173, 174, 175/365 - Keweenaw Mishmash
An old house at the Quincy mine -- currently being restored as a historical exhibit.
A close-up of cattails. Amusingly, they were happily growing in the cement foundation of a steam hoist. No, not in the gaps between the cement parts -- in a cut-out spot right in the foundation itself!
My newly cleaned bike gears.

171, 172/365 - Welcome to Michigan!
And finally, two last photos from my travels back to Michigan -- from a roadside park, and from the Michigan-Wisconsin state line. Pure Michigan, indeed!

169, 170/365 - Sun worship!
Two photos from my wonderful (but brief) bit of sun worship last weekend. The lovely Sarah and I visited the Clark family cottage in southern Michigan and enjoyed several days of sun, swimming, and wonderful weather!

164/365 - Quincy Dredge
Here be ye olde Quincy Dredge: a veritable floating factory, whose purpose was to (literally) vacuum old processed sands off of the floor of Torch Lake, and send them back to the mill to be reprocessed for copper.
This photo has a fun story behind it. The dredge is beached at the shore of Torch Lake, not too far from the highway. I parked near it and walked in, where I met two kayakers who had just come to shore after looking around the water side of the dredge. We chatted, and not five minutes after I'd met them, they offered to let me take a kayak out and see it for myself! -- Which I did, of course. I love the UP!
