Unless you happen to be in Alaska? Then you might be heading south!

Hmmm....I've seen that sign before. End of the I-75 before you hit the Soo (Sault Ste. Marie)....

On the other hand, if you're still headed north, you've still got 300 miles or so before you even get to T-Bay (Thunder Bay) !

I've seen that sign before, it's only 5 or 6 hours east of here.

Have a good trip!

Rick

P.S. You might get snowed, in....there is snow in the forecast for Upper MI on Saturday.

Okay Guys?
Since you are talking the UP, what the heck are "pasties"? NO CRAIG, NOT THOSE PASTIES! I have seen signs up there along Hwy2 for them but never bothered to stop and try them.
Did stop for all you can eat pickerel (walleye) in one of those Iron(something) towns!
Otherwise - watch out for the deer on the roads there!
Thanx,
G.

Thumbs down Re: Took a wrong turn

Totally depends on how you pronounce the A.......

The kind of pasty that's COOKED is a filled PASTRY thing.......

Pasties originated in the copper mining communities of Michigan's Upper Peninsula & are still very popular, today.They're a meat/vegetable filled pastry kinda like a pot pie, but the pie crust is folded over instead of being pie like. I make them quite often. I use chopped potatoes, carrots, rutabagas, cabbage & seasoned ground beef. Some put in gravy...I don't. You can even breakfast ones.

Sault Ste Marie is correct. Nice time of year to start a job at the Soo Locks

Just wrap a heat tape around everything before you put your coveralls on and be sure to tape the extension cord together so it stays plugged in.. You'll be fine.
ps: it will be deer season soon, so don't go on a hike in your brown carharts

Man, they'll let anybody behind the wheel!!

Never know, you might end up dragging some more iron home. It looks like you have plenty of equipment to load the truck.
