    Yooper here, been watching you since before you really got big. The large part of the Sturgeon River gorge is farther down river. It really does get much larger than what you saw. Yes Yooper and Troll.

    Great video! When you come back to Michigan to have to visit the Porcupine Mountains State Park in the UP. The lake of the clouds, bonanza falls, presque isle waterfall loop, cascade falls and agate falls trails are not to be missed!

    The Black Hole evened the score for Pops. He's afraid of heights and you're claustrophobic.
    The UP was gorgeous. Like Pops I like waterfalls and they were amazing. And like him too many steps. My feet and ankles won't do em anymore. Love the mushroom houses.
    Amazing how many parks Michigan has. Lake Superior is an awesome backdrop to almost everything.
    With all the goodies you two eat it's a wonder either of you can fit into your clothes. That fudge really looked so good I could almost taste it. Thank you for the armchair tour of museums, historic sites and tourist traps.

    Yes, Yooper comes from U Per, someone from the U.P.. As a native New Yorker turned Michigander, I loved learning about that little tidbit. And yep, that makes me a troll, living under the mighty Mack bridge in the lower peninsula.

    Hello! May I suggest you consider visiting Jim Thorpe, PA? It’s a picturesque small town in the middle of the Poconos. There is a beautiful park, railway and the museums, and a memorial to Jim Thorpe explaining the history of the towns name. I’d also suggest the Inn at Jim Thorpe, which his a historical building with reportedly haunted room.

    Glad Pops didn’t go on the lift! I too get vertigo and have height issues . My sweet family thought I should ride on a lift in West Virginia on a 90 degree july day !!
    I started to pass out, and my husband had to hold me in the seat😬
    A trail guide rode me 6500 feet zigzagging down the mountain in an old golf cart ! They spotted me from an outlook post and waited for our car so they could get me out and off the mountain. INCREDIBLY embarrassing 😳

    satans' religions make you human slaves believe that god has wife named mary whom it has never copulated with so she must be virgin mary who gave birth to god's son
    have you human slaves witnessed any virgin woman who has became pregnant & gave birth ?
    were your great grand mothers virgins when they gave birth to your grand parents ?
    were your grand mothers virgins when they gave birth to your parents ?
    were your mothers virgins when they gave birth to you human slaves ?
    if god truly did not want & need adam & eve to eat from certain tree then why did god create & place such tree around adam & eve if you human slaves truly don't want your children to consume poison then would you leave poison on the dining tables ?
    if god truly did not want & need adam & eve to eat from certain tree then why did god create & place such tree around adam & eve why did god create hell called earth where god abandoned adam eve & the ruling satans unless god wanted adam & eve to be abandoned ?
