The Spirit of the North Country

from North Country History with Rob Burg · host Rob Burg

This episode is an opinion piece on where do you think "Up North" begins. Is it a geographic location or where you start to feel that you are "Up North." I will tell you where I think "Up North" begins in Michigan. I don't have an opinion on Wisconsin or Minnesota, but if you are from these states or vacation in them, then you know. Same if you live in Michigan, my "Up North" is not necessarily your "Up North"; but guess what? We're all correct. Think about how "Up North" makes you feel. This is what I call "the Spirit of the North Country."Episode Resources: This is an opinion piece so there are no source material. But if you feel the need to be inspired, read Sigurd Olson, Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, or anything about the northwoods or activities you love. I would recommend reading them while sitting under a big pine tree listening to the whispering pines at a cabin, cottage, campsite or resort.Support:If you enjoy the podcast, tell a friend.
