Never thought I would want to go east for natural beauty because the West is so full of it, but Michigan seems hard to beat!
MICHIGAN IS MY HOME STATE.. SPENT MANY TRIPS IN UP, USED TO LIVE IN UP, BORN DOWN BELOW.
michigan is a beautiful state, and thank you for mentioning canada across the lake. im from ontario, i have travelled in michegan and others beautiful states, and blessed to have done soo. thank you for sharing your wonderful vidoes
Enjoyed your videos of the UP of Michigan, brought back many memories as I grew up in mid Michigan. Our family vacationed numerous times in the UP. I've call it God's Country. I moved out of Michigan years ago. As my son was growing up we took many vacations in upper Michigan. We made lots of Happy memories there. In fact being our 'Happy Place'' , My son drove 5 hours to the Straits to propose to his girlfriend at he park next to the bridge. Watching your videos , makes me miss my Happy Place. I need to return for a visit soon. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Love them all
thank you
My friend and I are heading up there beginning of September 😊 I like tripping with you 😅 Thanks👍 Your laugh always makes me smile. Keep on Truckin🤗
Beautiful place! I think I want to go there. Thanks for the ride!
I went up in one of the lighthouses that was at the point where the Edmunds Fitzgerald sank 17 mile off shore. We went up in the top of the lighthouse and you could see forever up there. We also went thru the museum and light house keepers house. Really neat. I actually just got back from Mackinaw city MI. I met you Russ at the Wapakoneta KOA. Enjoy watching your videos.
Russ, you have really nailed it this summer!!! Tossing $17 in my bucket for a Michigan trip.$17? Really? What a bargain!!
Maps and Arial views > Nice > Thanks for adding them to your videos! 🗺🌎🗺 > They make a huge difference!
This is a winter wonderland up here for snowmobiles and skiing. Also Sault St. Marie is where a lot work on the locks. Others are teachers in the area. Very good schools. Last year there were as high as 20ft waves. Really something to see.
We were just there 3 weeks ago. You passed the lighthouse saving station before you got to the lighthouse itself. Great video!
That highway 26 was absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the experience.
⛵⛵⛵ Wow, I enjoyed this vid soooo much. I was so excited to see the lighthouse. Your narration is just awesome ! Perfect ! Thank you so much 🌼🌅🌼🌅🌼
Horace Greeley "Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country."
And Russ says, "I gotta go west for awhile."
Most of those Lighthouses were for sale a number of years back to anyone that would promise to restore them to their natural existence!!
This is an area of Michigan that I have yet to visit but it's on my list. It's nice to experience the next best thing with Russ!
Another great drive, thanks Dave’s RV life is up that way at the moment.
I lived by Lake Superior through the '70s but now I'm back on the west coast (Can.).....I have to keep reminding myself that there's no real tide (maybe 1 foot) on "Kitchigami" as I watch your shoreline shots....You wouldn't want to visit mid winter, for sure......
Hi Russ. Our daughter did a summer engineering program at Michigan Tech in Houghton back in ‘95. We have never been there. Thanks for the tour of the area and safe travels!
Very scenic , we took the ferry to Madilyn island one time from Bayfield .
Never any fires here either Russ!! It is so beautiful & the grounds are always moist for the protection of the forest life!!!
Up there in Eagle River, I must say that was the first time I heard of a STEEL bridge being replaced by a WOODEN span. Interesting. Thanks for taking the road less traveled, Russ, very scenic and relaxing.
I was up there years ago and seen the lighthouse. There is a lot of beautiful scenery up there.
Russ, your videos are one of my days highlights. KEEP GOING.

New subscriber.... because of this.
Thanks for the video Russ!! Safe travels to you sir 👍
OMG Russ, what an epic journey, really, really enjoyed this, thank you from Key West, Florida......
O Wow!!!! I love that waterfall...So pretty and I love listening to it.....
HOPE YOU GO TO KEWEENAW AND CALUMET WHEN YOU GO BACK, MY GRANDPA HAD A "CAMP" IN "AMASA" SOUTH OF CRYSTAL FALLS HE LIVED IN THE LOWER PENINSULA AND DID LOGGING , LOTS OF SHIPPING UP THERE, LOGGING, THE MINES IRON AND COPPER ARE PRETTY MUCH CLOSED DOWN NOW... I LIVE IN WEST VIRGINA NOW, BUT WILL NEVER STOP LOVING U.P.
Glad to see all the restoration work going on for the lighthouses, especially since MI winters on the lakes can be pretty brutal.
Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the beautiful Michigan tour!! Cheers
The 1st story board told of Douglas Houghton, the First State Geologist, drowned just off shore @ 37. The 2nd told how well educated he was for that Era. A wonderful man with a sad short life. The difference he made in a short time.
Looks like you had a nice cool morning. Beautiful aerial footage of Eagle Harbor. Loved the inviting look of the Harbor with a picnic table & grill. Eagle River was a beautiful area too! That was a awesome home in behind those trees. Seeing the propane tank, I'd say they may be year round. Just love the drone footages.
There was an old dorm on the MTU campus named after him which has been gone for many years.
Hey Russ, great video. Can't believe you drive right by Brockway Mt Scenic Dr between Copper Harbor and Eagle Harbor. For sure you have to return to the Keweenaw.
Hey Russ!!! "ANOTHER" Lighthouse!!! WOW!!! Be Safe!!!
That’s a beautiful area!
I really appreciate you showing locations on the map. I was always the map reader and still love them.
Another beautiful location. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful. Tough to get my 43 ft diesel motorhome up in those roads
Greetings from California Russ! We have been looking at real estate in the Petosky area, hubby is from there, haven't quite found our dream home yet. But Im super glad you did these travel vid's of Michigan, gave us birds view of all the other small towns in the US. Thanks Russ for your generosity.
Good choice with Petoskey. I live in Wisconsin, but love the U.P as well as Petoskey and Traverse City area. .
I was just up there at the Skoolie U.P. meet up. Back home in Wisconsin now. Enjoy the weather. Suppose to get back into the 90s and humid...lol
Wonderful video, Thanks Russ! Love love all your Amazing travels. Beautiful place enjoy Russ!!
Beautiful 😍
Enjoyed the tour💯😘💯😘
The drone shots are just fantastic.
There is a lot of waterfalls in northern part of Michigan
Thank you
So pretty! I had no idea and just added it to my must see list! Glad the journey continues. Thank You!
thanks for the upload!
You have the Jam Pot in footage but you drive right by as you seek out Eagle River. There’s some fine jams and baked goods you missed out on, for future reference. The Jam Pot can be found in an online search. Great content on one of my favorite day trips. Thank you.
Wow, I was just up their last week.👍
Beautiful Russ!
Good and nice places surrounded by lakes and green trees sir and the journey continues see you soon sir❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👍👍👍
They've got a lot of roadside picnic areas but they sure don't get used like they did back in the 60s, when I was growing up in MI. You'd pack the whole family in the station wagon, a picnic lunch and some sports equipment and spend the day at these places. Most times, there would be other families there, and sometimes, Mom and Dad would have to travel down to the NEXT picnic area, they were that crowded! Thankfully they were only a few miles apart, especially on the lakefronts!
I’ve long been interested in driving around the U.P. Gorgeous
That's a beautiful state
Nice job Russ!
Another great video.
At 17:14 Russ you drove right by the Jampott. The Jampot is staffed by the Brothers of PoorRock Abby. Eco friendly foods and great coffee. There is a monastery across the street and the Brothers make a living off of the place. You missed it……. They do mail order… For the jams and coffee.
Russ, if you smoked we'd be perfect traveling companions. I just love the way you explore the U.S.! :)
I loved it when you did the Oregon coast!
Hey Russ. Another great episode in this summers drive, beautiful scenery and well captured on video. Have followed you for months now and enjoyed all of it. Take care and keep on truckin ;-) Watching from the Isle of Wight (UK).
Enjoyed it
My place for the last 40 years! God's country!
It's awesome all the places you can get into with the van. Vs, a class A or even a C. And still have a comfortable place to crash :-)
We were up there in the Yupper years ago, unhappily at the wrong time of year when the sand flies and no-see-ums were swarming. So when you go back avoid that period. In June I believe.
And you didn't show a snow tree, I recall several of those trees like you are driving by with signs way up on the trunk, 20 feet or more with comments like: snow level winter of 19XX. I guess they snow shoed out and nailed a sign up or I guess down at their feet..
We have wanted to return but the last couple of years those states have been especially slammed by Wuflu restrictions. Thought we might do it this year in September but my wife won a week at a cg outside Yosemite and that took care of that plan...heh.
The US 41 travel is cool, it runs right thru our town in Florida and all the way south thru Miami. It's called the TaMiami Trail down there, Tampa to Miami. It was the main drag pre-Interstates and runs straight across the Everglades. It was infamous for people running off the road and into the very deep canal next to it where they might not be found for decades.
👍👍 Beauuutiful. Now all I need is a van.
Trees 🌲 🌳 go on forever...so do the 🐜 bugs!
I keep thinking the place is so uncrowded...Then I remember you film mostly at the "Crack of Dawn"...How's the crowds the rest of the day? Now I want to visit Michigan!
Living in Northern California I can't relate to all that ice and snow...So green, even the grass.
I tell ya' Russ you should have come & picked me up love!! ;) You had to pass by my home on your way up there!! :P
Wish you could stay for a few more days, but Sturgis is calling.
The Edmund Fitzgerald is at the bottom of Superior somewhere around whitefish bay.
On the Canada side.
The Fitz lies in 535 ft of water just NW of Whitefish Bay. So close & yet so far from safety.
Hey, just saw the jam pot bakery on the left as you approached Eagle River. We stopped there in 1992 and bought jam and bread from Jesuit Monks. Cool to see it again.
It's a lot of fun traveling with you using the Google maps. Believe it or not I could place that little 3d guy right on that platform you were on near the light house.
Eagle harbor is a good place to swim.
We Love RVerTV - Grand Journey Thru United States America - Grand Videos - Grand Music. Thank you Russ. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans. Canadians Need RVerTV Eh.
How's the mosquitoes??
Love your trip and your van
REMEMBER THE EDMOND FITZGERALD ✌💜🎼🎵🎶
At :30 sec mark of the video if had taken that fork to the left is the Brockway Mountain drive which is the highest elevated highway between the Rockies and Appalachian Mountains just 10 mile long bypass that would have brought you back to M 26 just before Eagle Harbor. The views are second to none on top of Brockway looking over the big lake at more than 700’ above the lake.
Great video nice now cold and nasty in winter. Be safe. 😅😅😅
Eagle Harbor's Lighthouse is one of the only remaining working lighthouses left
My husband had a job interview in 1998
Those stairs would never do in California…. The lawsuits over idiots tripping and falling would be endless….
👍👍😊
That's awesome Russ. I've not been there but being in West Virginia, in my mind I thought it would be mountainous like here. But it's not, it's much flatter than I expected. Gently rolling hills and better roads, lol. 😊👍👍
Randy, by any chance did you sing Christian Rock at Pastor Buzz's Church in Uniontown, Pa? (I was visiting with family 11/2016-1/2017) I would like to know how to buy your CD's if available?
@@kimberlyshalaby1134, no Kimberly, it wasn't me. I visited some of my aunts relatives with them one Winter in Michigan. But I was a young boy and remember the deep snow and countless snowmobiles on lakes we passed along the way.
👍❤️
A lot of the town's up there it just a wide spot in the road
Keep your eyes open you might see a bear by those roadside parks
Awesome ! Say "eh " to the yoop, till next time
Makes ya want to leave Quartzsite for good huh? Spent last winter in LTVA.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
7:33 what do ya do for for work around here? Biggest employer in the county is the county DPW, the guys who drive the snowplows.
Keystone Cops on the silver screen must have been community event way back when the bridge at Eagle River was built.
Seems like you have the Keweenaw Peninsula all to yourself, Russ. Probably the Flu Hysteria that is the reason for it. I'm sure normally it would be tourists all over the place. What a beautiful and peaceful area to live in. Would love that!
I think the Indians called it Gitche Gumee.
My family has a place right on the park. And no most of the houses are owned by locals. Eagle harbor residents are very prideful of their town being local.
Where's all the crowds ?
You are seeing them.
Those turnout's look like a good place to camp
We live 90 miles below the bridge so are considered trolls and fudgies by the yoopers when we go to the other side. Now camping for the month of August in the UP. Love it up here except during the swarming mosquitoes and biting black flies months. Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota are also beautiful.
So tell me when the "biting bug time of year" is so I don't come then.
@@sueanna_banana we have found late spring, early summer the worst. Haven’t encountered any biting flies they hurt) this August and just a few mosquitoes so far. Read mid July on is the best time though also read that yoopers consider mosquitoes here all the time.
Can't forget the snow sharks, you see many Fins. ( Old joke)
I wonder how many have died from the cold. I live in So. Illinois plenty cold..lol
Ever wonder where the crowds of swimmers and beachgoers are?
Lake Gitchee - Gumee is to cold for any water sport's. Have to go to local small lake's.
@@punkotter1867 Ayup!
You didn't go to Brockway Mountain Drive. You were right there. You did not do your research.
quit telling everybody
