Hi. I'm presently living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and was trying to see if there are any pipe clubs up here?

Depending on where in the UP you are, I know there's a Northeastern Wisconsin one that meets quarterly-ish in Green Bay. Otherwise I'll direct you to the UPCA, who keep a list of their member clubs. Which of course are not all the clubs in the states, just those who care to become UPCA members.
I live around Marquette area but spend some time pretty regularly near the Wisconsin border. So that's probably a bit far but I might find a way to head out there sometime as I have friends somewhat near there. Thanks, I'll have to also look into the UPCA then too to see if they list anything around here.
You say that you spend time regularly near the WI border -- if you're near Marquette then you probably mean that you're coming down 95 towards Iron Mountain?
Ah, Crystal Falls way.
I'm in Niagara, just across the river from Iron Mountain.
@JoeW is in the UP -- I forget exactly where, but in our general neck of the woods, not out east, if I recall.
I know a couple of other pipe smokers at my church in Iron Mountain, but they aren't on the forum. They'd get together with us, though, if we did a meet-up in this area.
As @chilllucky said, we have a NE WI group that meets in Green Bay a few times a year. I was down there with another forum member just the other night. One member comes down from Door County, several from the Wausau direction, etc.
If you ever want to have a pipe together and are going to be around, let me know.

@EveningSmoke03 Nice to meet you! I live south of Marquette, and my son goes to Northern. I don't know of any pipe clubs in the area--or any pipe smokers, for that matter (except for pipe maker Lee Von Erck, who lives in Negaunee). This fall I'd like to try to attend a Green Bay meetup, but that's a bit of a hike from here; it might be more workable to meet up with @SBC in the Iron Mountain area. In any case, once things slow down a bit this fall, maybe we can meet for a pipe sometime!
I'm happy to host at my house in Niagara, at whatever point works for you all.
Although I'll smoke a lighter blend indoors, two or three times a week, and not notice any long-term smell, I'm not sure what would happen if a whole group smoked indoors at once. It may be best to plan something while we can still sit out around the fire pit.
A Sunday late-afternoon would work well for me.
