"I LOVE the idea of what you have put together! We are from downstate but have a place in Gaylord and are always looking for 'day trips' from up there to see more of our incredible state.
I don't think that we would take part in the geocache stuff (so far, that hasn't caught on in our family), but will subscribing get us the weekly information on the different cities you're highlighting?
Thanks for getting this info out there for us! I'm very excited for us to dig through and find our next adventure to a new up north city!"
