Eight years ago on the Pasty Cam: 03/19/99 ^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

Eight years ago, the Pasty Cam featured the Copper Harbor Lighthouse. There are, as you probably know, a number of lighthouses in the Keweenaw and the Keweenaw Convention and Visitors Bureau has a listing with links to web sites (if they exist). And if lighthouses light up your life, the Keweenaw Star features a lighthouse tour each July.

I was considering setting up the page this morning so "You Light up My Life" played in the background, but better judgement (or coffee) kicked in.

Good morning! OOOHHHH one of my favorite lighthouses!

Good Morning! I love the Copper Harbor lighthouse, too. But then, I have one of the many the special MI lighthouse license plates on my car. :-)

Good Morning a dark and nasty day in Ohio. I couldn't believe 99 a gallon for gas I paid $2.31 yesterday and usually it is much more in the upper than here. Have a good day!!!!

Everytime I hear a reference to "You Light Up My Life" it takes me back to when my three older daughters (now in their thirties) used to sing themselves to sleep with that song: They sang, "You give me soap to carry on . . ."!

Thanks for the picture of this lighthouse. My wife's people, the Vincents, leased it as a summer place for many years. Have spent many funand peaceful hours there.

Wonderful, Marsha.

In the same vein, when driving past the Chevy dealer one day with my son, he said, "Why do they call it a dealership?" I said, "Cause 'deal' means to sell. They are selling cars."

He looked at me like I was nuts, but said no more. Later, I saw a paper he had written where he had to give verbal directions. He wrote: Go past the deership.

Lots of snow here in Berkley, was not expecting it when I got up.

That was back in 1999. Now it is $2.59 at that Holiday Gas Station.

You are still getting a better deal than us UP here!

Hello, I had snow too 3-4 inches mix sleet snow. That was a surprise. 2 more days til spring yahoo!

Weather just teaches a lesson about enjoying while it lasts here: On blooming forsythias and magnolias, heavy snow is falling, with sub-freezing temps and snow expected for the rest of the week.
Time to bring out the ski - again.

Can anyone tell me which of the following places would be the best to stay at in August. I like to be as close to Lake Superior as possible and plan to explore the Baraga, L'Anse, Aura, Pt Abbaye, Skanee, Huron Bay area. These are the possibilities: Best Western in Baraga, Carla's in Baraga, Aurora Borealis in Aura or L'Anse Motel in L'Anse. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can email Tracey at Baraga County Tourist & Recreation Area (bctra) for tips. She's very helpful. My cottage is on Keweenaw Bay in Aura.
Don't forget to go to Silver River Falls in that area, on Skanee Road.
