Quite a thing, the Odyssey: constant motion, movement. A kaleidoscope of images: Spike's Keg o Nails in Grayling, the Sugar Bowl in Gaylord, the road bird in the Pigeon River, the Jolly Roger, the Trout River Tavern, innumerable mom 'n pop motels, lovely Sam in Munising, the Seney Plains and Mr. Clark, the Veneer Dome in Marquette--and the 70 mile loop road nearby where we drove 8 hrs and were never out of sight of popple--Bergland's Bar near Lake Gogebic, and their annual grouse tournament ('bonus to the FIRST team that brings in their 10 bird limit'). Indian Jail and the bird at dusk. And more and more.
What a great place, the UP. long lonely roads, small towns still limping along, and more grouse cover than a dedicated grouser could thrash in a lifetime. And plenty of birds.
Affixing the pirate flag in the snow near Bergland, Lake Gogebic. Proudly it flew, and a a covert name--Jolly Roger--near Kenneth MI, born.
A contemplative moment on Kate's Mountain. Precise location unknown, unrevealed. Jim and a Lab...who'd a thunk it.

The photo of Jim and Conley on Kate's Mountain is destined to become a Grousers classic. Simply beautiful.

Wish I could have been there (except for the underpants episode)
