Marquette is fantastic. Tons of great trails. Ishpeming is coming along. Copper harbor is good, but not as good as the hype. It's 140 miles from Marquette to the Copper Harbor area.

It is even farther away from anywhere and surrounded by multiple layers of flyover country, not to mention reeking of wisconsin and central canada.
what are we comparing? Anything under 250 miles one way is a day trip.
Let's be real, the Vermont area that Sandwich originally posted the house he found in is probably centralized to far more riding. But the house I posted had more bedrooms.....and comes with a farm, and bacon cooking surfaces, that has to count for something.
That's part of the beauty of copper harbor. Wife and I made a trip up there this summer (Ironically when we decided against going to ride Kingdom Trails and went and rode the trails in Copper Harbor and Marquette instead). You can't beat driving to the end of the road, setting up camp at 10:30PM in the sunlight and not having a soul around. The lack of cell service is a bonus too.It is even farther away from anywhere and surrounded by multiple layers of flyover country, not to mention reeking of wisconsin and central canada.
nothing says i'm an ultimate douche like having the name of your house spelled out in the roofing. and it's only $212k a month for the mortgage.
details, details ...
The thing is this IS ice covered 6+ months a year. I've ridden a snowmobile across Copper Harbor a half mile off shore many Winters. When it's not covered in ice, the wind surfing is supposed to be remarkable, and as others said the biking is good and plentiful off of the peninsula , as long as you know how to deal with bears and flies, which can be worse than bears.
I have trails like that less than 45 minutes away. The problem is that they are the kind of trail where when shit goes sideways, it can go very very sideways. So it isn't the best idea to go riding alone with no cell service in a place where it could be days before a passer-by found your bloody carcass.
I played Hockey in Marquette. It was the coldest I have ever been. The fishing was off the hook.
You're kind of clever?
Additionally, my mother always told me I was a very handsome boy.
And you believed her? Did you keep all your participation awards also?
I have a propensity for digits. However I don't keep them so local. I don't visit them either. That's just weird...
Can we rebury the dead fat lawyer on the property as a fitting tribute?
Don't you get enough exercise driving the short bus ?
Level 2 contributors may bury their dead in designated burial areas. Level 3 may offer additional considerations. Crack babies are not allowed to maintain our organic certification in the gardens....
