Have a safe trip back - Think spring.

Beautiful sunrise at Houghton County Airport.

Good Morning from "chilly" Painesdale. Hope you all enjoy this "short" work week. I know I will.

you can tell its hunting season... there is a lot less posting going on here lately.

Where's the snow???

Put away the sun block and get the scooper waxed; They're predicting a chance of snow everyday through the weekend.

On Sunday a group from Kansas City came to our church. They had been up at Northland BBC in Dunbar WI. The past president of the college is Les Ollila from Calumet, hey. I told them I knew him and that we attended the same church. One young girl had never seen a Yooper before! She said she had no idea there were people up there. Dah.

Hopefully someone can help me. Last year we stopped in Iron Mountain on our way to Fort Wilkins and checked out the ski jump. My husband told me they still use it. I can't believe that. Where do they come down? It would be on the houses at the bottom of the hill. Please someone let me know.

Yes, Suzanne, they still use the Pine Mountain Ski Jump in Iron
Mountain. This winter they will hold Continental Cup Ski
Jumping Competition with jumpers competing from all over the
world. The event will be held February 25 & 26th, 2005. The
jump is on top of the hill and there is a snowy landing on the
hillside and an outrun where they stop. More information at:

YA know...that ski jump is SO bloody high.You can see it from just about every where on the "west coast".... Any one got any pics from the top of that thing? I bet you can see forever up there.How bout it Charlie?? Can you get up there?

Yes it was a beautiful sunrise this morning, I caught this from the lookout on Quincy Hill on my way to Hancock, enjoy...

Hey what ever happen to the little betsy guys?

They got gun down at gratiot lake.

Copper Peak north of Bessemer is a ski flying hill. Only four in the world. If you think the one at Iron Mountian is high, you won't believe Copper Peak. They will have a ski flying tournament next year; televised by ESPN.

Sorry second post. You can take a chair lift to the top of Copper Peak and then take the elevator to the top of the ski flying structure. From there you will see Michigan, Wisconson, Minnasota, and Canada.

Dave - Laurium,

Stellar shot - We too saw it, but kid-do's to you for sharing it.

David- Thank you for sharing the great picture of the sunrise this morning. We have had nothing but rain & more rain & more on the way. ( Quack,Quack) Surprised to hear that there is no snow up home yet! But it well arrive sooner or later. Have a good evening & thanks again.

Dave, Laurium; What great colors in that picture.
An artist could not have done better. You captured
that scene at the right moment. Thanks for sharing
it with us.

to what they don't know these days: I was in St. Ignace, on my way to calumet. In the restaurant, a woman said, greatly excited: "I never met an authentic yooper before!"

I just about choked laughing.

Dave, Laurium: Wonderful picture, thanks!

Hey, editors: How come the titles for topic pages (like ancestors and Mt. Bohemia) are not at the top of What's UP anymore?

Just asking, cause I thought that was good.

wow... Dave, Laurium! Thank you for posting the sunrise photo, gosh it is gorgeous.


I just have to add the current lift bridge shot:

oh and p.s. for Marija, I noticed there was no link to ancestors or new discussion on todays page too, but if you go to yesterdays page you can link to it. I am guessing the editors just need time to work out all the glitches of the new format.

Dave,Laurium: Great shot!

Very nice picture of the sunrise Dave. Can't say I have seen many.

Ahhhhh! The Betsy boys can't hit the broad side of a barn, let alone a poor helpless little doe-eyed deer.

I think that Bthecute1 is on to something! Let's girls get together and show these guys who can bring home the bacon.

Lowly OSU over the vaunted Wolves......what a
laugher! Ha!

Too Cool!
