Welcome to

UP Magazine

"The Porky"

Meet the 'Ole Fart, Capt. Mike and his wife, Robin!

Stories, humor and everything UP north! 

We want to share a little of us with all of you!

2026 has been a challenging year for all of us so far.  Prices are going up on everything: gas, food, electricity...everything we need to live.  The weather has challenged us too, dealing us frozen pipes and flooding.  We wanted and tried to keep the cost of our magazine at $5, but printing, delivering and regular business expenses keep rising to where it's just not possible to do so without "sellin' the farm".  So, we did a little brainstorming and came up with a few solutions.

First of all, we had to increase our prices.  The magazine will now be $7.00 for the printed copies.  Our digital copies will remain at $5.00 per download. Price adjustments to our subscriptions are also being made.

Secondly, we will be printing every two months versus every month.  For those folks who have already purchased subscriptions, we will be recalculating those so that you will receive everything that you are expecting.  We may be making a few changes to our business, but without all of you, we wouldn't be able to do this.  So, we will make sure you get what we promised.

THANK YOU for always supporting us over these past 38 years!
