Where does 'up north' begin for Wisconsinites? Draw your own line

Wisconsinites don't agree when it comes to defining where "up north" begins.

We learned that with a recent Facebook poll that used six state highways as the borderline.

More than 6,000 people cast votes, and the winner was the area above Highway 8, which stretches from Barron, east through Tomahawk to the Upper Peninsula just south of Iron Mountain.

But many commenters said our poll was flawed because it didn't include the option of voting for Highway 29, a four-laner a bit farther south of Highway 8 that stretches from Chippewa Falls to Green Bay.

With that in mind, and summer vacation season in full swing, we're giving this a second try. Our new "up north" map lets readers draw their own line.
