Water: Mandatory. Pants: Optional.


Left. The final turn onto Manistique River Rd is LEFT.
So the UP has had less rainfall than the last 15 years or something crazy like that and it turns out, as majestic as my cabin is, the people who first built it dug the well and once they hit water they must have said, "Ahhh, thats far enough." So due to a shallow well, we will NOT have running water this year! YAY! This truly will be a "fuck the REAL world weekend". No showers! Don't worry ladies, you won't have to poop in the woods, we can flush with buckets of water from the river. So bring a big fresh water thing with a nozzle so you can wash your face and teeth! Paper plates and PAPER cups are a smart thing, plastic not so smart since we can't burn plastic. Remember we have to cart all of our trash out with us. I am going up Thursday night so you will no be able to reach me around 8 pm Thursday night. So call me before that if you have questions.
Directions
75 North to the bridge
After the bridge look for highway 2 West. Take that for about 65 miles to highway 77. Make a right (North M-77) and take that about 8 miles or so and look for Manistique River Rd. Make a left. It will be cement for about 1/4 mile then it will be dirt. My cabin is around 7.2 miles from that turn, and it will be on the left, right after what seems to be a turnaround spot (a widening). I will put something out for you to see, who knows what that will actually be. Call me with questions and I will see you up there!
