Too bad Dana Montgomery or Mike Roberts, (El Destructo) don't come on here anymore, they both live around Marquette. You can find both of them on Facebook.

Its a very barren land. Not fruitful or bountiful in the least. As stated above, there are pockets of this and that, but you can drive hours in between them. Beauty? Lots of that. The only place in the UP I would even start to consider living would be all the way to the west above Wisconsin.

Barren?  I thought it was mostly forested.  Can you elaborate a bit?  Also, why would you live in the Western UP but not the rest?

JEB:
My dad lived in  the western U.P., Crystal Falls, 8 miles from Wisconsin so all my thoughts and opinions were made based on my experiences that I had there when I visited, hunted and fished in that area.  If you want peace and isolation then the U.P. is where you need to be.

Again, you move in that area I can put you on to some real good public land bear hunting.

PEARL DRUMS:
Barren as far as game animals. The land itself is incredibly thick and nasty in most areas, the game can run quite thin for mile after mile after mile. The west side, in my opinion, has more good outdoor opportunity's as far as fishing and hunting. The entire thing is something to behold. It may sound like I hate it, I don't. Its just a nice place to visit.

Well, that's a lot to think about, gents.  Thanks for all the info.  Most likely our plan isn't going to work out anyway.  Always fun to dream, though.   8)
