My name is Tom McCarthy and I have come to the Bergland area to snowmobile since 2001.  I lived and worked in Joliet Illinois most of my life.  In January of 2006 I was up here snowmobiling and possibly looking for a house to buy in the area because I loved it up here.  Well I was sitting at the Bar just minding my own business as usual when I spotted this beautiful bartender named "Becker". We hit it off right from the start.  In March, two months later she came back to Illinois with me and were married within 2 weeks.  I told her to give me 10 years and I would retire and we could move back to Bergland.  Well that only lasted a year, I got pissed off at work and called Becker and told her to find something to buy in the UP so we could start a business and live up here.  We ended up buying the Bar we met in.
