Fog settles in over the Portage Canal, seen here above Chutes and Ladders, a popular playground on the Houghton side.

(45° and light rain much of the day)

A day like any other begins in the Keweenaw with a lovely moonset over Lake Superior about 8:30 this morning.

(...but today isn't like any other... one of our regular pasty-makers turns 100.  Don't miss the live coverage of the party.)

Foggy today all across the U.P. (almost like May before the blackflies come).  Can you identify the location of this roadside artwork?

(hint: it's not in the Keweenaw)

Spring-like conditions continue in the land of pasties.  Looking down the bend , a hundred yards upstream from Eagle River Falls.

(We'd rather be snowmobiling)

As the sun sinks toward the treetops about 4:20 this afternoon, it looks more like the first of June in the Keweenaw, instead of the first of December.

(Look closely and you can actually see bugs still flying around.  No snow in the forecast.)

Calumet postmaster Dennis Pini reminds everyone to mail early.  Although we see him more often with pasty packages, this time he's rushing delivery of some greenery from North Shore Wreath.

(North Shore and Pasty Central are among the largest Priority Mail shippers in the U.P.)

Demonstrating her potato peeling technique, Kathyrn Sullivan sends a big "Thank-You!" to all who have sent birthday greetings.  Her 100th celebration was presented LIVE here on the Pasty Cam Friday.

(Some of the notes she has received are posted on Past-E-Mail this week.  Almost all 50 states and several other countries have emailed her)
