I'm proud to say that our boat's been in Yooper territory!?
(Remember that tune by the Yoopers called 30 Point Buck?? Was it a hit in the Detroit area?? It was a big hit in Wisconsin a few years ago and you still hear it on the radio during deer season.? It's a song by some drunken deer hunters from Escanaba who are on the lookout for the world's largest buck - you know, the one that got away.? Actually, it's kind of a funny song with lots of regional humor.? But it might just be a Wisconsin thing.? Even though we're the drunken idiots who wear cheeseheads and blaze orange hunting gear to Packers games, the song is about the U.P!? ).? ?
Anyhow, we pull our boat over the border into Ironwood, Michigan in search of cheaper gas since the gas taxes are so high in Wisconsin.? Since downtown Ironwood is about two blocks away from downtown Hurley, Wisconsin, it's worth a quick detour to see if we can save a few bucks at the pump in Michigan.?
FYI, for those of you on the coasts, a Yooper is someone from the U.P. - Upper Peninsula of Michigan.? Daydreaming about deer is a big pastime up there.? Speaking of the Midwest, I'm kind of surprised that nobody else from the Milwaukee/Chicago area posts anything on this site.? It's such a huge area, I'd think some other Epic owners would have discovered this site by now.? I've seen several Epics in the Milwaukee area... let's hear from you!
