Hello. I am the often forgotten Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If you like nature, snow, shitty weather in general, wide open spaces, clean air, alcohol, hicks, animals, camp parties, embarassing accents, hicked-out trucks, and small town mentalities, you'll love me! What's there to forget about, eh?
