The wind and weather cooperated nicely and we were able to drop more than a few anchors around Michigan&#8217;s Upper Peninsula (UP) as we passed a major milestone: we have left the most northern point of our adventure and are now, officially, heading south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"

Drummond Island offered a Jeep Week Festival and multiple off-road trails but was short on bike paths and restaurants.  We learned that summer help was sparse this year so some places never opened and\/or were closing the summer season, before Labor Day, because the students were returning to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
