UP Long Weekend
Planning a long weekend this summer. Thinking about Northern WI and the UP. From the Duluth area across the south shore of Superior to the UP and back. Three days and Two nights. Any thoughts, must see, places to stay or eat?

when you get into the UP, stop at the michigan welcome center. they have booklets there aimed at the motorcyclist. it'll give you tips for eating and lodging and the touristy things to do. they're free!!!!!!! just ask for a motorcycle guide for the UP.

If you make it to the Copper Harbor area, be sure to take the road to the top of Brockway Mtn.
The Northern Mariner (I think that's the right name) restaurant has a great seafood chowder if you're in the mood for lunch.
The other place that you should really stop in is the Jampot Bakery.
It's ran by monks and you'll know when you're near it just by the aroma.
If they have the "dark" fruit cake available, do your taste buds a favor!

Definitely do Pictured Rocks Nat'l Lakeshore. H-58 is a beautiful ride.
Also, if you are doing the UP it is hard not to cross the Mac and do the Tunnel of Trees at the northern end of the main part of MI.
