I've never been to the Porkies but I do prefer our Michigan state parks to the national parks. Tahquamenon is my personal favorite.

Sorry, Michigan...had to go with Grayson Highlands in southwest Virginia. Sadly, with musloids flooding into the area; the park’s best days may be behind it...

They’re in the western upper peninsula.

Kind of misleading to call it one of the largest remaining wilderness areas in the miswest. Nearly the entire upper peninsula is wilderness.

The two best ways to ruin ones vacation spot is move there or tell every body about it.
The porkies are nice only a few hours from me.

The 60,000-acre park near Ontonagon on the shores of Lake Superior is one of the few remaining large wilderness areas in the Midwest Yeah, cuz the Boundary Waters in the arrowhead of Minnesota is just a backyard playground ...
Half of Minnesota is state parks, national forests, or wilderness.

Go to google street view and pick any road covered in that part of the country and you’ll see wilderness.

Those are "midwestern mountains." When I was a teeneager, I learned to ski in Pennsylvania. After going skiing 7 or 8 times I could go down the expert hill without much difficulty. The next year I moved out west. My new friends were (real) skiiers. They invited me skiiing after I told them I knew how. About half way up the lift I knew I was in big trouble. I got off the chair and wobbled over to the edge and looked down into ...oblivion. That's when I realized what a mountain really was.

Drove across the UP on Route 2 back in 1965...can’t imagine it has changed much since then...real nice relaxing drive.

The bridge over the cut river gorge on 2 is one of my favorites.

Another god outdoor/semi-wilderness drive is the Blue Ridge Parkway for a little over 400 miles from western North Carolina up to northern Virginia. It ends about 80 miles west of Washington, DC. Makes for a very pleasant, scenic 3 day drive. It’s particularly fun on a motorcycle.

Real wilderness starts after the last road north in Canada.

My family went up there on our vacation back in the late 1950s, and my little brother went running up ahead of us - he very nearly went flying off were not for a man who grabbed him at the last minute. No guard rails back then. Are there now?

I’ve never been further west than Munising.
