ATTN Midwest Mags! DA U.P.

**yooper** · 04-16-2007, 07:46 PM

End of season mini-summit. Marquette Mountain, Saturday. We're grilling out and drinking beer on the hill all day. Traditionally, we set up a makeshift golf course on the hill and hit around some plastic practice balls. Bottle rockets, firecrackers and other fireworks are never out of the question. We have a set of tandem skis that usually make an appearance...

Costumes and/or retro attire are both welcome and encouraged.

Check in here. Who's coming?

Damn't! Finally a summit in The Mitten, and I'll be out in stupid Colorado!

I'd make the drive from down south to kick it with some yooper mags any other weekend, just can't this one...

Not that it matters....but it's not actually in the mitten.

The Mitten is the LP. The LP is shaped like a mitten. See?

Way to represent in the Midwest. Hope you have a good time, I won't be able to make the drive.

Would love to make it, but spent my last weekend at Bohemia. Sounds like a blast, and almost identical to my past few trips to dah yoo-pee. Have fun, you crazy kids.

**YooperSteeze** · 04-16-2007, 11:15 PM

Might make the trek up there from Milwaukee, got something else going on in Houghton that Saturday too that I've been on the fence about.

**flatNshallow** · 04-17-2007, 04:14 AM

Ah the irony... and me here with tickets to saturdays Wings game... I guess I just have to root for a sweep.

Have fun, ey?

Anyone up for some boating?

**INDY GS** · 04-20-2007, 07:30 AM

Damn, glad I checked into this thread. I was getting ready to pack up for the trip up north. Shiiiiit. Well, I guess, maybe the season should be over for me. The Honey-do list has been growing all winter long.

**yooper** · 04-20-2007, 08:21 AM

more of a seasonal opportunist Iliketothink...

PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE, BE CAREFUL, AND CONSCIOUS OF OTHER MOUNTAIN BIKERS AND GOLFERS

**smalls** · 04-20-2007, 09:05 AM

That's stupid. I play disc golf because it costs me no money (now that the pup can find the discs in the woods and streams). Granted, every spring most of the regulars help out in cleaning up/clearing out the course.

I'll go into to the woods and designate different trees as "holes" before I would pay to play.

**fonixmunkee** · 04-20-2007, 09:21 AM

Threw storage wax on my last pair of sticks today. My season is over. Golf clubs are now where the skis used to go. A sad day, indeed.

Have fun, Yoopers!
