Western UP PET

Spent a few days in the Western UP recently and thought I'd share some pics with you dudes (and lady). The autumn color was past its peak but still pretty deece in certain areas. One thing I like about the UP is you can get around pretty quickly because there are almost no cars on the roads and therefore no cops. But when speeding you definitely have to worry more about animal crossings and drunk yokels than cops.


Stopped briefly at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore as it was sort of on the way, but kept it moving since I've hiked that area pretty extensively in the past so kept heading west toward Copper Harbor.

The drive up 26 heading to Copper Harbor. Lake Superior hugs the road to the west.
Image


Stopped for a brief hike along Lake Superior Trail. It was pretty windy. You could say the gales of November came early.
Image


Views along the drive.

Top of the hill.

Overlooking the town of Copper Harbor.

Left there and headed to the Porcupine Wilderness State Park two hours south, home to a pretty extensive stand of old growth northern hardwood forest. Lots of sugar maple, yellow birch, and eastern hemlock...for those into that sort of thing.
Image


Hiked a trail several miles through the forest to the Lake of the Clouds.
Image


I dig fungus.

Ran into Dan Vogel's buddy down by the lake

These two were shy and didn't want their pictures taken

Had to start some shit with them deer btw. I walked up to em and was like "the fuck you lookin' at? Huh? You wanna take this outside? What's that, bitch? You wanna take this outside? Oh yeah, I guess we are outside." Then BAM, clocked em both right in the face.

Rack the PET. We were up there 7 years ago and got over to the Madeline Island area as well. Beautiful country.

Nice job, Mgo.

Fantastic place to be in the fall.
Beats the hell out of San Francisco.

Nice PET. You must have used an expensive camera. Did AP give you a suggestion?

Absolutely love this time of year. Last week I had a 2 day "work" to VT. Gotta love being paid to drive through VT at the peak of colors.

I am convinced that the week or two show is just g0d/allah/yaweh/spaghetti monster/buddah's way of saying, "OK, I am about to be a fukking DICK to you for about 5-6 months and I sorta feel a little guilty. So here's a little something nice for ya".

In socal, he's like "you lucky fukks, I am about to actually make your weather better. You don't deserve it, especially you faggots, so you get brown scrubs and I am gonna burn half of them, just to be an ass. And if I am feeling particularly douchey, maybe I'll throw in a mudslide or 3.

Nice. One thing I miss about CNY at this time of year is the fall foliage.

Beautiful pics Magoo...
To bad the Golden Gate isn’t surrounded by fake fog in that forest...oh well..we can’t have everything I guess.
Did you see any used syringes? Piss stained trails? A tranny with numerous body piercings and purple/pink hair scaring the crap out of the wildlife?
No?
You missed out buddy...

He really should have mixed in some stock photos just for good measure.

Nicely done Mgo, we've had a pretty brilliant fall foliage season here in the U & R as well.

If you have to book an airline ticket in order to get laid you're either desperate or a pedophile. In your case, I'll go with both.

I think that was the tag-line for the last TuneTown...



Tastefully stated, of course.
