US Mapcard: Michigan State

 

Michigan
The Great Lakes State
The Wolverine State

According to Wiki

Michigan is located in the Great Lakes Region of the United States of America. The name Michigan is the French form of the Ojibwa word mishigamaa, meaning “large water” or “large lake”.  It is the 8th most populated state in the US.

Michigan is the only state to consist entirely of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often noted to be shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula (often referred to as “The U.P.”) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8 km)-wide channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Upper Peninsula is economically important for tourism and natural resources.

Big thank you goes to Tera, a fellow Postcrosser Enthusiast in Facebook.  My first postcard from her. =)

Stamps she used are a couple of Forever issues and definitive 2003 issue (American clock)
