A Vacation in Paradise

Praise the Lord! What a beautiful vacation He blessed me with this past week! Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is truly God’s country with its beautiful waterfalls and lakes, abundant trees and wildlife and white sand beaches. This was my first trip there and will definitely not be my last. God literally sent me to Paradise located in the northern part of the U.P. close to Canada. In honor of this special visit, I have created 10 Signs that you are in the U.P.

Ten Signs that you are in the U.P.

You just might be in the U.P. if…

1. Every motel, forest, park, and utility company is named Hiawatha.

2. You are never more than five miles away from a lake, lighthouse or waterfall.

3. Snowmobile signs abound.

4. You find yourself consuming Mackinac Island Fudge or Moose Tracks ice cream.

5. Every highway you travel on is located in the middle of a forest.

6. The natives refer to themselves as the Youpers.

7. Pasties are something you eat rather than something you wear.

8. You need to make frequent emergency stops for wildlife – deer, ducks, or cranes crossing the road.

9. You spend your vacation at White Cloud, Cloud Nine, or Thunder Cloud cabins.

10. You find yourself dining out at the Bear Butt.
