u.p., u.p., and away!...


packing up and prepping "the pod" (car top carrier) for our semi-annual trek to the upper peninsula of michigan where we'll invade twin lakes resort. this all started about 20 years before i met my wife as it was her family's summer getaway every year. not much has changed in cabin # 9 since those days. i haven't been since 2007, which was also the year the taurus took some major hail damage, but the wife and kids went with grandpa last year. the plan is to leave saturday morning and arrive late afternoon in time to fire up the grill. we're walking distance to the parkview lodge, where we plan to eat at least once, and hang at twin lakes java, which according to their 2007 website posting had wi-fi "in the works". we'll see about that but either way don't expect to hear much from me in the way of blogs or tweets. it's a lo-tech affair and always has been. i'll take plenty of pics, maybe shoot some video and post later, but the emphasis is on the beach, bonfires, hiking, golfing, feeding the mosquitoes, and just generally being as lazy as possible.
