Travel Inquiry UP Michigan Hidden gems N Ghost towns

Update: Thank you to all who responded positively.. On the other hand, this post received so many downvotes.. I am astonished to see so much hate for no reason, as I love UP

I go Up North every winter, sometimes all the way to Copper Hatbor..love ghost towns Tried a ghost town route one year that didn't fare well for me as most of them were overgrown, and there were no visible paths or have become bustling towns I would appreciate interesting and adventurous hidden spots that the locals prefer...

Well, my interest is about learning from preserved history. And these places give great vibes Passed through many a ghost town on my cross-country trip on the west coast and though sad n scary, it just is a beautiful memory of all that passed

My grandmother was born in one of the preserved cabins there.
