Cool. I thought about going to Mackinac Island over Memorial weekend, but it's a bit of a haul for a 3 day trip by car.  |

We're going camping in our friend's backyard. They have 20 acres.  |

We're heading that way for a vacation this summer. Never been there, but looking forward to it.

If your lucky, the snow might actually be gone by then. There were still several piles in the woods near Marquette last week.
Of course then the black flies will be out. Gotta love the UP.

I'm heading "home" to the UP next week. People think I am joking when I say I don't know if the mosquito bites or the frost bite will be worse.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Um, we're getting reports that large chunks of northern Wisconsin still have ice and snow. So pack for cooler weather!

yes thur was quite cool in the mid-west (I'm in metro Chicago) and today is much the same. Slightly better over the wekend (60's). However, it is 'forecast' to be mid 70's mid next week and SHOULD improve a bit more by Memorial Day.
Pack to dress in layers as mornings tend to be quite cool and mid-late afternoon warmest. Surely you have some knit tops, sweatshirts/hoodies and/or sweaters. Do NOT plan on wearing sandals much if at all.
