Product Description

Whether you know someone who is truly an outdoor adventurer, one who longs to be, or one who lives vicariously, this book is an easy read through the remoteness and beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It is not just personal recollection, though that is a great deal of it, but also chock full of ideas for their next great U.P. outdoor adventure. He gets beyond the well-trodden familiar places, and shares experiences in such diverse sites as Rock River Canyon Wilderness, Crisp Point, Big Island Lake Wilderness, Lake Fanny Hooe, and McCormick Wilderness, just to name a few. The stories are enlivened with pen-and-ink drawings by Julie Highlen, the author’s spouse.
