The legendary George Gipp ("win one for the Gipper") was one. So was famous writer
John Voelker (aka John Traver). You can be a one, too, if only for a week or two,
when you visit Michigan's incredible Upper Peninsula. The term is YOOPER, but it might
as well be Adventurer, Fun-Seeker or Friend.
When you're here you can't help but get out and explore, no matter the season. Summertime
is a great time to find your favorite spot along miles and miles of Lake Michigan
shoreline, get wet at one of the hundreds of deep crystal lakes, or put your handicap
to the test at one of several championship golf courses. Winter visitors have their
pick of thrilling ski resorts, massive indoor water parks, and tribal casinos. Then
there's fall, which offers a fantastic opportunity to simply get in the car and drive
as Michigan's trees put on a magnificent Technicolor display.
Famous Mackinac Island is just a short hop from several EVRentals resorts. Mackinac
is a grand testament to the 19th century family getaway, where bikes, horse-drawn
carriages - and foot-power - are the only modes of transportation.
