If it makes you mad, I'd suggest you buy into this privet club. If you can't do that today, than I'd suggest you aim that anger at your ancestors. Personally, I've not the time to get mad at people who purchased a chunk of property, X years ago.

My ancestors?

Eh I don't actually spend my time being mad at them, it is what it is. I don't have time to visit the UP multiple times per year so membership is a non starter. But would I support eminent domain to create a premier new national park? yes.

Show me another similarly humongous place in the US of such distinct and special regional beauty, within daily driving reach of millions of americans, that is completely private and off limits to civilians. Yes, plenty of rich guys have huge ranches out west, but that's just normal there. It's not here, in the midwest.

Just because these guys used their obscene gilded-age/prohibition era wealth to bully all the indigenous and early settlers out of this area and fence it off, doesn't mean they should still be able to take this kind of natural splendor away from us all today. The good news is, the rest of the UP is also incredibly beautiful, and available to enjoy.

Snow has largely shut down and I'm off work today for appointments but I'll try snap a few pics for you guys.

Here is a few from around town today. Top pic is a local business parking lot. Do note the dump truck on the left and what he is hauling.

Here is where the dump truck was heading.

On our street. Our house in the brown one on the right.

Yes and two axles in front of his tandems in the rear . Something you don't see in south Fla .

Yes. I just came in from watching the dog teams pass on the trail on my property.

The dump truck was hauling snow to the dump, I took a picture of. We're getting some snowy, icy and windy weather here today, but no serious moisture amount is predicted. We'll be out for a ski shortly and I'll try get a few pics for you guys.

The boss is still in the shop with no end to its miss firing engine as of yet...

Oh, here is some pics taken a week or so ago, I didn't process.

Looking down our street.

In our yard. We really do have one, but its not here. The blade was off the Boss for repairs. The snow gets pushed back here to allow the trailer to be used. It might still be a foot deep of impacted material. The yard snow gets pushed back to the dump behind the trailer but its not really visible in this pic. The larger pile is made by a pay-loader and I run the Boss between his pile and the pine trees dozing it out..
