    Great video.  Very factual and no sugar coating. Life here is wonderful if you’re not afraid to plan ahead and work a little.

    My wife and I retired to # 12, Curtis Michigan, 4 years ago and built a house on the big lake. We absolutely love it.

    Born in Michigan but live in Georgia. I’ve been to most of these areas in the UP. Thanks for the memories.
