How do you guys find places to camp? I'm trying to find somewhere in Michigan's UP to go but it's proving really hard. I'd like somewhere where you have to hike at least 10 miles to get to and somewhere where I can make a campfire.

You use FIB all the way up there? I live in Iowa now, but I am from Illinois originally. I hate that state and will never return except for food or art. Haven't been back but to see some friends a few years ago. Thank God only me and Kevin Costner think this place is heaven.

Is the UP usefully cooler than the rest of the eastern us in mid-summer? Is it worth driving all the fucking way there to escape the heat? If so, what's there to see? I don't care about boats or lakes. I like pretty views.

I'm planning on going in the fall, I've actually never been up there in the summer, I heard there's lots of mosquitos in the summer.

Quiet forests. Like you go out there and you can't hear highways or anything, just trees and forest sounds, I love it.
