	Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is also known as "The Upper Peninsula", "The U.P." (or "The UP"), and "Above the Bridge" by Michiganders, and is sometimes called "Northern Michigan" by non-Michiganders ("Northern Michigan" usually refers to the northern half of the Lower Peninsula, to Lower Peninsula residents).
		The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is separated from the Lower Peninsula of Michigan by the Mackinac Straits, five miles across at its narrowest, and is connected to it only by the Mackinac Bridge.
		The U.P. was not originally a part of Michigan Territory; it was given to the 30-year-old Michigan Territory in 1835 only a few years prior to statehood, as a settlement to end the Toledo War being fought between Michigan and Ohio over the city of Toledo.

		Today, many residents of the western half of the Upper Peninsula still associate themselves with Wisconsin, largely because its universities and urban areas (particularly Green Bay) are much more accessible than those in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan (which, furthermore, are mostly clustered in the southern half of the peninsula).

	The Upper Peninsula Mushing Adventure
		The idea of having a dog sled race in the Upper Peninsula was tossed around, and the idea was passed along to other families, until that idea became an instant hit.
		In 2003, the U.P. Sled Dog Association decided to change the course of the U.P. In recent years, the southern Upper Peninsula has lacked the snow necessary for the race to continue on through that part of the trail, so the trail was rerouted.
		Here in Michigan, there are numerous mushers around the state, but only a few are offering guided trips, and they are all in the U.P. where winters are long and the snowfall is incredible.
