This is funny and all but for actual context very few people live there.
It snows there from October to May, and there’s super bad black flies and mosquitos once it thaws. Only 3% of the Michigan population live there, and they’d prefer you not interfere with that.
It’s a difficult place, short summers, long hard winters.
UPers (you._purs) are an interesting lot. I’m not sure Wisconsin wants them, and they wouldn’t have it anyway if Wisconsin did.
