Hi All - Uncle Spike, actually my uncle, seen in this video. I only met him once with my mom when she took me to visit at 5 yrs old. Well, I'm in my sixties now and still remember his clear sky blue eyes and those bears, and the beautiful place where he lived. So many bears that I couldn't even count them. The closest to being a hermit. What a guy, my uncle Spike.

Old good America eh? lolIf youre a tourist whats the best place to go in Michigan?

Having lived my whole life in Michigan, I've always felt that the best of Michigan is north of Clare. Clare is known as "The Gateway to the North", and "Up North" is where we all go in the summer.That's not to say that there aren't some nice places to the south, but the beauty is in the north. The south is mostly cities and flat farmland. I currently live in the middle of the flat farmland, and while I enjoy it, I'd rather be "up north". :)

Not really...I'm good looking. I know how to spell too! Excuse me, I have to go tidy up some trash that blew in from across the lake. Must be from all those supermodel type people who live on the other side of that bridge. Dang. It's stuck in my pine trees...

so you're saying once you go from st ignis to mackinaw city you go imediately from pine forests to debrees. the only part of michigan that is bad is innercity detroit, flint, saginaw, and the south part of lansing. the up is beautiful the people up there are ugly

My degree is in accounting and finance and I make over $100k a year which I would never make in the UP. I love Michigan and think it's the most beautiful state in the country but the UP is not the God's country the small-minded, illiterate isolationists think it is.

I am guessing that your college degree is not in English comp. or sociology!
