Thanks, this is fascinating especially the Crane Cam. A few years ago
a few of the cranes stopped for a few days at a wild life refuge here
in SC and I was lucky enough to see them. They were so burdened down
with transmitters and aerials etc. that it seemed a wonder they could
actually take off!

I can't think of a better place to find yoopers. Did you have any
pasties while you were there?

Pasties, pasties everywhere, except on Mackinac Island where they only sold fudge.
I'm not going to say I don't like pasties, but the last one I had was 40 years
ago and it wasn't bad ... but I don't have a craving for them.

Never heard of pasties. Had to look it up. They look like my kind of
food. I may have to trek to the U.P. to get one
The diverse things one can learn on R.B.

Be sure you pronounce it right so they won't think you're a UP newbie -
- it somewhat inauspiciously rhymes with nasty, not hasty. The pasty
that rhymes with hasty is something completely different.
I have a couple every summer when I'm in NE Wisconsin on vacation. Get
plenty of gravy; they can be kind of dry without it.

Plenty of the places will ship, long distance take-out ;-)
Another good place to visit or get some long distance
take-out:

I always try to stop for some bake goods. I don't think my
old truck can go by without turning in...

Way back in the 70s I went with a group of guys to watch snowmobile
races in Ironwood, MI. That was the first time I was exposed to
pasties. Never thought about them again until our recent trip to
Northern Michigan where almost every roadside restaurant or bar
had a sign outside advertising pasties and fudge. Pasties are
probably a favorite food of the folks who settled there, but
I've never seen them anywhere else in other places I've visited
in the USA. Yes, you might have to go to Michigan to find them.
Actually, they might be good!

Ray, you're my man! Such a subtle and precise instructional on the proper
pronunciation of "pasties." "Something completely different" indeed.

I think they originated as a Cornish miner's food. Taken out of the oven
in the morning, they were still warm for lunch down in the shaft. I
first came across them in Nova Scotia.

Thank you.
When I were a lad my siblings and I drove through the UP and into
Canada. Along the way we stopped at one of the many places advertising
pasties, to find out what they were. Before we even finished asking,
the owner said, "You want to know what a pasty is." That's how I
learned the correct pronunciation.
