Thanks for the info. I've been to Marquette, I think at a State Park. Real pretty spot, but we didn't get a chance to look around. Looking for property can be a problem when you live a distance away. First of all, not knowing the area, I'm kind of dependent on Realtors and their listings. That kind of weeds out the bargains at the outset. Next problem, is, seems everytime we hear of something that we're interested in, it's sold by the time we get there. Takes us two days if we take out time, and usually, we can't leave the instant we hear about something for sale. Guess I got used to the way things were a few years ago. At least here in New York, properties sat for sale for months, sometimes years - as people made offers at below asking price. Now, it seems, there are bidding wars and properties are going over asking price. We've driven up twice to look at prospective properties, and both times they were sold by the time we got there. Subsequently, we've given up that approach, and are waiting unitl summer to cruise around the area.
I've heard and read, that Michigan real esate in the U.P. is getting hard to buy partly due to the early retirements of auto workers. They've got cash, and want their own paradise, and I guess the U.P is to Michigan people what the Adirondacks is to us New Yorkers. My wife is a "Troll" though, so she's really like the U.P. By the way, Adirondack property has also skyrocketed these past few years.

I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
