Visit to the UP!

It has been a hectic week! It all began Tuesday. The Grand Treasurer and I met at the Grand Lodge Office and made our way north. What a great day for travel, we made it into Sault Saint Marie with no issues. It began to rain a bit as we checked into the hotel. Away we head towards Bethel Lodge. I will admit I spend far to little time in the UP and I was not aware they have monsoon type rains. We ramble through the Soo and watch the water shooting out of the sewers and manholes. I thought it was a sign from on high. The Grand Treasurer talked me into going on. I am sure glad we did. What a Great Supper we had. The Grand Treasurer did a great warm up act. The "unplugged" conversation in the Lodge was spirited and I learned a lot!.
Wednesday found us in Munising for a midday meal with the fellas from Munising Grand Island Lodge. A relaxed setting and a great conversation.
Wednesday evening and we are off to Copper Country! It was the first time in this part of the State for me. We were treated to a Fish Boil by the Brothers from Copper Country. The Grand Treasurer warmed up the group. The information brought by Mike Jungel is invaluable and was well received by the men there.
I again began into the "unplugged" portion of the evening. I think this method is well received. The Brothers ask any question and understand there are no bad questions. We had great ideas here!
