You have a negative mind. ;) If you hold up your right hand, and look at the palm side, that is your Lower Michigan map. Harrison is about where the base of your middle finger would be.

It always amazes me every year that we have more people from Georgia and Florida that come to the pigroast than Michigan.

Yup, we be Trolls.
Another bit of trivia is a good amount of Yoopers are
Finnlanders. ;)
I kinda wish I was from the up. there are some nice woods up there
mmm-welcome to the Forum, fm NH. BTW, we talk funny up here too: exactly the same just completely different :D :D :D. All the best, Rob.
Welcome, michiganmilkman, from the state where our former governors work so hard, they even make our license plates! (along with the rest of the inmates)
Welcome michiganmilkman! I'm a troll who lurks here to learn more about a sawmill I don't have yet, and I use upnut as my handle because I'm crazy about the U.P. .........Any questions? Good luck with your sawmill adventure!

The milkman has entered the building. You know, you've got a lot of explaining to do :D ;D :snowball:
Just kidding.
Welcome to the Forestry Forum.
it is odd that we do have more from out of state come to the pig roast, you would think with the michigan members that are here , they would go to the pig roast , it is alot of fun ,talkin with good folks about all sorts of things , and of coarse forestry stuff,, wood ,sawmills etc,, and even for the couple of years we have gone ,, we have met great people and made friends from all over the country ,, so anyway thats all just thought i d throw my 2 cents in
jim
I hear ya about being crazy for the U.P. upnut. I try to get up there once a month I have dome friends near the town of carney on the west side and near rudyard on the east. ive been looking for a farm to buy up there for quite awhile. just kinda hard to find a operating dairy farm or one thats close to being functional.
I certainly miss the UP, my father would be happy if I moved back. He would be so happy that he probably would sell the snow plow that he has on his ranger and invite me over for coffee every winter morning! :snowball:
My brother sold me on doing a sawmill road trip to his land to saw white pine for a new camp and sauna.
Welcome!
This thread sounds like a Michigan conspiracy.
I have an old Michigan up on the hill.
I remember our trip through the UP a couple of years ago ...
We kept seeing these signs for pasties. What are pasties, the Mrs SawyerBrown asks? Beats me! Let's stop for lunch and ask!
So, the Mrs, being the fearless soul that she is, saw a bunch of nice older fellows sitting in a booth, and she walks right up, and asks, "Hey, could you tell me what PAY-stees are?" Well, that brought quite a laugh from the whole crowd, the one gentlemen said something to the effect of, "Well, these are PAY-stees ... " as he swung his upper torso in a whirling motion. "Pah-sties are ... " and then he proceeded to tell us the whole story of pasties as the vegetable and meat pies that miners used to carry in their lunch.
We had to have one ... they were delicious!
Still haven't got the Mrs SawyerBrown to try PAY-stees, however. ;D
Yup, I did the same thing at a restaurant at the Soo. The good part was that I was pointing to the menu. ;D
As we are going from welcoming michiganmilkman to Michigan slang and food I would mention that Cudighi is another good food found almost exclusively in the UP. My favorite way is mozzarella, onions and mustard. Likely only found in the central UP at Ralphs and Lawerys Pastie Shop, both right on Highway 41. Not the most health conscious food, but when your a hard working yooper, you need the calories ;)
Welcome 3m from da beaver state. I originated from the frozen part of the land of cheese, lived in da UP for a time,(Iron Mtn/Kingsford) then went to the "great land" (North to Alaska), then ended up out here where the trees touch th sky. Your procut will do nicely with the 880 providing the heartbeat. 8)
