Food....we stopped at a roadside stand and bought Michigan blueberries, tomatoes and sweet corn. We plan to eat a pasty.....an Upper Peninsula specialty. They are a type of meat pie, filled with diced rutabaga, carrots, potatoes and meat or chicken. We read that they were eaten by the miners as a cheap, easy-to-carry lunch. We also hope to buy whitefish, also famous up here.

Day 3....August, 2013
HHeaded east, on a very scenic highway that hugged Lake Superior. Stopped at a brew pub we found in our Michigan beer guide. On to Munising where we planned to stay. The campsites along the lake were all filled up, so we went inland. Found another beautiful national forest with a campsite. The camp host welcomed us, and helped us park. These national forest campsites are real gems. All so far are on pristine, untouched lakes with nice sites, grills, and even poles to hang garbage to keep bears away! We took it easy, riding bikes, fishing, and reading.

Sounds grand! We were up in northern Wisconsin and the UP recently and enjoyed a pasty, too! They're great! Easy to make and they freeze well, too. Have a great day! Hope you make it to Copper Harbor and Taquamenon Falls.
ReplyDeleteNeed More Pictures!! I ate a lot of pasties at UW/Madison. I can say with good authority they go great with beer. Smoked whitefish (which you should see lots of) goes great with a nice savignon blanc. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletePasty. Love em. An Iron Range delight as well. Drive safely! - Jay
