Our next stop was to Copper Harbor and the Keweenaw Peninsula. Interesting that US 41 begins (or ends there) and is the same US 41 that goes right through our hometown in Florida! Mainly why we had our picture taking by the sign. This is as far north as you can go in Michigan! And Andy and I have seen the end (or beginning) of US 41 in Miami, Florida which is 1990 miles from where we were standing!
We tour some of Michigan Tech University, the copper mine and did some fishing on the river that splits the cities of Houghton and Hancock. Our camp grounds were right on the river. Sideline interesting story: One morning when I was in the community bathroom(!!) and young mother and her two young children come in to use the toilet. She is staring at me. Okay, so it is early morning and I don't look my best I know. But then she says to me that she thinks she knows me and that I have a son and 2 daughters and then she says my name!! Now this is weird. She was a friend of my son, Neal and they went to school at Our Shepherd. Now more weird then this....she left the school when she was 6th or 7th grade; making that 20 years ago and she recognized me!! Of course, I cannot even picture this girl but I did remember the name. Do you think I must have changed in 20 years?
