[MI Friend]

Not sure why this forum is not used? As a outdoor person who enjoys contact and trading info with others who appreciate what we have I am somewhat sad! We only live one time and the next generation needs to be encouraged! If the old guys, like me, do not talk and share what we are doing the resource will be lost. Too easy to just read the messages and ignore. Take pride in MI!! Best to all!

I hear you MI friend... From an person that was born and raised in the Western part of the UP, you never realize how good you had it until you leave. I only live 1.5hrs away from my old stomping grounds but I miss what Michigan has to offer already and I have only been gone for 2 years. It truly is an untapped resource and most like to keep it that way, but no reason not to share memories, tips, and hotspots.

Over the past 4 years I have set up a few ice fishing get-togethers on Lake Gogebic. It is easy to get a commitment in the fall but once it's time very few show up. I can tell you, typically those who do show up really enjoy themselves and some come home with long time memories and maybe even a mount or two.

I can say that Gogebic has a part of me that never leaves and the need to come back is very strong. I have only been going there a short time in the big picture of things. But its a place that always seems like home and that makes it hard to leave a great place and kind people,its like leaving home. I have always trusted my gut feeling about things and the UP feels good. The people we have meet there, I am glad to be able to call them friends and that what makes it great place.

good points Ken, and I agree from this little area of this great site I feel like I have made some life long friends even though I only see them maybe 2 times per year. I really look forward to each March when I see Minnesota licenses plates sitting in Gus's parking lot, good times are always had.
