    very nice.

    If you ever get the chance Tim, go back to Copper Harbor. Once in summer and once in winter. You'll think you are on another planet. Not sure how much snow they've got this year but can tell you it is a bunch. They no doubt are approaching 300" by now. I remember one year we spent a few days at CH but could not get up to the top of Brockway Mountain Drive. We got just past the first lookout and suddenly there was about a 6' wall of snow. No way we could get the snowmachines up there. So, we did what any sane yooper would do. We got cross country skis. Went up again but still could not go farther. It was my first time for this and needless to say, that trip going down was wild! People could not believe I did it. That was for downhill skis, not crose country!

    I had a great weekend of snowmobiling, and a fun 40th bday with friends. Then I got food poisoning after I got home on Sunday night, so yesterday was me in the bathroom, and on the couch. Today I was finally able to keep anything down and feel like a human being.

    I hear ya Horkn. Just what the heck did you eat for your celebration? Anyone else get "food poisoning" too?
    Maybe yours was too much liquid??
    Glad you're feeling better.

    Naw, didn't drink much at all.
    I actually survived botchelism while in college from the food service on campus. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance for that about 17 yrs ago, and had to stay in the hospital overnight. The doctor told me I'd be susceptible to food poisoning more than most people for life due to this.

    I ate a venison hot stick Sunday evening before dinner. I wasn't aware that the hot sticks were not refrigerated since Friday night, when I had the first one with no consequences.

    I've traveled to a few countries, some with far less food quality standards as we have here in the states, and never had a problem, and I'm adventurous in what I'll eat, but I trust my gut about if I have any reservations about food quality. I have never been as sick as I was Sunday-Monday since getting botchelism.
