Though it has been slow in coming, the colors are beautiful as always.  You could choose no better place than the Keweenaw to spend this weekend.

(lots of traffic at the Jampot this morning)

We are often asked: "What does the Pasty Cam look like?"  A hand-held mirror at arms length reveals a Sony Mavica FD-7 taking a picture of itself taking a picture on the first day of October.  The Lake is choppy this morning.

(here's a wider view of the Pasty Cam's backyard)

The sun peeked out awhile this afternoon and made Elmo work up a sweat.  He's clearing a trail up to his observation tower at Phoenix.

(Elmo Negro is the former Houghton Township Supervisor)

A little overcast today in the Copper Country.  By far, the best color this year is along Cliff Drive - even better than Brockway.

(We'll probably see the peak this weekend.)

The Pasty Cam gets our feet wet in the early morning dew on the grassy shore of Lac La Belle.

(Loons and geese are singing duets in the distance.  Summer doesn't want to leave.)
