Signs - Delaware |

In order to get this photo of the Delaware Highway sign, the post had to be dug out by the photographer. The snow measuring instruments are across the road from the sign. Delaware is an abandoned copper mining community in Keweenaw County, MI. This county is Michigan's farthest north and its peninsula prong bisects Lake Superior to a great extent.

The Cy Wedge Jr. Camp at Otter Lake. At one time this little cabin was directly on the Otter Lake shore. It was constructed about 35 years ago by John Skoog of Hancock. He expected to make the cabin a sort of summer cottage but because of the gradual receding of the lake he lost interest in it and deeded it over to his daughter, Mrs. Cy Wedge, Jr., who, with her husband, uses it during the summer. Today, the camp is about a half mile from the lake shore. [Photo of a building with a screened in porch. The porch has a swing and several chairs. The roof appears to be of tar paper and the steps leading to the porch look like they are in need of repair.]. Scanned: November 29, 2007 |

While the folks at home were busy clearing snow for 32 consecutive days, those who had departed knew no task worthy of disturbing their peace. This was Christmas Day at Mount Calvary Cemetery, Lake Linden where the white sparkling snow lay in undisturbed beauty on gravestones of those who no longer have winter griefs to bear.

The Houghton Soldier, marching through the drifts, is wearing the world's coldest imitation mink hat. Heavy snow is predicted for the Copper Country, and conditions could conceivably grow worse after winter begins on Monday. This is the most snow that has ever fallen in the Houghton area by this time of the year, about 82 inches at press time. Truly a monumental fall. Tennis, anyone?

Keweenaw Point - Rocket Launch |
Seasons, Winter, Woody Plants, Trees, |
In January, 1971 the University of Michigan rocket project was in delaying action at Keweenaw Point. Directed by Dr. Harold Allen of the University's aerospace department, the firing was delayed for an extended period due to the lack of a proper warming trend. The site here is directly at the point.
