Bud Lemire: A lot of great places I haven't even seen. You both are awesome and to see the magic you guys show as you traveled the UP was great. I'm here in Escanaba and was glad you stopped by here as well. Great video, thanks for the tour.
Urban Homesteading: +Bud Lemire That's very kind of you to say, thank you for watching. I wish we had more time to spend in Escanaba, and it would be amazing to have a sailboat there!
Tallie Allen: Amazing footage!

Lexie thomas: Was it cold when u went swimming
Urban Homesteading: +Lexie thomas It wasn't horrible for Lake Superior…but it took some getting used to. Once you are in, it was warmer than the air temp!
Kurtis Newhouse: Awesome video! Where was the spot you camped in Marquette?
Urban Homesteading: This was on the way out to Dead River Falls, just a little hideaway :)
Kyle Karwowski: I am glad you guys had such a good time up here. It seems like you both appreciate the slower pace and natural beauty. I moved up to Marquette from the Detroit area 6 years ago. The single best decision I have ever made in my life.
Urban Homesteading: +Kyle Karwowski my family had a house in Marquette for a while so I've spent a lot of time up there and try to go back once a year atleast. That must be a big change from Detroit! Thanks for watching
bb_bassin: Presque Isle Park is actually in Marquette, but awesome video. I love the UP!
Urban Homesteading: +bb_bassin aww crap! I knew that and I got it wrong �� thanks for pointing it out and thanks for watching !
Thorir the Hound: I grew up in Munising :)
Mike Sanders: Thanks
Mike Sanders: What kind of camera did you use? Great shots.
Urban Homesteading: Thanks Mike, I used a GoPro Hero 4 Black edition which is their biggest and baddest model they have. Most of the video was shot in 4K which is very high definition. It's incredible the detail it captures from such a small camera. Thanks for watching!
That Modern Mombie: Thanks for the adventure! 🙂 That looks so amazing! 🙂 \n\nNew sub, come sub back!
QuantityEngineers: My wife and I vacationed in Whitefish and Paradise in 1974. We stayed at a resort that had rented cabins on the Tahquamenon river.
