I'm in the UP, too. I think the shop you're talking about is in Houghton. I'm going up there on Tuesday to get the block. I know, I procrastinated way too long. I did get the bridge RxR and the one with the leaves. The shops are so far apart up here. My SIL wanted one of the blocks up here in the UP but I told her that I'd have to drive 3 hours each way and that's just too much for 1 block. I am having fun with this though. One of the shops I stopped at told me they've sold over 800 of their kits..... that's awesome. She said she thinks a lot more shops will be doing the RxR next year. It's been a big success for many.
