Try Clyde's in St Ignace, MI. Just after the bridge in the UP and they have amazing burgers. Don't know about a pizza joint yet.

Since I work with dogs for a living (in a training/boarding facility) my suggestion would be to research the history of a breed and find out what it was bred for initially. Most breeds were bred for...

I understand where Special K is coming from. I am 5'9" and weigh around 135 to 140(it kinda fluctuates). I did around a hundred miles in Michigan's UP a couple years back and tried to gain weight...

For front carrying I have an Ergo Baby, and an infant insert for it. I was more looking at the backpack style for day hiking and such. I am not planning on doing overnights on the trail for a bit,...

Agreed, the Manistee River loop is spectacular. Have hiked this several times and recommend it to any one. Also recommend bug spray :)

Dog waste does indeed carry nitrogen, phosphates and other pollutants, as does rabbit waste and squirrel waste (in high quantities). Bird waste is so bad it can damage your car paint. Yet people...

I have buried before, but usually if my pup is signalling that she has to go we get off trail and away from any water. I bury in areas of high traffic and also if she passes anything that is not...

I work in a pet store/boarding/grooming/training/daycamp setting and one of the most important things that we teach in training and tell people about is "leave it" commands. This is a perfect...

My old dog Bud did the porcupine thing 3 times, but eventually figured out that they were vulnerable in their soft belly. Caught one, killed it in front of me, and never got a quill in him that...

I have been using a staff made from red oak, my dad carved it from some old growth and then left it by our woodstove for the whole winter. It is suprisingly light for red oak, and very strong. ...

My old dog Bud, who did about 700-800 miles altogether with me, stayed in the tent with me, in warm weather on an old foam pad and in cold weather in my bag with me. My new lab, Montana, has only...

The laws defining a "service dog" are difficult to find, hard to understand, and poorly written. The main thing I would look into would be Canine Good Citizen training. They do a fair amount of...

Me: "I will get out my camera!"
