Upper Peninsula

Jim and Adam drove from Colorado to the U.P. last week to meet up with the rest of us. We visited our little cabin on Lake Superior, where - despite the fact that the black flies were out in full force & the water temperature was 55 bone-chilling degrees - we had a great time. We also toured the very interesting Quincy Copper Mine in nearby Hancock. After several days of eating pasties and roaming around the area, we headed back to the Lower Peninsula to prepare for the wedding of Adam's old roommate. Pictures of that event will follow soon.

Adam and Jacob built a sand neighborhood on our Lake Superior beach.


Jim had a unique way of keeping the pesky black flies off his head.


The boys posed at the beach.


The entrance to the Quincy Mine. We ventured in about a half mile.


Our mine guide showed us an old fault line that went through the wall.
