[Magdalen] Time is -- uh ....

[Lynn Ronkainen]

The UP/upper peninsula is the 'other' part of Michigan that is located 
between the Lakes Superior, Michigan and the top of Huron and between the 
state of Wisconsin to the west and  Canada to the east.

Isle Royal, almost to the Canadian Shore, in Lake Superior, is also part of 
Michigan. It is reachable by plane, ferry and private boat and is a State 
Park (famous for its study of wolves and moose). It is used for camping and 
most people 'pack' in and hike various trails across or around the island 
after they have been delivered by ferry or plane.  There are a few cabins 
'for rent' at the main boat landing point which require reservations which 
are sometimes doled out via a lottery system.

Mackinac Island is also part of Michigan and located in the northern part of 
Lake Huron. It has no cars (with the exception of an EMC - emergency 
vehicle) and although open year round sees most of it's tourist traffic in 
summer and fall. People ride bikes there, and there are horse and buggy 
'taxis'. There is a State Park there also in the footprint of a Fort from 
the American Revolution and the French and Indian wars (IIRC).

Most of the UP is on Central time, but the counties that are closest to 
Wisconsin are not.
