As a Michigan Tech grad, my buddy and I would take our bikes to the very end of US41 and ride to the very tip of the peninsula. I was a great ride with great views.
? Lived there for a year! Beautiful awesome country..but you will not escape the crazies there... people there are mean spirited & can be quite vile & vicious if u hang around to long! You have been warned....
The next time you get to Copper Harbor go up to Brockway Mountain. You can get a overlook view of the town and at the top you can get great views of Lake Superior and the little valleys around there. I flew my drone their last week when I visited and will post video when I get the chance.
I did do the Brockway mountain drive. Not sure if it was this trip or the trip a year before or after. lol But you are right it is a stunning location! :) all the best
it really is.. don't quote me on those numbers but think I am pretty close if my memory serves me. lol I think some close but there is also more winter trips up there and many "normal" people would think. lmao
This might be the type of area where they actually turn it over to the post office for delivery. There are actually many places that fed ex and UPS don't take it all the the way to the end destination... but the post office ALWAYS does.
Thunder bay is about 90 miles from Copper Harbor - so that is further than people can see. Now, Isle Royale is actually MUCH closer to Canada than it is to Michigan. The summer after this video I took a boat there but from Grand Portage Minnesota. Michigan got the Upper Peninsula and Isle Royale when the US Gov settled a near war between Ohio and Michigan.
Exactly brown signs are usually a point of interest...state parks ,public access sites , assorted attractions, campgrounds I often just turn off direction a brown sign points sometimes its something great other times not so much but I have found some good places by just following brown signs I have also wasted a fair bit of time. You drove past some brown signs unless I know the place I have a hard time driving past a brown sign
very true. I used to tease my ex wife all the time with "historical marker" signs. Every time I'd see one I was like I'm going to stop - turn on the signal and everything -- she'd get all mad. lol

That is some of the best mountain biking in the country!!
What a delightful town. In today's world it's best to get as far away from the crazies as you can. This is the spot to go!
can't argue that at all !! lol

Thanks for all the videos! I really enjoy watching them.
thanks - glad you enjoy them
Be there and done most of what you showed and then some... Loved it there!
There is so much neat things to see and do. I did a video of other things including going out to the old NASA launch site which was awesome!!
It is a beautiful place. If there are so few people who stay up there in the winter, do all the businesses close down?
it really is.. don't quote me on those numbers but think I am pretty close if my memory serves me. lol I think some close but there is also more winter trips up there and many "normal" people would think. lmao
Wander Dano I have heard that there are actually people who enjoy cold and snow. Go figure! Hahahahahah
there are times I enjoy the snow - but it fades away pretty quick. lol
Wander Dano Hahhahahha.
Very pretty😎 thank you 4 sharing.

I wonder how much trouble it is for fed-x and ups in areas like that in the winter

You can see copper harbour from the Canadian side sometimes also?

Wander Dano is Marquette Michigan around there too?

The brown signs always get me... The brown signs are the biggest time trap.
not sure I follow... I think many state park signs are brown.

Wife is as bad as I am maybe this is why we don't plan trips we would never get to where we were going.
lol

Tamarack inn is pretty good food.
If I get back I will keep that in mind - I've been to Harbor House and that place was very good!
It’s not “royalle”, it is ROY-el. Like a king.
When I made this I heard it said both ways and now I know the right way.
My father grew up here

I want to move there
I feel that way every time I go too.
