Been to Duluth several times. Bought my bike from a guy up there 3 years ago.

Is Kansas located in the Midwest or the Great Plains? A warm 22 degrees here. There is your lame sauce @Headlesshula.

You have made alternative plans to escape a situation like what happened @ O'Hare TG weekend I hope. :eek:
The weather news around here is only accurate for yesterday and they get confused about that.

I’m heading to Houston next Wednesday to thaw out for a couple of days. If I hit the water this weekend it will be in my sea ark 15 footer with my 20 hp Mercury 4 stroke looking for Daffy Duck.

I'll be damned....We had a couples group that went smelt dipping up that way. We lived in Waterford Twp and Pontiac. Never put the port Austin part to your screen name.:D

I was born in Mt Pleasant and raised in Clare county. Went to school in Gladwin and a year and a half at Central. Then I got the hell out and moved to TX where the old man's family started out. Had a short stint in FL and a few years in Atlanta at the turn of the century, but the bulk of my years has me lounging in the mild TX climate. MI is for summer visits.:p

Further Northwest, its up a little north of Hibbing in the G Washington Forest

I remember seeing signs on the Highway for it, but Google turns up a location west of Cloqet. That didn't seem right...

Checking in from Okauchee Lake. Took this picture from a bar deck Sunday while the Packers were self-destructing. Two guys were hitting bars on the lake by water, starting at noon, and going well past sundown. Notice the gulls standing on the ice across the bay.
