Yes, I'm making a pilgrimage to Julie's home state.  Be in the Upper Peninsula tho'. 

About 20 of us from our loca camera club are going.  Should be a fun trip.  Lot's of rain in the forecast, so have to shoot around that.

Will try to keep up with the board as best as I can with the phone.  Old people just aren't very good with small stuff. :emot_laughing:

See you guys next week, hopefully with a few good pictures.

Yay!

Also home to many other current and former members, CoachEric, RedHatLover, Emanresu (aka Cap'n), Joe_and_Michele, to name a few (feel free to add your name if you're from the great state of MI).

Maybe I should road trip up north to meet you.

The U.P. is spectacular.   I haven't been in a couple of years.  It's usually a place I go to in the summer but my last few summers have been too busy.

Have a safe trip MSSLAVE.  I can't wait to see your pictures.   A bonus if you get a picture of the animal that one of our universities has as a mascot.   The mighty wolverine.  Good luck, I'm counting on you.

Many believe that Michigan has never had a live mascot on the sidelines.  This is not true.  According to the story, Fielding Yost led a charge to bring two live wolverines, named Bennie and Biff, to Michigan Stadium in 1927.

"The live wolverines were a disaster. When Biff was first placed into his cage a week before the game, he snapped a bar in two with his teeth. Said Yost of the wolverine experiment, which ended after that first season: "It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them, and those designs were by no means friendly." After the season, Bennie was sent to the Detroit Zoo while Biff was placed in the now-defunct University of Michigan Zoo."

The things you learned watching Jeopardy for $200, Alex...

I thought of that Jeopardy program also when MJ mentioned wolverines. Those are mean creatures. Now if msslave captures with his camera a bald eagle......

Me thinks msslave and his friends are actually part of a nudist group meeting in the UP.. 8)

Watcher you dog. You heard we got busted then.

We've had a string of 80 degree weather before the trip, now we're in 50s today. So, we get to "our" spot and do that thing! Next thing ya know, the cold air has it's effect on us guys   :emot_weird:

The women all started laughing so loud, the rangers busted in on us.

It seems all the laughter over the shriveled "parts" was disturbing the bears getting ready to hibernate!

Yes, cold is not a man's friend but it does perk up the women.

Boy, did you leave yourself open for Liz to make a comment.  ;D

Does that mean when you are on a big screen computer something else is big?

Forget It......."tiny" is tiny......no getting around it.
Even a magnifying glass only helps for a minute, and increasing the screen value on your computer to 250% isn't really that helpful (except for your ego)......so good luck making little things into big things.......

Love,

Michigan is kicking Nebraska’s ASS on national TV.  Nebraska is going to drop to 0-3 for the first time since 1945!  How’s that whole Big 10 thing working out for you Cornhuskers?

Nebraska was limited to minus-six rushing yards in the first half, as Michigan recorded seven tackles for loss and four sacks. If you exclude the sacks, the Cornhuskers ran six times for six yards.  46-3 in the third.

Mark’s gotta be loving this.

Yes, I'm making a pilgrimage to Julie's home state. 

It's an area I know next to nothing about, but I'm jealous of even the slim chance of bumping into Jules.

Hi happy followers.  Back safe and sound. Happy cats!

Will write up a brief report tomorrow. Loading pictures on the computer now. Lots of waterfall pictures. No wildlife sadly.  Wife and I did see a bear cub. He was poking his head out of the woods by the side of the road.  Ducked back in as soon as he saw us.  Cute little guy.

I think it was 56-3 and Nebraska was about to score.  He's yelling at the TV for the defense to stop them.   I'm thinking, "IT'S 56-3, WHAT IS A TOUCHDOWN GOING TO MATTER?"
They scored.  I was happy for Nebraska.

Yes, Mark was in a good mood yesterday during the game.

Msslave -  glad you have safely returned home. Am anxiously awaiting those nudist pics. 8)

I spent the time while you were up in the UP cleaning up the cobwebs and stuff in Liz's hayloft and when I asked her to come up and see what I had done all I heard was "bite me".

That's from a couple of years ago, isn't it.   It was 56-10 this weekend, mister.

Don't know when it was from...just wanted to get something posted. Busy yesterday, but should have some pictures of the actual trip up today.  Mostly waterfalls. We did tour a restored lighthouse in Ontonagon. Visited it several years ago when they were just starting to work on it.  I'll dig out the old pictures and see what I took then.  I wasn't doing much photography back then but I know there's some pics.

Here's a beautiful mushroom Wife spotted on one of the trails to a waterfall.

Yellow Patches (Amanita flavaconia)-poisonous!
Pretty to look at, but don't eat.
