Good. We need an impartial opinion on the best UP pasty shop...Au Train Grocery or Toni's Country Kitchen in Laurium.

Looks like we'll drive by both. Will report out.

Between you, Floyd, and AvgJoe looks like a few swillers in the Keweenaw this summer. Looking forward to your collective experiences/thoughts.

Is the sign still up in Clare? If so then that’s where up north begins.

Coleman Road.

scanned this thread and I posted this almost 9 years ago:

Checked Expedia and there's a bunch of places in Houghton/Hancock under $200. Only 10/12 miles from Calumet.

Pantry is a Bzzz agent for the UP of the UP. He also gets a cut of whatever you spend.

I wish, especially on pasty sales. You can't leave Toni's without at least a dozen to take home. Also, hit Vollwerth's in Hancock for great summer sausage, natural casing hot dogs, etc to take home.

There are some nice channel/canal views in H/H...way better than the place in Calumet. Might even catch an Isle Royale seaplane taking off or landing.

You better bring some Au Train Grocery pasty home to freeze and ship, or I'll have one of the bears turn your 14's into size 6 and you'll be driving next winter with stump mittens.

Procured. PM me your address and I’ll get them out next week.

Thaw first.

I was up in Genesee county today, left the around 3:30 heading home on SB I-75. I can tell you that's the worst NB traffic I've ever seen since they widened it from 2 lanes 35 years ago. It's going to be taking people a LOT longer to get up north tonight.

At the Frakenmuth exit Hardee’s. Am I up north? Feels like up north.

Cooking directions from ATG or your own experience with frozen ATG?

I'm gonna trust you with personal info...only because you're a yooper alien from the bottom of Lake Superior. Will paypal the pasty and shipping expense.
