The glorious snow-covered Mont Ripley area is shown as it appears during Michigan Tech Carnival Week. The time-honored skiing area of the Upper Penisnula, still ranks high as a hill despite its lack of a more pretentious chalet. Probably no area in the U. P. has such a variety of enticements, where the sportsman can choose from so many slopes, gentle and steep. [View of Mont Ripley in winter from the Houghton side.] Scanned: August 16, 2007 |

Hunting |

Forty-Two hunters gathered to track down the marauding coyotes that have been killing deer along the Graverod-Elm-Misery Rivers area. Gathered here are about 25 of them from which two Walker fox hounds and a Russian wolfhound set out on various tracks to stir up the wily predator. Not one fresh deer track was seen, but coyote trails were as numerous as pebbles on a beach. At night the packs of coyotes can be heard for miles and they range as far east as the Toivola Road in Beacon Hill to the Ontonagon County line in the west. Hunters gathered here came from as far as Skanee and L'Anse. [Image of the hunters and their dogs. Please see comment section for list of individuals pictured.] Scanned: August 22, 2007 |
