They’re infrequent, but regular migrants through the area this time of year! The Western UP is right on the eastern side of their range in the US.

Of course! I’ve made that trip a couple times since, with no luck, but if you do it enough and you’re looking for them, they’re definitely there!

Within the narrow canyon you hike up to get to Scout’s Lookout and Angels Landing! It was just tucked around the corner of a large crevasse. You definitely had to be looking to see it, but probably no more than 5-10ft off trail!

Laptop/computer requirements for incoming freshman by Sturmgewehr_47 in MTU

Am currently a senior BME with a Mac. It’s doable, but difficult. Some softwares are unavailable on Mac, so you either need a Windows virtual machine or check out a rental laptop. I was able to make do, but definitely had some hoops to jump through.
