By Nathan — On July 15th Dad and I took a weekend trip to the Upper Peninsula to see an old high school buddy of his, a cool guy named Herb. Herb and his family live in a town near Munising and have a place on a resort they call “Camp.” Herb has two sons and a wife who all love to ride four-wheelers and snowmobiles, so when they go to camp they can ride them. The first night Dad and I got to camp, we waited for Herb to come meet us, because his oldest son was having surgery on his toe. When they got to the cabin and everyone was settled, we rode the four-wheelers to a restaurant nearby.
The four-wheelers where very fun to be on and very easy to ride. The next morning we got up and had breakfast, then went on a glass-bottom boat tour on Lake Superior. The boat tour was great! We went to a few different wrecks, both you could see clearly, and the narrator even explained what parts of the ship we were looking at and how it sank.
When we got back to the house, we got on the four-wheelers and rode a little while with the intention of going to a grocery store to get some pop. It started raining on us halfway through and Herb pulled over and asked if we wanted to keep going. Dad and I were both fine, so we kept going. Then it really started pouring. Once it started raining harder, we would just splash through giant puddles which was really fun. Once we got back to camp, Herb made hamburgers for dinner and we watched a movie. The morning after, we had pancakes for breakfast and then Dad and I left. My first trip to the UP was awesome, and I hope to have many more.
