I'm originally from Canada and apparently I don't know how to spell Yooper! Oops. That'd be like someone calling me a Canook instead of a Canuck or a hoosier instead of a hoser.

The only bridges I can think of in the UP are Mackinac (we go to St. Ignace for a week every summer) and Sault Ste Marie. I'll have to heed the warning about the trolls!

A guy I used to work with is from the U.P. and he told me that at summer parties they would put a thick tarp in their pickup truck bed and fill the bed with water and eventually end up "swimming" in it. He said they called it a Yooper Pool. Not sure if he was serious or just pulling my leg. I think we figured it'd be about 3,000 pounds of water.
