wolfgang, bill... um, what's the deal with sept 9 in marquette? no
hotel rooms available that weekend according to expedia. i haven't
looked, but is that some unique yooper holiday weekend in marquette? or
just labor day holdovers? should i bring a special hat or costume? g

i'll wait til sept to decide on car and hotel... but, as i recall,
there's not much between marquette and the oxymoron, octobegon,
ontononagone...oh, hell, you know where. so bill...bring an extra tent g
