My Husky Wants inside this epic ghost town building at Fayette Historic State Park! Today we are packing up and leaving our hotel and taking the huskies and our friends @Wanderlocal down to the Ghost town of Fayette. This is an amazing state park, and I highly suggest if you are in the area to stop by and check it out. You can literally spend hours here, walking through the buildings and through the grounds. At one point, over 500 people lived in this little town!

Good, wonderful, beautiful morning Pawdience!
She's like, I'm thinking about throwing another fit. I'm thinking about it.
Girl, you ate all the breakfast. You ate it all. It's gone.
It's gone. We're packed up. We're getting ready to leave the hotel today.
It is... looks really nice outside, but I don't know if you guys can see the trees moving like crazy.
It's super windy up here today. 62°F right now?
Yeah, it's supposed to get really hot up here today. It's supposed to be really hot at home, too.
So that'll be fun. So we are going to... I think we're gonna go to PetSmart.
Wanna go to PetSmart? Wanna go do a shopping haul at the PetSmart?
I might run into Michaels and then we're gonna go meet up with our friends and go on a couple more...
couple more adventures, right? Are you ready to go? You wanna go for a ride?
Wanna go for a ride? I know you're mad you have your harness on. I'm sorry.
But it's okay. All right, let's get out of here.
You ready?
Let's go to PetSmart!
Yeah!
It's so windy out. It is.
I just ran into Michaels and I didn't buy anything.
I didn't buy any Halloween stuff at all and now we're heading up to meet up with our friends
and then we got to drive like an hour south and I think we're going to Fayette.
What do you think, Fayette?
I think that's where we're gonna go. It should be super fun. So we're gonna go do that.
I don't know what the colors will look like down there, but they are definitely starting to change more and more each day up here.
Look, there's Volkswagen Beetle!
I was just gonna say that.
It's for sale!
We got distracted by the car immediately.
We are on the road to Fayette and I was just looking at...
You can see what out in the distance, the big wind turbines.
So here in a second, you'll see it.
Yeah, there's a big one right there.
I always forget that these are out here. There's a whole bunch out there.
Making a bunch of power.
Yeah, not too many people live out here.
No, and there's no internet like this whole peninsula.
Yeah, so not too many people object to the wind turbines out here.
It does kind of, I mean...
Part of me feels like they do kind of ruin the landscape, but I don't know, maybe not.
I mean...
I mean, when you look that way, instead of seeing a pretty field, you see a bunch of spinning blades.
Yeah.
But they're kind of neat at the same time, like so I don't know how I feel about them.
Right.
We are almost to Fayette.
Alright, you girls gotta wait out here.
I'm gonna go inside. You got them for a minute.
And then, yes, I will let Jamie go inside.
The audience is always so concerned you don't go in the buildings.
Uh, sometimes I do.
That's what I told him, I'm like, sometimes he does.
And sometimes I don't, cause I've already been there.
Yeah, so I'm gonna go in.
You girls be good.
Look, here's all the miniature.
You can stand in here.
And learn the whole story of Fayette, which is where we're going after.
Woo, it's a windy one today.
So we made it to Fayette.
Kira's never been here. This is your first time, huh?
I don't think you've ever been here.
She's like, I would just like to go swim in the lake.
Please, thanks.
Yeah? What are you whining for?
I know we haven't been here in quite a few years.
So some of you are new, may not know it's here.
There's the big cliffs over there.
That's my favorite house in the whole park.
Is that one right there?
I think so, yeah. I think that was the hotel.
It's crazy to think that it's...
Daniel and Lauren are filming over there.
Over a hundred years old, made out of wood.
Yeah, right? I know they restored some of it, but...
And then some of the buildings, like that building,
they were able to restore, but like this sign here,
you can see these footings in the ground?
This was a carpenter shop.
It's not there anymore.
And then, I think inside it said
like a lot of the places where the miners lived
was like over there.
But none of the buildings remained, but they recreated some of them.
What did we say? 500 people lived here.
500 people.
So 500 people lived out here at Big Bay Denac.
It's so crazy.
Mining and smelting ore.
Yep. Sending it out on boats in that big bay.
And we'll take them to the ore smelter.
We'll walk over that way.
What you think honey?
She's like, this is great. I'm gonna sniff all the tings
and smell them all.
Sorry girls, it's not Mackinac Island. No puppers allowed.
Their monthly payroll is awesome.
Is it on there?
$826.
Really?
For 153 bullies.
Only five? Yeah.
That's insane.
That's so crazy.
That's like one human in a normal office.
It's a little over a dollar a day per person.
Wow, you math good.
Yeah, it was pretty easy.
What you think girls?
I was just telling Jamie we should try to get him to pose for a picture
in front of this, cause it's cute.
But we just got here, so I don't know if that will work.
We gotta give them a few minutes
first before they
do that.
This is some of the inside of the hotel.
So when people would actually come here to stay,
they would stay inside this hotel.
My favorite is the staircase.
We're not allowed to go up there, but I would like
to go up there and see what's up there, cause it's cool.
There's some more of the buildings.
Now we're at the
where they melted everything.
Where they had these big fires.
I'm going in.
Hey girls, I'm this way.
Oh, pigeons!
And in the sand here,
they would make the molds for the
the pig irons.
Jamie's telling the stories about how everything works.
And the dogs are like,
holy man, there's pigeons!
Pigeons!
I don't know how close I want to get.
Where'd they go?
As long as they're not going to fly out at me, we're good.
So cool!
Oh, there is one in there!
230,000, so if you guys want to read the sign,
you can pause it and read it.
That's what it looked like.
This is what it looks like now.
And it's full of really creepy pigeons.
Look at them all up there.
This is my favorite view.
That's just so cool.
We can get down to the water
down there, it's kind of shallow.
It could be rocky, but yeah.
We'll take them down there.
So crazy cool!
Another one of those big buildings.
Oh, birds! Oh my goodness!
Don't laugh at me guys!
He's up there.
I thought this looked cool right here,
so I wanted to come show you that.
This is another building right here.
And pigeons are making all kinds of noise.
There's another one.
Jamie and Lauren are out there
reading some signs.
Oh, I think the dogs went in there.
Let's go see if we can find them.
It's probably nice and cold in here.
Are you in there? Knock knock!
We're coming in.
Whoa!
Is this
so cool in here?
Oh my gosh, it's freezing in here
compared to outside.
Memphis was just looking up with me.
She was like, what's up there? Can we get up there?
Yeah, can you howl in here?
Want to sing?
Memphis, or Kira's reacting to that.
She's like, wait, what?
I don't know how I feel
about that, guys.
There's some
pause it and read it information
about the kiln we were just inside of.
That's what we were just inside of.
There's another one over there.
The dogs are like, can we go to water yet?
It's like, right there, daddy.
You might be able to get down.
We might take you to the water.
There they go! They're in!
They're in!
This is the life!
Look out, dad. You're gonna get wet.
Hey, there's still slag in there.
I was just gonna say, there's chunks of slag
all over.
Is that good stuff?
Yeah, this is the good waters.
This is Lake Michigan, if you guys
are wondering.
Good stuff? Good stuff.
Hey look, you're allowed in this building too.
Come on, let's go find your sister.
She's checking it out.
She's checking it out. Okay, enough with the pee mail.
Come on.
It says, mom, I gotta read the messages.
What do you think, pup?
It's like, whoa, there's grass over here.
I'm gonna eat it.
It's delicious.
Look at her.
She's like, whoa, somebody's calling me.
That is really pretty.
From this view, we can look back this way
and see all the town
and what it looks like.
That's really pretty.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm going this way. I'm going this way.
I'm going this way.
There's a Canada goose.
Winter is not here yet.
Not yet.
Dogs are checking things out.
We were just admiring how huge this tree is.
And then, right here,
there's a big chunk of mushrooms
on the side of it.
I don't know what kind of mushrooms they are, but...
Tree mushrooms.
They look pretty cool.
It looks like pancakes on the side of the tree.
Yeah, it looks like pancakes.
So weird.
We're out here with the dogs.
Where do you think Jamie is?
He's picking apples for everybody.
Look at his mouth full of everything.
Yeah? Good!
Certified organic free range apples.
Trying it?
Do you approve Kira?
What about you Memphis?
Memphis is like, will you bite a piece off and feed it to me?
How about you?
Bite a piece off and feed it to me.
That's how it works.
Is that good?
We're inside what used to be the town hall.
We've got a bunch of really cool stuff in here.
Look at that barber pole.
That was the barber shop in there.
Go in there and get a shave.
There's Daniel and Lauren hanging out over there.
Look at that fish on the wall.
Holy cow!
I always like these.
Windows to the past.
As you look through the windows, picture what it might have looked like.
Studying the past.
What do we got over here?
Beach glass.
Beach glass somebody found and brought over here.
If you find artifacts, you're supposed to turn them in.
Somebody found this cup and brought it up here.
Hi girls!
This is the music hall.
It's hot up here.
They would come up here and party and celebrate.
Turn these furnaces on.
There's a piano up here.
Check that out.
You're just a black shadow.
I'm in a ghost town.
I'm supposed to be scary.
We took a puppy break.
Memphis is getting some love.
She's so happy.
Memphis, where did your ears go?
Are you a happy dog?
Kira's like, I'll take it or leave it.
She was just in your lap for ten minutes.
I know, right?
We just relaxed at Fayette.
I always wanted to call it Lafayette.
It's just Fayette.
We're not in Louisiana.
There, now you're not so dark.
Sit down.
You want to come snuggle me?
You don't even like me.
Maybe.
I don't like it when you do that.
Kira's like, I don't like it when you snuggle me.
Look, I'm a Husky Australian Shepherd.
Husky Australian Shepherd.
Over here with those cute ears.
Ready?
Husky Australian Shepherd.
I see the Snickers over there.
Memphis.
She's not playing with you.
She's like, now we get love over here.
She's a little wet.
It's warm.
I think it's supposed to be 80 degrees.
The breeze and the shade is perfect.
Are you twisted?
Cutie.
Lunch for puppies.
Yep, that is definitely wow.
Yeah, you girls are happy, huh?
Okay.
