As you can see, the day started with a little rain.
The Ford sawmill at Alberta Village
One of the garages that Henry built for his employee's cars.
We ate lunch at Stumps Bar on the way back. This is what sat beside us on the counter.
One of the old mining trucks. It is about 25 years old. They are double this size now.
This is Leo LaFond. He bought Cliffs Shaft Mine from the city of Ishpeming for $1.00 about 14 years ago. When the mine closed in 1967, it was left as it was when it closed...nothing was removed. Leo said that he just had to clean out the cobwebs.
A pretty side street in Marquette, close to Lake Superior.
A cool picture of a Model A in the UP Michigan winter.
Ray & I had fun driving to Ford's Alberta Village and making a stop in Ishpeming at the mine museum. We also explored a local cemetary, looking for some of Ray's Mom's relatives. She lived in Ishpeming until she was twelve. We had dinner at a great micro brewery down by the water with Jim & Jackie & Gwynneth. Tom & Betty spent the day at Mackinac Island. They won't return until 10PM tonight. I hope the rain didn't follow them. All is well with our cars.
Ray, Teri, Tom & Betty
