Well Rapparee, Susan and I don't really like the hot humid Northern Illinois climate all that much. We can afford to live in the UP on retirement income and play more music. It's not as snowy and cold as it used to be. In fact Chicago area winters were no picnic either. Property taxes are a quarter of what we were paying in Illinois. We have loved going on trips for a quarter century and just decided we wanted to live here.

Louie Roy, we are in Trout Lake, not far from St. Ignace or Sault Ste. Marie.
