Marquette is an often-overlooked great town.

Well done, Duffy. Mrs. Duffy must have the patience of a saint. Congrats!

Can’t find my seersucker cargo shorts, so my Up North weekend plans are shot to hell.

Jorts are fine Up North. Not acceptable below the Bridge, though.

Bob. SUV‘s are so 2000’s. Crossovers are the hotness. Tighten up your up north game.

Yup. I keep winter change of clothes at the cabin. Fire starter goes with me everywhere. LOL.

I don’t wear jorts. You must be thinking of Turtleneck.

Bob doesn’t do sweatshirts, at least not Up North. He’s all about the cotton crew neck sweaters, preferably Brooks Brothers to match his MSU shirt.

I prefer the cool mornings so that by sack isn’t sticking to my leg before noon.

definitely would dig the weather more.

I think I'd grow tired of fudge, golf and khakis after a while, though.

Fudge really isn’t a thing past Mackinaw City.

I'm not a golfer, but I don't think that's really specific to the UP either. Or khakis. It almost seems like Bob is rather uninformed and simply talking out his ass. But that would be so out of character for him...

Bob - Have you ever done winter biking on a fat tire bike?

by **Floyd Robertson** 2020-06-12, 12:00

I have, yes - I dig it to an extent, but I view cycling as my late spring through early fall alternative to running. I'm a runner at heart and winter running is the height of my enjoyment. I also like to hike a lot in the snow, do some snowshoeing, etc.

I'm guessing you dig it? I enjoyed it when I went with my buddy.. I just prefer other things.
