Hey from central North Carolina. I grew up near Chicago, and my grandparents owned a little sandy soil farm northeast of Muskegon near a tiny town called Holton. They spend summers there raising their family, no power or running water, just an outdoor pump. I camped there once, and the "crick" was about the coldest bath I'd ever had. Welcome aboard.

I don't know if you're on the Upper Peninsula, but I have visited there. I heard a joke about some natives who went to the shore for the afternoon, set up their blankets and gear, and were enjoying themselves, when another group arrived and set up about a quarter mile away. The first group looked at each other restlessly and someone said, "Let's leave. It's getting crowded." It's beautiful country and the population is sparse.

Welcome from another old/new pipe smoker. I smoked pipes for about 30 years and then quit for 20 years. Now Capstan blue is available again in the US and I am enjoying it.
