Anyone ever ride the U.P. of MI.?
Wife and I are gonna head back up to the U.P. this fall for several days. It's awesome up there in the fall. Just curious if anyone has some first hand experience of what to do and where to go ideas. I have a general idea of what we'll do, and where we'll go, but the more info the better... So chime in as you please. Gonna head up for the first week in October if anyone wants to try to join up for a day.
Some U.P. Suggestions.....
I spent 10 days camping in Copper Harbor (cage & camper) a couple of years ago. Lots of beautiful things to see there. If I recall rightly, Fort Wilkins was cool, and the Delaware Mine was interesting.
Recently I drove back from North Dakota on Route 2. Peaceful, scenic ride. Watch for the deer (antlered rats, Uncle Joe called them). I found some of the smaller, roadside rest stops were just as neat as the major State and National parks.
Earlier this summer, I rode with the "girl posse" up to Brimley, near St. Ignace. Again, beautiful scenery. The bridge, on the Spyder, was barely tolerable, due to my fear of heights. Thats a big bridge! We left early on a Sunday morning & had difficulty finding an open gas station.
Oh, and Fayette Historic State Park is another place to not miss.
Have fun.

I spend a lot of time in the UP.
I am a regular visiter to the UP. Snowmobiling, motorcycling, fishing, cruising in the car and site seeing.
Here is a link to a wedsite that has a UP motorcycle travel guide, I have one from 2013, very useful.
