Lunch was great!

The road to Copper Bay

                                                          Teri had to do some laundry.

The start of  US HWY 41

 Fellow Model Aers needed help at our hotel.  Of course Ray had just what they needed.

Our hotel in Copper Bay

We were on the road before 8AM today. It was a nice drive with temperatures in the low seventies. US 45 is a scenic highway. We stopped seeing any more of the big farms. The terrain is rolling hills. There are lots of tall pines. We ate lunch in Houghton, Michigan. They advertised pasties. Ray's mom's family ate pasties. I had one for lunch. it had round steak, potatoes, rutabaga, onions in a paastry dough. It was something that the miners used to take for lunch while working in the mines. Towards the end of our ride today,there were some really big hills to climb.

Copper Harbor is a small town. So small that the only gas station is closed for 4 days. The owner went on vacation. Noone locks their doors. There is not any cell phone seevice. We are staying at a small hotel. There are six Model A'a here all headed to Marquette. We have a pretty view of Lake Superior from our room. I was surprised at how rocky the beach area of Lake Superior is. We took our cars to the start of US Highway 41. Of course we took pictures. Now we need to go to the other end of it at the Florida Keys. I think I see a future Model A trip in the works! Tomorrow we will drive to Marquette, about 150 miles. Ray, Teri, Tom, & Betty
