Pasties and the UP

I always thought pasties were little breast coverups that strippers wore, not that I ever saw one. While we traveled across the Upper Peninsula of MI we kept seeing these signs for pasties, different favors were being advertised? Finally curiosity forced us to stop. This seems to a UP thing as we never saw it advertised except here. Anyway we stopped at restaurant and ordered one for lunch, it looks like a fried pie but the one we had had potatoes, carrots and they said ground meat, couldn't find any ground meat in it, must have been ground pretty fine. Mine was served with gravy, not bad but will probably not order another, even if I go back to the UP.
From the UP we crossed the Mackinaw bridge into the lower portion of MI. The first 100 miles going south was mostly forest and sparsely populated, very little traffic. Further on as the population and traffic increased it was strange to notice the lack of foreign cars. The folks here are very loyal to the Detroit built domestic cars. My great nephew Scott who we visited here works for Toyota and he said their share of the market in MI is much lower than the national average.








I ate all mine but Nita stopped here.




10 bucks to cross the Mackinaw bridge




Ever see a 42 wheeler? Saw many of them.




A real treat to be invited for dinner and visit with my great nephew Scott and his wife Augul and children Tristan and Briana.
