Synopsis

Chambers of Commerce won't be giving this book away any time soon! A high-spirited, humorous look at a special land and the challenges of living in a remote region with more trees than people, long winters, and two-track roads. Visitors are warned about the climate, insects, wildlife, local residents and other potential "dangers." In a more serious epilogue, the author asks that visitors tread gently on the land and fold themselves into the Upper Peninsula way of life that its residents hold dear. Illustrated with regional map and 12 black/white drawings.
