Right, the same town name on both sides of the border. The Ontario Soo is about 75,000 and the Michigan Soo is a little over 15,000.
I've had to drive from Chicago to the Iron Mountain, MI, area on business a couple times. It's a very nice area. Once you get north of Green Bay, there are hardly any people. There were only two radio stations by the time I got to Michigan. You feel like you stepped into the 1800's. Maybe you can explain to these people what a supper club is.

I think the farther west you go in the UP, the farther back you go. The Soo is more like 1950. Iron Mountain is a couple hundred miles away, not too far off the midpoint of the UP, and you said that's about like in the 1800's. And the westernmost part of the UP is the dark ages.

Is "Iron Mountain", the same as the, "Report from Iron Mountain" fame?

Not even close. Iron Mountain Michigan is a looooong way from being a think tank.

Hey! They've got an Olympic ski jump. They didn't have those things in the 1800s.
Cystem, last Monday I crossed the bridge and waved to you as I went by. Before crossing the bridge my vehicle thermometer said 91. Upon crossing the bridge it read 85. Ten miles west, on 2, it read 76, and another ten miles down the road, it bottomed out at 68.
I was so happy to be in the UP.
Well that was weird.

Yeah, a southern wind coming ashore off Lake Michigan can really cool things down for several miles inland, and traveling on 2 you'd get that nice effect the whole way. My mother lives right on the shore of Lake Superior and gets the same cooling effect with NW and N winds, and with NW being by far the most common wind direction around here, that's a nice situation.
I live a little more than 10 miles inland from the northwestern tip of Lake Huron, so I don't get an onshore cooling effect. But it's still a lot cooler here than down in the lower flatlands.

No, I just have a rough idea of the mess/satire/hoax/snafu/whatever. It sounds like it could have be done as a good script for Peter Sellers like Dr. Strangelove.
I love George C. Scott in Strangelove-- the perfect actor for the time. If the movie had been done 10 or 15 years later, Jack Nicholson would have been good in that role.

Truly! Add Sterling Hayden, and Slim Pickens!
