During our trip up the Keweenaw Peninsula, we stopped off to visit our friends Bill and Carly and their spunky pup Jo in Calumet, MI. We had a wonderful time sharing stories and preparing a meal over the fire together.

Our delicious dinner was comprised of locally-sourced bratwurst, corn on the cob grilled over the fire, a simple chilled pasta salad with fresh vegetables from the garden, and juicy watermelon. Tammy brought wine and ingredients for sangria and we brought some Wisconsin Point brews to share with the yoopers!

Their land is so secluded in the woods, it truly feels like a nature escape where all time ends. The Trap Rock River runs through the acreage, providing natural fresh water and transportation, as they love to run rivers in the Upper Peninsula. Bill and Carly live a beautifully simple and organic lifestyle and we feel so grateful for their hospitality in sharing their cozy, rustic home with us!
