[@mikejohn0088]

The absolute wakeup call I ever received! Left 50 yrs. ago and you told me why. Thanks Benny!

[@robertnilla]

gotta love them yoopers! Can't beat the upper peninsula. snow, cold and all!!

[@trich4life]

I miss the UP so much. Thank you for the nostalgia

[@karenrussell3326]

The UP is beautiful. Slow down a little so we can really enjoy the scenery 😊

[@drivingmsali]

We lived in Lake Linden for 3 years while stationed there in the Coast Guard. Loved it!

Hardly recognize it anymore as for the weather one morning after a week of subzero weather walked out of the apartment dressed for the weather and in the first block realized I was too warm, it had warmed up to 10 degrees.

[@timlamb6196]

wtf this town is so beautiful and quaint. The places post cards are made of.

[@Bazilli]

Nice music selection

[@clintonagyei1929]

Thanks for the video 😍

[@bennymathew8779]

welcome

[@CodeGrayHere]

Thanks for the visit to a cool little town! I live in the desert, and just watching you drive down those snowy roads at normal speeds is giving me big anxiety!

Really a Jaunt from Hancock thru Houghton to Chassell and back and a final look on College Ave. just before entering the east end of downtown before it becomes Shelden Ave.. Lived there for 14 years and enjoyed all the seasons up there. Lived on Bridge St. and it was interesting watching the cars sliding up and down the hill.

Looks like skid row house is still going strong!

[@judithsharrar8706]

I’ve never passed through Houghton at this speed. Feels like we are going 90 miles an hour. It’s enough to make one dizzy.

[@AuthenticChronicVision]

My grandmother lived in toivola, a town some 30 miles to the west. Winter is nothing like it was back then.My mom said she watched the 1947 4th of July parade during a snow storm.

[@pcmikeoftheup]

Lived in Oskar. I remember many a snowy drive through the H's.

[@saltminezombies2390]

i love the snow

[@mikejohn0088]

Try

[@anastasiae.5338]

I've wanted to move there for a while because my family was basically from there, but then I see videos of cars sliding around and it makes me think twice about it. I do love the way it looks though. I've been visiting several times for the last 30 or 40 years, and it never changes. Which is one of the reasons I think about moving. I don't want to move to someplace that looks like that, and then have it turn into Flagstaff or Tempe. Both of which were cute towns and unique and both turned into basically Phoenix. Phoenix also turned into Phoenix since the time I've lived here. We had dirt roads in places when I first moved there. It's now way too many people and shopping plazas everywhere. I don't care about progress, I don't like it.

[@IgnoretheButter]

its not that bad. Just don't drive the speed limit on bad days and watch out for black ice.

[@steveib724]

Nice but you seem to be flying pretty good there lol

[@johncronin5311]

Michigan in its splender

[@kenlodge3399]

You know I used to live up there, near Houghton and I liked it. I liked it and I liked the people, I liked just about everything there was to like about being up there. Can say I been many places and lived in lots of them and wanted to stay, just like I did when I lived in the U.P., but can say I know what it's like when had to move, even tho I wanted to stay. Yeah cuz we got priorities and other opportunities and relationships and because we got all that we can't always stay. Boy am looking at all that snow and recall how much I liked it and would like to at least maybe go visit it. It was one of the nicer places I been. BUT, But, but I am old now and got those priorities and other opportunities, so maybe I'll just have to settle for a video on KZbin. You know what I mean.

[@russellmitchell7376]

Welcome to the UP. Then go home !!

[@johnschiska8195]

In 78 that area got 30 ft of snow I don't recall them crieing and begging for gov. Money and relief like the east coast does when they get 3 feet of snow from a storm up there they call 3 feet of snow touseday. Kids stay home and are back to school wedsday.

[@erbewayne6868]

Looks like winter carnival is over. Not much snow this year?

[@bennykmst]

[@getoutsidenow420]

You passed Doug Wybles house lol good vid and music

[@davidpallin772]

The beginning of this clip is in close by neighboring Hancock.

[@WWeronko]

There is no shortage of snow man making material.

[@ralphross2357]

As long as you can get to L'anse for cinnamon rolls.

[@robbkardas3641]

You pass a cop in a 25 mph speed zone?

[@MichaelMichaelidesGA]

Paradise on earth.

[@seanlee7276]

There is literally a town called Paradise in the U.P. Also there's a town called Hell in the lower peninsula. So one can go from Hell to Paradise or visa versa here in Michigan. 😂

[@sthompson4049]

Depressing. Looks like a upscale suburb of central Siberia.

[@Supercharged111]

What's depressing is a place that gets cold and no snow. What's the point?

[@davidpallin772]

@@Supercharged111 Perhaps you might get help for melancholy and depression.

[@halbarbour7340]

You've obviously never been there...

[@jazzpup8288]

Stay in Texas 😂
