Heading North, and then some...



Location of Pellston, Michigan

Heading to Pellston, Michigan in the morning, to shoot exteriors on a frozen lake. Here is the Wikipedia description of this garden spot of the Midwest:

 

Pellston is a village in Emmet County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 771 at the 2000 census. The village is the home of Pellston Regional Airport. Its motto is "Icebox of the Nation"; Pellston recorded the state of Michigan's record low temperature, a frigid -53°F. in 1933, and every winter is regularly called out in national weather reports, along with towns like Big Piney, Wyoming, Fraser, Colorado and International Falls, Minnesota, as one of the coldest spots in the nation.

When you look at Michigan on the map above, you see that it is shaped like mitten. Pellston is on the tip of the middle finger, which is somehow appropriate. I’ll be able to throw a snowball and hit Escanaba, or very nearly so.

I like how you said Pellston is the middle finger of Michigan. It was a little cold.
