Don’t drink the water- Instead try a Michelada

Song Bird Trail | Marquette Michigan

Marquette Michigan is simply a great beautiful place.  If you live in Lower Michigan and you have not ventured across the Mackinaw Bridge into the Great Up North then your messing up as a Michigander.  My advice to you is to Get Up North and Start Heading West.  In my opinion the further west you [...]
