Eight years ago on the Pasty Cam: 8/27/98^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

A lovely view on the way down to Lake Linden from Laurium. Back in 1998 the Pasty Cam was in its first year exploring the Peninsula, and grabbed this shot on the way down to Lindell's.

Good morning!

The bridge cam is back. So far, so good.

Good morning!

It's great to be in the Copper Country again. We moved our son in to DHH on the MTU campus yesterday and now we'll be spending a few days here. It's a beautiful morning in Houghton.

yea...for the bridge cam !!!!
Lindells...a great place. We used to venture all the way from Chassell to eat there..play the jukebox.

By the way..the company thay designed and built Lindell has a sister place in Manitowoc Wisconsin.
They look almost identical inside..even out a bit.
Beerntsen's Confectionary. Their web site is down right now for rebuild, but if you go there at a later date and look at the pictures of the place , you will see a twin.

I think they were just teasing us with the bridge cam. It's stuck again. Or maybe they are working on it.

Morning. Dave you came to Lake Linden and didn't come to see us. Shameful!

Is it Lake Linden hill or the Calumet hill? Let's vote on it. I say Calumet hill.
Lindell's... such great memories of my teen years when we girls would walk from Tamarack to Lindell's sometimes twice a day just for a coke. Okay, okay I'll admit it. Boys had something to do with it too. LOL

My vote is the Calumet Hill.

Donckers in Marquette had the same furnishings as the one you mention in Manitowoc! Good ice cream and "malts" as well.

Calumet Hill is all I ever heard it called.

Donald....Loved Donkers when at NMU...you said 'had"..are they closed??... It's been years but hope they are still there....understand Lindell's is closed....till spring....:o(

I've only heard it called Lake Linden hill.

You back this car up a ways and you can see Lake Superior. Love the view coming down the "Calumet Hill".

Obviously if you are from below the hill it's Calumet Hill and people from Calumet and Laurium call it Lake Linden Hill.

Rick grew up in Calumet so to him it's Lake Linden hill. He says it should be Laurium hill to me because you get to Laurium before Calumet. Such logic!!! It's still Calumet hill.
Donker's is still open. Too many calories & carbs in that store for me.( They sell mostly chocolates & candy)

Message for N. BISHOP (Toltecbear3), from Ironwood, with an aol.com email address.
I've tried to email you about the pictures you've sent to the gallery several times now and my email address keeps getting rejected.
You will have to "allow" my email address: mdrew@pasty.com
Once you do that, email me and I can send you the information for your new Pasty Guest Gallery, so you can upload pictures to it.

P.S. My vote goes for CALUMET HILL. DaveofMohawk is right though, the name is dependent upon the location you live. :->

we used to call it " a really big hill "

Wasn't there a car or truck that left the road near the bottom and crashed into a house ?

It really is dependent upon where you live, but let's see how many more people there are on here from the BOTTOM of the hill, eh?

Dave, yes, I think it was winter and the truck couldn't stop at the bottom. They now have a guardrail in front of that house cuz I think it happened more than once.

Maybe it should be Florida hill since that is at the top of the hill isn't it. My memory is fuzzy but I think I am right, always called Calumet hill. Can remember my mom having to back up the hill with one of the old cars since it wouldn't go up in first, that was during a snow storm also. Probably in the late forties.

wishy washy: lacking in decisiveness

My cousin, Delores, lives at the bottom of the Calumet hill.....so the car must of struck her house. I do remember a terrible crash on the hill when 2 or 3 men were killed. Their car went into the woods and caught fire when it did not make the curve..My folks often talked about the trolly that went back and forth between Calumet and Lake Linden.

Gosh, for a soda with lunch and Lindell's; does that not sound like a perfect way to go on the way to MYF. Yum!

we are planing a trip to the copper country and would like to know the peak time for the colors

Hey, I remember having an ice cream treat at Beerntsens' on the way home from Door Co. several years ago. Mmmmm good!

At the turn of the century, "Lake Linden Hill" was referred to as
St. Louis Hill, a name it still holds on most modern topographic
maps. Of course, no one calls it that anymore.

How come. Where did the "St. Louis Hill" come from?

Mimi says it is Lake Linden hill, 'cause she's from Calumet. To us in Hubbell and Tamarack Mills it was always Calumet Hill. Must be a relative thing. Yup, Mikie, when you got to Laurium you were in the Florida location. 'Member the Frosty Freeze (or whatever it was called) on that corner coming into Laurium from LL?

Ken, I was just telling my husband about that place in August when we were there. Did they have some good ice cream or what?

I'm not much of a green thumb so maybe someone can answer a question for me. I have four tomato plants in the back yard. Between myself and my daughter we have taken care of them all summer, watering regularly and weeding. Now that it's about time to start picking the tomatoes many of them are rotten on the bottom side of the tomato. Someone told me that it was because I left them on the vine to long; but most are still dark green and hard as could be. I realize that if they touch the ground that this will happen but the rotten ones were not touching anything. Can someone give me some advice?

Daveofmohawk, I have that on some of my tomatoes when I first start picking them. Most of the time the later ones are ok. I was looking for some info on the internet. There is a lot of information if you do a search for "blossom end rot". Here is one link

Deb, Know it as Calumet Hill.

Daveofmohawk, Where is Thumbgardner when you need her, eh ;) Question: did you stake your tomato plants? If not, the tomato plant bends down from the weight as the tomatoes grow...causing the bottoms of the tomato plants to be in more direct contact with the moisture in the soil...and thus rotting on the bottoms. Also, a lot of standing water in the garden, around the tomato plants can cause the tomatoes to rot on the bottoms...which is the reason you want to plant your tomato plants on small mounds and use plenty of mulch or grass clippings around them.
Tomatoes can be picked off the vine when they are green...or you can wait until they turn red, to pick them. When you pick green tomatoes, simply set them on the window sill or on the kitchen counter in a brown paper bag, and they will ripen up within a couple of days.
Hope this helps ;)

There you are Thumbgardner. ROFL. You must have posted while I was typing my post, in between cleaning the kitchen ;)

Thanks JH and Sur5er.

Sur5er, I should have been cleaning my kitchen. Tomorrow. Yeah right!

daveofmohawk-
Your tomato problem is blossom end rot. It is caused by a calcium deficiency. There is a product that you can buy at most garden centers made specifically for this. It is caused by too much water in the soil. Hope this helps you.

Deb, sorry didn't read it until this morning. It was alway's the calumet hill.

It was always the Lake Linden Hill going down and Calumet coming up. We rode our bikes to the Ice Cream place at the top of the hill from Calumet. Only took the bikes down as far as Moyle's farm before turning around. We thought the hill was too big to ride back up.
