Sounds like the UP is more your style, then: ours too. I enjoy shooting from my deck while enjoying a pipe or cigar! But the cats don't enjoy it with calibers higher than .22.My son works for the University up in Ann Arbor. Loves it there! Maybe a tad bit too populated for me. I like being able to drive 5 minutes and be in open country where I can shoot and/or smoke a pipe and watch the sunset. Great great place to visit though.
