Among The Yoopies, 2

 Continuing our visit to Michigan's Upper Peninsula...

The great up/down bridge at Houghton/Hancock

Headframes everywhere in this great mining area...
which fed America's industrial growth through
much of the 19th and 20th centuries

Great jams and pastries, run by eastern orthodox monks, the
Society of St. John, recommended by Jodie

Vicki had read that a great boondocking site was atop Brockway
Mountain, overlooking the Lake on one side and the interior
of Keweenaw County on the other; people drive up to watch the
sunset; then leave

Boondocking, as nearly always; we were joined by a couple
other campers later that evening

Anticipating the sunset

Thus; the weather forecast did not so much as hint at the gale
that came up about 2AM, violently rocking Le Sport the rest 
of the night; we drove the 7 miles back down to the coast as
soon as the sun came up, vowing to avoid mountain-top 
boondocking in the future

Keweenaw County snow guage (20 feet average)

Plenty to snowmobile on...

On the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore...picturesque
Miner's Castle

And on to Whitefish Point, its lighthouse and the Shipwreck
Museum (some 10,000 ships wrecked on the Great Lakes over
the years, many just off this point)

We skipped the interior of the Museum...too many
people...all masked...nevertheless...

Lake Superior, still gusty

The lighthouse

No flamingoes?

More gorgeous color on the Byway

Same day, different lighthouse (Point Iroquois)
