The Pasty Cam Week of May 3 - 9, 1998

Saturday 5/9   The U.P. has been so long without rain, fires are beginning to be a threat. This is near the Houghton county airport (CMX).  (near the village of Boston)

 

Friday 5/8   From the Ripley side of the canal, the Pasty Cam zooms in on the Houghton County courthouse.   (another clear, dry day in the Keweenaw)

 

Thursday 5/7   This is the longest stretch of sunny weather we have seen in years in the Copper Country.  Notice the progress of the leaves.  That's MTU in the distance.  (as seen from the turnout up Quincy Hill)

 

Wednesday 5/6   A special grant has enabled downtown Calumet to redo the streets, like they were in the mining days.   (the work should be done by June)

 

Tuesday 5/5   The Keweenaw County Road Commission is busy preparing signs and highways for the flood of visitors which begins over the next month.  (BooHoo... black flies arrived today)

 

Monday 5/4   A bit of visual trivia:  Can you identify this mine shaft house which looms above the surrounding homes?   (hint: it's in the Keweenaw)

 

Sunday 5/3   Busy weekend for Governor Engler!  He greeted Calumet dignitaries at the Theater, honored the state champs (Calumet hockey team) and received his own Pasty Central T-shirt.  And yes... he mentioned that he will seek re-election. (Ours was one of several stops around the U.P. yesterday.)

 

...and if you missed the previous week
