I really enjoy the show! My father and I used to go up north all the time. Until he fell ill and passed away few months ago. I found out I had stage 3 lymph node cancer - I'm only 32. I have a 3-year-old daughter. Hopefully the treatment fixes my problem, so me and my daughter can go up and enjoy the U.P. like me and my father.

Loved it! I am always looking for places for my family to have fun in the winter. It's too easy to become a coach potato in the colder months. This gives us something to get us out and moving. Really love the snowmobile trails part. Keep up the good work!

Myself and my wife have camped in Tawas, but we didn’t realize all the area had to offer. I did like the episode on the Tawas area, and we’ll be watching for shows on the different areas you go to.

Loved this week’s show. I love the U.P. that I've seen in the summer, and it is awesome to see what I've missed in the winter. Our state has so much history, and lakes with so much danger and beauty it defies imagination. I am sending the video to my son in- law in Georgia who loves snowmobiling and wants to move to Michigan. Watch out daughter, you may be practicing law in the U.P.!

Was such a difference seeing many of the locations in the winter. I have visited the Tahquamenon falls both in the summer and winter. My wife and I have visited the U.P. every summer since retiring in late November 2011 with our small motorhome. Many visits to Whitefish Point, Vermilion, Perkins Park in Big Bay, ate several times at the Lumber Jack Tavern. Walked the town of Big Bay several times, visited Grand Marais (Woodland Park), Lake Superior Brewing (Enjoyed the fresh broiled whitefish), rock shop and hardware store in Grand Marais. Our favorite is the Keweenaw from Michigan Technological University (alma mater) to Fort Wilkins State Park. Loved your show, would like the wife to see it. Thanks, Bob

It was a great show. I’ve been to Taquananon falls in September and winter 20+ years ago. Never got the chance to go back again. I was living in Texas for 10 years, and missed all things Michigan. These kinds of shows renew my interest in rediscovering more of Michigan I’ve seen, or would like to discover. The areas featured in this video will be a great start. Thanks, Janet

I was absolutely riveted watching this and the beauty of it in the winter time. It was so cool, because I could sit here and say I've been there to that place. Unfortunately, never in the winter time. Thank you for taking me there in the winter.

AWESOME! I had no idea how beautiful Michigan can be during the Winter. I'm 70 years old, and will probably never have the opportunity to experience this adventure on a snowmobile. Thank you for an enjoyable evening of travel.

This episode was awesome! My family and I were just up in the Paradise area snowmobiling the weekend of January 12-15, 2018. We go at least once or twice a season to this area. One of our favorite spots to snowmobile. We snowmobiled to Big Bay last February and stayed at Thunder Bay Inn. We also walked over to Lumberjack for a beer. Absolutely LOVE seeing the U.P. on this show. Thank you, Deb

After being on a boat trip around Grand Island, I especially loved that segment. I love the Tahquamenon Falls area and the White Fish Point Paradise area (that we fish quite often). This winter trip was so beautiful and would watch it again with my daughter and her family. Thank you for making this possible. Love your programs.

Such beautiful sites in the winter of the U.P., and information about the different places in the Upper Peninsula. That I wasn't even familiar with, but after watching the show I would really want to go visit. Also learned about the book or movie from there in the 1950's. Thank you for the wonderful show of our state. Look forward to many more shows. Thank you!

Wow! I stumbled across this episode today! Wanted to run out, buy a snowmobile and travel all over the Upper Peninsula! I spent a short vacation in some of those locations a couple summers ago, but now I'm inspired to get up there during the winter! Thanks so much for sharing this! Great photography, great narration, great destinations!

I loved it! My wife and I vacationed to Sault Ste. Marie, Whitefish Point, Taquamanon Falls, Marquette this past summer and again in the early fall. Took the Agawa train trip, too. Never have been there in the winter, though. Now I want to go back in the winter! Will plan on it next winter (other plans set for the rest of this winter.) Thanks so much for the show.

I love the Tawas Area. I will drive from Lapeer area to Tawas for just a day trip. I really enjoy the Point with the state park, lighthouse, and the walk to the point. And, most of all, the River Road area. Keep up the great work for a Great day or weekend Getaways.

This show was awesome, took wife 2 weeks later to lighthouse in Ludington at end of pier. It was 1 day after the thunderstorm from hell, took trees down from Baldwin to Ludington. Love your shows, we travel on a budget, disability pay, but love seeing all these places in our state.
