Git ya a small portable charcoal grill and a cooler. When I hauled equipment to the mines and was in the oil patch THOSE items ALWAYS came in handy!  RIDE SAFE. |

If you take I-75 on the way to/from and like BACON. Try Tony's I-75 restaurant in Birch Run, MI This is the ultimate greasy spoon. 1# of bacon on a BLT http://www.yelp.com/biz/tonys-i-75-restaurant-birch-run St Ignace has all of the restaurants you'll need. I liked the "Galley" on the main drag. |

Not much in Cedarville but head north to Sault Ste. Marie should find some good places there. The Antlers on E. Portage St. is good. Franks Place, Soo Brewing Company, Freighters,Zorbas, Moloney's Alley and several more just don't know there winter hours but shouldn't be a problem. If you head back into St. Ignace The V.I. (Village Inn) and the Mackinaw Grill are good.

The UP is the only area of the USA where mosquitoes have jabbed me through denim jeans. I asked a guy in a bar what the winters were like. He told me that if outside and drinking you had one beer under your coat in your armpit, the other in your hand. Once the beer in hand started to freeze you switched them over.  |

Have never heard of pasty food, im with reb, give me a steak with potatos. We will leave the pasty food for the yuppies. Gavin, my friend, you could not be more wrong. Pasties were made for the miners of Sweedish & Norwegian descent to carry into the copper mines for lunch. Something hearty that is transportable. Pretty much the opposite yuppy food. Mines are not paticularly conducive for a spread of meat and potatoes, thats why the crust is on the outside, to be eaten like a sandwich. They are damn tasty. Like a pot pie. Tony's does happen to be in the same state, but Reb is unlikely to take a 400 mile round trip lunch run  Preston, the locals in the U.P. eat a lot of wild game (vension, bear, fish & fowl), smoked fish, and jerky. Sounds like a fun trip, U.P. in winter is awesome, skeeters are less agressive in snow drifts - take your Gerbings, Buddy! |
