'Bilers.

That's what the kids around here call snowmobilers. Why? Cause there are so many of them!

The trail behind our house counted 56,000 sleds last winter. Even if they went past twice, that's a lot of sleds!

This is the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan.  The place we live probably doubled its population when the kids and I moved in. Rousseau doesn't have a post office, we get our mail from Mass City. If you put the right name, but wrong address we'll get it anyway. So why should you know about the UP? What do we have to interest you?

SNOW

Lots of snow. We measure snow in feet, not inches.

We don't have a lot of fancy motels or restaurants, and it's a long way between stops. It is some of the most rugged country you will see, with deep ravines and rock bluffs, mountain tops with a view of Lake Superior all in one day. So if you're looking to be pampered this isn't the place, if you are looking to ride, I invite you to come make tracks in our snow!

This area is called "God's Country" come see why.
