Living in a rural or remote area doesn't mean you can't work from home, or telecommute, to a job in your chosen field. In fact, a home-based job can give some folks the freedom to live wherever they want--and if that's the case, like it is for the telecommuters we talked to, why not live in the beautiful Upper Peninsula?
A historic Upper Peninsula lighthouse is just emerging from a rehabilitation project backed by state and local agencies and many volunteers. The DeTour Reef Light in northern Lake Huron has all the tools to become a maritime placemaking asset for the area, drawing visitors, and strengthening the local economy, and it'll be open for visitors this coming year.
