The U.P.'s best vlogger & tourism advocate! Every time I watch your videos, I feel the need to gas up the truck and drive north.

[@feliciafullwood]

Wow, that is the greatest compliment I could ever receive! That is exactly my goal, and to hear that just made my day! Thank you so much for watching and for the support. I hope you make it north soon! :)

[@Chris-hu9cw]

Somebody give this girl a tv show! I'm thinking PBS after Under the Radar Michigan would be perfect.

[@feliciafullwood]

haha oh my gosh chris, thank you so much for the kind words! That means the world! Really appreciate you watching! :)

[@brianandheatheroutdoors]

Can’t get over the van light sound effect 😂😂😂 Love watching you experience these places through your eyes.

[@feliciafullwood]

Omg hahaha I literally spent an hour searching to find the right sound effect it still wasn’t exactly what I was looking for but it worked well enough 😂😂😂

[@Mr.Martini549]

I haven’t visited this area of the UP in 20 years. This video brought back great memories. Thanks.

[@feliciafullwood]

You are so welcome! So glad to hear that. Thanks for watching! :)

[@superiorbound]

What a great appetizer to our own Grand Marais vacation. Thoroughly enjoy your video adventures. Kudos for building such a creative life.

[@feliciafullwood]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Hope you guys have an amazing time in Grand Marais! We will be heading back that way soon too!

[@KyronCunninglinguist]

Started to watch you ~3yrs ago from your "how to find free camping" vid.👌🏼💯 That one spot is now my #1☝️car campin spot when i go up to SBDNL 😴🐻🏖️area and i am forever grateful. Heading up in the 3rd week this Aug. Thanks for comin back to YT. Hope your car troubles don't turn out to be too expensive. Would also LOVE to see another video about more tips & tricks to find more car camping spots up in that area

[@feliciafullwood]

That is awesome! Hope you have a great time. I'm hoping to make an updated version of the video on how to find free camping, so hopefully I can make that happen soon! Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@Jax4umalta]

The locks are one of my favorite places to visit. awesome video. Miss you guys.

[@feliciafullwood]

Ah, yes!! This was taken last year right after we left your place!

[@Cowgirl77Hikes]

Oh man, I miss it there!

[@lauras.8088]

I have never been to the UP even though I have lived in MI most of my life. I am going Memorial Day week and get to check out Tahquemenon Falls. Can't wait!

[@feliciafullwood]

That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy your trip! Thanks for watching :)

[@airstreamer]

@lauras.8088 Tahquamenon Falls are great! We’ve been there a few times and will the State Park campground hosts this August. You’ll have a great time there.

[@airstreamer]

We love the UP! Friends of ours are one of the camp hosts at Straits State Park. We really enjoyed watching you experience the area. BTW, if you go back to the UP this year, we will be the campground hosts At Tahquamenon Falls lower this August. That bridge is new since we’ve been there. We will need to check it out! - Jim

[@feliciafullwood]

Oh no way that’s awesome! Thanks so much for the kind world! I will definitely have to stop in if we’re in the area in August! :)

[@annafullwood4715]

This looks like fun ! 🌊🏖❤

[@feliciafullwood]

Always a great time, can't wait to go back!

[@robertjohnston2191]

Thank You for the episode. Fun to see places all over this region. 😃 Enjoyed watching. Good job!

[@feliciafullwood]

You are very welcome! Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@RobZ1967]

Heading to the UP in a couple weeks!!!!

[@feliciafullwood]

Such a perfect time of year for it, enjoy! Thanks for watching :)

[@NorthologyAdventures]

Fun little rip. Thanks for sharing. P.S...van veteran here... not sure how long ago you recorded this but check your battery connections. My '96 460 Ford E350 Quigley 4x4 (yes, I have to say allllllllll of that, haha) would do the same thing and It turned out to be a loose battery connection. Pretty simple fix, thank goodness!

[@NorthologyAdventures]

OPE, recorded in 2023. Hope the van has been treating you good!

[@feliciafullwood]

That’s a great call, thanks for the tip! That’s one of the first things we checked when it happened and nothing seemed to be loose but we tightened it just to be safe. But we haven’t had the issue since, so hoping it’s fixed now! 🤞

[@thomaskeys180]

It’s spring still

[@feliciafullwood]

This was actually filmed last year around August, I meant to put a timestamp in the video but I totally forgot. Thanks for pointing it out. I’m going to add that in the description!

[@alanboulee5453]

I have always wanted to drive from Paradise to Hell (near the southern Michigan border)

[@feliciafullwood]

It’s a pretty cool drive! Would make for a great video too! Thanks for watching :)

[@lenastrobridge6835]

What month did you go? I have never been, and I'm going this week. Do I need to cover for bugs?

[@TheChuckoluck]

Just discovered your Channel. Your music is too loud, cut it in half volume wise and your videos will be more watchable. I know that's hard but work on it.

[@feliciafullwood]

Thanks for the feedback!
