ABOUT UP NORTH MICHIGAN
To those of us who grew up in Michigan, "up north" began north of Clare and in some cases north of Indian River. 100 years ago "up north" meant the Frontier, any place north of the Sauk Trail.
ACROSS THE FRONTIER
Historically speaking it wasn't always this way. When Michigan was
being opened to exploration and settlement, most folks arrived in
Detroit first. Going west from there usually involved a journey down
the Great Sauk Trail, US 12 today, to Chicago. That road was the
frontier. Up north of that road was wilderness Michigan where even
wolverines were known to prowl.
UP NORTH
Traditionally we think of "up north" in Michigan as the territory
from Clare to "the bridge". Treasures and legends abound from Lake
Huron to Lake Michigan.
THE YOOPERS
The upper peninsula of Michigan is as different from the lower as
can be imagined. Nearly a third of the land mass of the state, the
upper offers amazing variety east and west.
