Eight years ago on the Pasty Cam: 6/28/98^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

One of the most scenic drives in the Copper Country has to be the stretch of M-26 between Eagle River and Eagle Harbor. Vistas of the lake and the sandy beaches (not typical on Lake Superior) can make for some slow traffic. Good thing there are many turn-offs, like the one our Pasty Cam photographer documented eight years ago.

We've scheduled an open house at Pasty Central Express, the new pasty-making kitchen behind The Hut restaurant in Kearsarge. Take a break from PastyFest on Saturday, July 1, and join us sometime between 3 and 7 pm to see the almost-complete new home for Pasty Central.

Good Morning everyone. Pasty weekend is almost here.

Life is very nice as its understand;

Great spot!

Sposed to be beautiful weather all 4th of July week, except the 1st where pasty fest might get a shower, unfortunately. We will surely be at this beautiful place, Great Sand Bay, at least part of each day, some of us agate hunting, some of us on the sand.

Great view there

arenaceous

Margaret, your gramatical expressions are far beyond the scope of my mental intellect.

It's off to the bookstore. New Thesaurus needed.

Where is the Wheatman when you need him???

Arenaceous = sandy

In geology, an arenite is a sandstone.

So an arena is a "sandlot" ... in a way. See Online Etymology Dictionary
Don'cha just luv etymology?

When it comes to horse shows the show arenas are always sand.

What's UP sure has been quiet, I miss the regulars that posted. Everyone must be upnorth.

Where can I find the schedule of Pasty Fest?

Right here, Fran: Pasty Fest Schedule. :->

Thanks,someone had told my sister that the pasty fest was on Fri night. I didn't think that was right so I said I would find out for them. They are leaving the 30th for up there.

I am feeling a little melancholy tonight and thinking back. I thought I'd say good night with the words that go with Taps. Many folks don't know there are words, but here they are. This is the last bugle call played at night in the Army, and is very haunting and moving. Many nights I heard this at Ft. Hood. Going into the Fourth, it just seems appropriate.

"Day is done. Gone the sun, From the lake, From the hill, From the sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh.

Thanks and praise, For our days 'Neath the sun, 'Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky. As we go, This we know: God is nigh."

Good night all.

Richard..I think you are "melancholy"...and "looking back"...because you read the Pastyfest schedual and you want to be here....so maybe it's a message to.....come back!!.(we need you).....you can write about C & H ....when was the last good book about it's history written??

Richard, Ft. Hood was named after my maternal grand mother, Janie Beatrice Hood, great uncle.
