North of the Bridge
Part folklore, part field report, part love letter to a hard country — a portrait of the people, places, weather, history, humor, and resilience of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Come north. The land remembers.
In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, history doesn’t always stay in the history books. It lingers in abandoned mining camps, old roads, working farms, frozen lakes, forests, storms, and the stories people tell when the weather keeps everyone inside.
North of the Bridge listens to those stories — stories of copper that vanished, watchers in the woods, friendships forged in whiteouts, grief, humor, hard work, and the stubborn comfort of belonging to a place that asks a lot and gives something back.
