To you, Immamac, for bravery in the face of certain mockery and ridicule, and for risking toxic contamination in a yankee nether region watershed, I proudly present the First Annual Surly Blue WTF You Only Live Once Blue Max

Currently about 3 hours into the 6 hour drive to Mackinac City where we will crash tonight, board the dog (no dogs allowed on the island)

I am paying the catering company cash for a steep discount (10%) and it's basically the only way I did this party without losing money. Well, there's a little interesting fact I wasn't aware of when I planned this. There is not a single fucking Wells Fargo bank in the ENTIRE STATE OF MICHIGAN. So now I'm basically in and out of shitty rural internet trying to figure out a way to get 10k+ (exceeding IRS reporting etc) in physical cash. 

Called my good buddy who works at PNC. He told me they would take care of me. 2 hours later I have money in PNC (via wire) and cash ordered at the Ann Arbor branch for pickup Friday afternoon. Crisis averted. Thank god @BobbyB didnt have to mule cash for me across the country, which he so graciously offered to do. 

Now I just have to make it to PNC by 6PM Friday so we can all eat Saturday. 

By the way. We are fucking sold out on this party. 


Laughing with you through this. What else can you do?

Hat tip on the covert operation.

 

And thanks to @BobbyB for his help too. Y’all doin the Horns work, keep up the fight.

Cheese curds were fantastic. Squeeky and all. Perfect. Wouldn't expect any less from a joint in Wisconsin.

Whitefish was on point as were the livers.

Went from there to check into our little cottage in the north woods. Then immediately to the beach of lake superior. I took the plunge, water felt fantastic. No taste or odor, almost pure! Crystal clear.

Then we went and got trout, they were out when I got there and a boat got in and they pan fried me one right off the boat.

Sounds like you blew through Wisconsin. There are lots of pretty lakes between Duluth and Mackinac, which btw was named after Mack Brown's favorite cookie.

We spent all night last night and all morning this morning before leaving in Wisconsin. We didn't stop at all the little things in between Wisconsin and Mackinac because there's a whole lotta nothing.

Immamac, before you get all distracted with the postgame victory fest Saturday, promise yourself to save all these precious archived in a reliable mefium.  Your children and their will revere your memory for archiving this glimpse of history.  I would pay big money for pics of our family trip in 1964 from Tuscaloosa up to Sault Ste Marie (crossing the Mackiinac Strait Bridge) over ti to Quebec and back South.  Good times.  Thank you for taking time to share all this.
