Motorcyclist passes through the U.P. on journey

A motorcyclist writing for the New York Times blogs has been chronicling a journey from west to east across the U.S., which in his most recent post, included a trip through the U.P.

Excerpt: The U.P., as Michiganders call it, started to look less like a rural farmscape and more like a vacation paradise – full of boats, bikinis and ice cream stands – as I veered again toward Lake Superior. With an actual goal in mind — the Canadian side of Sault Ste. Marie — I was forced to miss a number of enticing places. I did not stop to investigate Giant’s Foot Park, the Dead River Storage Basin, Heart Lake, Petticoat Lake, Parent Lake, King Lake, Little King Lake, Trout Lake, Bass Lake, Coon Lake, Turtle Flambeau Flowage, Bond Falls Flowage or Rat Lake Swamp.
