It's 'Up North', NOT 'Far North'....







I stand corrected.


When I first learned I'd be transplanted from Ohio Buckeyeland to upper regions of Michigan, I told people I was moving Far North. It was far north to me- a seven hour drive seemed pretty far!


I've since learned it's Up North country, and the Far North is wa-a-a-y north in Canada, with tundra, ice flows, and the Eskimo/Inuit.


Interestingly, the largest collection of Far North Inuit art is Up North here at the Dennos Museum in Traverse City.


Go figure.....
