Day three of our spring trek to Lake Superior. The second attempt at publishing a blog. Last year it was in the 80's this year high 30 to the very low 50's . This year we will be concentrating our time in the Keweenaw area. A few waterfalls a few small streams and some forest. This is old Copper country. it is also pastie country . They say no on could make them as good as a Copper Miner's wife.

Today we stopped in L'Anse for a coffee to go and then headed off to our destination of Calumet a city we discovered yesterday. It is a great place. Like many cities in this post-industrial era, it is struggling. it is on the rebound. Many new small businesses. An artist community. I had a great time photographing old buildings. Stopped at the old railroad station. Lots of work going on. I was taking photos outside of the building when a gentleman came out and I starting asking question. Come to discover the Township of Calumet is redoing the building. He invited me in to take photos. Kathy and I spent an hour taking photos. Jim, the one-man construction crew asked me to come back June 3rd for a fundraiser. As I get better at posting through the blog I will post more details.

Right now Kathy is off to the Casino. I am not a gambler but she has so go for it. She is very supportive of my "artistic" bad habits. Like getting up early in the morning at 4:30 to take sunrise pictures. Many times she will have to sit in the car for an hour while I take the picture and when I get home I throw it out. Never says a nasty word. she smiles when I get short with her and it has nothing to do with her. I missed a turn and she gets the short end of the stick Today she was a great help in Calumet.

I will close this one by asking you and your friends to stay in contact so that you will be up to date on this project and the City of Calumet. if you are traveling up north this year stop into Calumet. See what a city can do.
