The Cormanus Chronicles: FNQ

[emptysea]

Great report, Cormanus. If you wanted to start a moto-tour biz down there, you have your brochure written.

I was struck by your observations on remote locales and the people that live there. Here, one such location is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which like FNQ, also is referred to as an abbreviation - U.P.

With a few edits for indigenous species, this is a pretty dead-on description of the UP:

“...and, like many remote places, people there feel very separate and under-appreciated. It’s probably fair enough: it’s a long way, the climate is different and they face entertainments—cyclones, crocodiles and irukandji (or box) jellyfish and the like—denied to those of us who live further south. And, of course, we just don’t understand them.“
