allllright, so now I'm excited- My friend left Florida yesterday, and is currently passing through Georgia- We're going to go to Macinac Island and all over the Upper Peninsula- and see what happens- etcee- we'll probably take the road back to CA that you took here! I'm looking forward to it- And I picked up an old book of my aunt's yesterday, Call It North Country which is all about the lives of the people that settled the Upper Peninsula over generations, and what it's like "now"... well it was first published in 1915, and republished in '45 and '86-
Somehow, I see a lot of parallels from that turn of the century to our recent one- growing concern over the environment, diminishing wilderness, political lack of action over the matter, over-use of natural resources, over-logging, and such... Although the people mentioned in the book would be rolling over in their graves to see the levels now inciting our concern today
And I would give an awful lot to have the "diminishing" wilderness they complained about a hundred years ago.
Anybody wanna meet up for the mission? or parts of it? Should be fun
Porcupine Mountain, Tahquamenon Falls, Keewenaw... hopefully some of that overwhelming wilderness I've been reading about remains- anybody been?
