Anyone know it, live there or near there?
Looks like I may have to go there next week for a job.

It is about 140 miles from here, near 3 hours.
When will you be there? What is the job? How much free time will you have to travel - as I'd be interested in meeting halfway.

Once the job starts it looks to be a 6 (days a week) 10s (hours a day) schedule. Steam turbine at a paper mill. That would be cool to meet up for a smoke or two.

Is that a big city? I don't like big cities.

Weekends are tough for me, and that one especially.
Let me know what your plans are, there is a great place in Green Bay, Titletown Cigar. It has a decent humidor and place to lounge and smoke. I am thinking that's about 2.5 hours from Escanaba too. Escanaba is in the middle of nowhere, but it is beautiful.

It's a cool old historic area.
Diesel Kinevil and I rode up there from Iron Mountain for something to do.We were picking up a truck something,I don't recall now. Point is,it was winter and the lake was frozen over.There were fishing shacks as far as you could see out on the ice. ![]() |

Yes, it does. Usually, it doesn't happen though till the end of October.
![]() So, given that information, you should be good.

JKH - I was just in Petosky for 10 days (well, a lake NEAR Petosky) and they have a nice shop there. Since you are in the UP, if you like cASINO'S (THERE ARE A ton IN mi) Kewadin is decent, and they usually have a great all you can eat crab leg buffet on Sat's (they used to) That is in Sault Ste Marie. Bay Mills is a little closer to you and still up that way. I would check them both out - as they both allow smoking indoors. (I spent a LOT of time in SSM
![]() Good luck - The UP is really cool and scenic, especially when the colors start changing. BTW, if they call for "flurries (snow), flurries usually equals 6 inches or more. ![]()

![]() The UP is great. We've gotten "flurries" that nearly snowed us in on our snowmobile trips. Don't forget to try a Pasty.

Escanaba? It's not the end of the Earth, but you can see it from there.
Oh, and be sure to watch the movie "Escanaba in da Moonlight." Or at least the first 30 minutes. Very funny stuff. If you're a Yooper who's never shot a buck, well..., you just ain't a Yooper.

Just found this on the internet about Escanaba. It's in the banana belt, so you'll be fine. ;D
