I may just have to ask OG or Chuck.

Mick ... Ishpeming, MI is about as far away ( well 450 miles anyway ) from me as I am from you ... It's in the Upper Peninsula near Marquette ... I've been through there many times but never "dined" there

It's not the size of your Michigan that makes the magic.

Morning Al, Larry, Mick, Tim, Chris.

I too, have been through Ishpeming. In fact I did a project at the hospital there. Nice little town and very scenic area. Not a bit surprised there's a saw mill up there. As far as food, it was a long while back. I assume I ate.
