Our cell service was non-existent at the RV Park so to reattach to the internet we had to travel about 5 miles to the top of Mt Brockway, the highest peak in the area, to catch five bars of LTE service. It was also a beautiful overlook of the lake during daytime and at sunset. A few of those glimpses follow.
Near the village was an old US Army fort built to protect ore miners from the Indians and visa versa. Fort Wilkins was actually only operational for about 3 years.
This is the lighthouse at Eagle Harbor only 15 miles south of Copper Harbor. We thought is was colorful and the closeup view of a Fresnel lens was interesting. I believe this is a third order lens for those into lighthouse lenses. This is the glass amplification lens for the light of a lighthouse. They had sobering pictures of the entire lighthouse encased in feet of blowing winter ice. Wish we could share them with you.
We may have mentioned before but the leaves up here are already beginning to change. We notice it more and more daily. It seems so odd to Texans to see leaves turning colors at all much less in late August.
Also near our campsite was Estivant Pines Nature Sanctuary where we spent a few hours hiking through the 2500 acres of old growth pines many over 125 feet tall.
And as if that weren’t enough Linda enjoyed the annual Art in the Park craft fair just a short walk from the coach. For being so far from any other town this little show certainly attracted the crowd. It’s a good thing she could walk as parking was not to be had.
