The Nordstrom hunting lodge this year has been as much used as at any time during the past 50 years. The hunters are using the same tent Hjalmer Nordstrom and his brother, Walter, utilized in 1908 when they first began hunting in the Lake Medora and Gratiot Lake, Keweenaw County areas. In the photo are the current hunters, Palmer Priest, Walk Nordstrom, Jr., Douglas Nordstrom, Hjalmer Nordstrom, 75. Robert Nordstrom and Kenneth White. [The men pose with their rifles.

The Michigan Tech Mont Ripley ski area belies its name when seen as above. Taken within the past few days, the photo shows snowless terrain. But it also shows what has been done to the bowl area recently. Virtually all trees have been removed from the depression and the gradual ascent for the skiers under the gentle pull of the tow rope has been deepened and more throughly graded. Atop the hill is an engine house which aids in pulling the skier to the top of the Quincy Range. A portion of the ramp scaffold may be seen at right. It is used for jumping events. This year the area will have four tows in operation. A fifth tow's machinery is on the grounds and may be installed if necessary.

Cheerleaders in appearance but hunters by choice. These three were in a Hancock restaurant Saturday evening. Although they do not appear to be hunters, they actually are on the prowl for deer in the Pori region where relatives have a hunting camp.

Hunting with home comforts. This trailer was parked not far from Alberta, near LAnse, Saturday. The five using it were not around, no doubt because they were after their quarry on an old logging road on which they parked the trailer. The occupants were indicated by the camp certificate as being Charles and Minnie Goodsell of Sheridan, and Lewis, Lyle and Elsie Palmer of Mason, both Lower Michigan towns. Several tents and trailers were parked between LAnse and Three Lakes. [A small trailer complete with curtains is parked on a muddy road. Some groceries sit on the top of the trailer.] Scanned: November 30, 2007 |

This photo shows Bo Soli and Roger Dault, right, both of LAnse, after they bagged their two deer in the Skanee region shortly after 7 a.m. The men were in LAnse when this photo was snapped. On the route to Three Lakes the Gazette photographer found 26 hunting parties. Most were hunting with US-41 parked cars as their base, although tents and trailers where in evidence. [The two hunters stand next to their vehicle with their kill strapped to the hood. One of the hunters has a pom pom on his hunting cap.] Scanned: November 30, 2007 |

These tree trunks are immediately outside the Cy Wedge cottage at Otter Lake. The men point out the part of the trunk where small boats used to be tied. Since the silting of the Sturgeon River became heavy this depressed area filled with fine grained material so that the old lake bed is covered in the area. Now these trees are a half-mile from the Otter Lake shoreline. From left, Roy Bekkala, Wesley Myllyla, Toivo Lahti and Fred Biekkola.
