grand Sable Dunes in our visit to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in last week's episode. Have a great trip to Crater Lake! And keep an eye on those fires up there.
Marc, How's the weather where you are right now? The big man pulled the switcheroo on us. Not bad here in north Texas... just cloudy with some rain. Gord
Question, Could you put the time of year that you are at your locations, either by mentioning it or some marquee on the screen? I watch Saturday's release of venture4wd (youtube) where we can get an idea of weather at that time of year.
@@GrandAdventure I watch RUclips via a Roku on my TV. I have to go to my computer if I need to see details or do a better search. Usually I just look around for a location of interest via Roku. I can do searches on it but usually just scan a row of Grand Adventures videos. Thanks for the reply....
@@kensterling8628 aaah, makes sense. We have Roku TVs in the trailer and at home, so I understand how YT doesn't provide access to video descriptions when using their Roku app.
Not enough, John, and hopefully it'll all melt out before accumulating snows arrive; otherwise, we'll end up with a "death layer" of faceted snow that'll avalanche all winter.
@@DrJohn493 yep, it's the up-and-down of early autumn right now. Never got out of the 50s the past 2 days, but is forecast to reach the upper 80s again in a few days. Never a dull moment!
Hey guys, My latest video "Copper Harbor Michigan, Where the Road Ends and Adventure Begins" is now live on RUclips. Please check it out. It is from the trip my son Bryce and I took the end of August. The videography is set to my daughter Aspen's original song "Sunrise." Please check ot out. ruclips.net/video/rVAj6hxEC94/видео.html
Yup, typical attitude of us Trolls. Someday you’ll get your wish to be your own state. We love ya anyway. If it weren’t for Hiawatha or the Edmond Fitzgerald, the world wouldn’t know anything about your secret paradise.
Now you got those new campers believing they can just roll in and get the best electric site :) Really, Have you been experiencing over crowding in your travels this season?
LOL! Really, we haven't had much issue. Then again we're not used to reserving anything as this is the first season we've been confined to campgrounds, so we don't have much of a baseline to compare it to. Some of our reservations in the more popular areas have been made a month or two in advance, whereas others we've made only a few days in advance, or even on the fly. Over Labor Day weekend we were in a 5-site town campground in North Dakota that's first-come, first served, and we were the only ones there for the entire three-day holiday. In most cases, though, the campgrounds have been quiet during the week and full, or nearly full on weekends.

Thanks so much Tom! What a great story about your mother in Pequaming, thanks for sharing. Was your grandfather working in the mill?
@@GrandAdventure He did work in the mill and also was a commercial fisherman in his "spare time."
@@tomleonard6177 very cool. It's wonderful to connect a personal story to the history of a place that we've visited.
The UP of Michigan is such a treasure.
No doubt about it.
You have some of the best Videos on RUclips. Thanks for sharing! May God continue to bless you with straight, peace and joy.
Thank you so much, and same from us to you!
The UP is my favorite part of the world. I hope no one else finds out how beautiful it is...lol
It's gorgeous, Ed. Fortunately for those who enjoy it, it's big enough and distant enough that it should maintain its splendor for a long, long time.
Anybody else give Marc an automatic thumbs up even before the video starts? Oh, and Bete Gris is Bay duh gree.
Yup, we knew we'd screw that up! The UP has some tricky local names. Thanks so much!
My wife and I are leaving tomorrow to go to the UP. We will be at the Keweenaw Peninsula next week. Thank you for your video.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip James!
Ayeee! The Mouth of The Huron. That blue bus is mine.
No kidding! When we saw it it looked like the rear wheels may have been stuck. Was that the case?
Binge watched today and all caught up! No cell service for us for awhile. Today it's so smokey we stayed inside and watched Grand Adventure. Dreaming of our next adventure. Great stops you guys have had. Places we have never seen. We've mostly done the western states. Thanks

We love that you love them, Tony. Thank you!

It’s been a while - life.
Hoping to head up to Crater Lake and Mount Lassen next month.
Thanks Marc for putting this road trip together.
It’s been a while since I was up in that area. Did you go by the big sand dunes on the other side of Michigan?
Welcome back! We caught the Grand Sable Dunes in our visit to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in last week's episode. Have a great trip to Crater Lake! And keep an eye on those fires up there.
I have lived in the LAnse area my hole life. You were kicked out of the Pequaming area because it’s privately owned, even though it’s historic.
Fair enough. You live in a gorgeous area and a wonderful town.
Marc,
How's the weather where you are right now? The big man pulled the switcheroo on us. Not bad here in north Texas... just cloudy with some rain.
Gord
Fair, but breezy and chilly here in North Dakota, Gord. It went down to around 32 the past two nights.
@@GrandAdventure Thanks... Glad your free of any snow and having beautiful autumn weather. Snow puts a damper on the fall scenes.
Gord
that would be fun on my dirt bike
Yes it would.
Question, Could you put the time of year that you are at your locations, either by mentioning it or some marquee on the screen? I watch Saturday's release of venture4wd (youtube) where we can get an idea of weather at that time of year.
Ken, we actually put the filming dates in the description of each video for that very reason. In this case it reads, "Filmed: August 10-16, 2020".
@@GrandAdventure I watch RUclips via a Roku on my TV. I have to go to my computer if I need to see details or do a better search. Usually I just look around for a location of interest via Roku. I can do searches on it but usually just scan a row of Grand Adventures videos.
Thanks for the reply....
@@kensterling8628 aaah, makes sense. We have Roku TVs in the trailer and at home, so I understand how YT doesn't provide access to video descriptions when using their Roku app.
Soooo, you gonna beat it back to Utah to check out the powder?
Not enough, John, and hopefully it'll all melt out before accumulating snows arrive; otherwise, we'll end up with a "death layer" of faceted snow that'll avalanche all winter.
Grand Adventure enjoy the moderate Midwest temps as long as you can!
@@DrJohn493 yep, it's the up-and-down of early autumn right now. Never got out of the 50s the past 2 days, but is forecast to reach the upper 80s again in a few days. Never a dull moment!
Hey guys, My latest video "Copper Harbor Michigan, Where the Road Ends and Adventure Begins" is now live on RUclips. Please check it out. It is from the trip my son Bryce and I took the end of August. The videography is set to my daughter Aspen's original song "Sunrise."
Please check ot out.

Nice area we also made it to the end of peninsula . We’ve been there 3 or 4 times we will go back
Is the road out to High Rock Bay usually that wet, or did we just find it that way this time?
Grand Adventure there seems to be a lot of big mud puddles on the way out there
What chased you away in pequaming?
A resident.
I thought it was ok to look at old buildings there
@@up-uw4op apparently one landowner doesn't think so.
Welcome to the UP. But then please go home !!
😁 Don't worry, we're already in North Dakota.
🤣😂🤣 Living in lower Michigan...we know how you Yoppers are. My brother lives in Gwinn.
Yup, typical attitude of us Trolls. Someday you’ll get your wish to be your own state. We love ya anyway. If it weren’t for Hiawatha or the Edmond Fitzgerald, the world wouldn’t know anything about your secret paradise.
Now you got those new campers believing they can just roll in and get the best electric site :) Really, Have you been experiencing over crowding in your travels this season?
LOL! Really, we haven't had much issue. Then again we're not used to reserving anything as this is the first season we've been confined to campgrounds, so we don't have much of a baseline to compare it to. Some of our reservations in the more popular areas have been made a month or two in advance, whereas others we've made only a few days in advance, or even on the fly. Over Labor Day weekend we were in a 5-site town campground in North Dakota that's first-come, first served, and we were the only ones there for the entire three-day holiday. In most cases, though, the campgrounds have been quiet during the week and full, or nearly full on weekends.

Appreciate the tips! Where we you while I was editing? 😄
