After a very slow start to the snow season, this week the Keweenaw Peninsula resumed its usual wintery conditions, though a little colder than normal. So cold, in fact, that the authorities in Hancock canceled the polar bear dive :o( After the snow stopped falling (and power was restored everywhere) I made the rounds to some of the remote neighborhoods to restore wireless Internet service to our Pasty.NET members.

There are several stretches of highway and back-roads in these parts known as "covered road", but most notably the one heading out to Liminga and the other near Mandan on the way to Copper Harbor, which you've seen in warmer seasons here on the Pasty Cam:

Great video Charlie! Really makes you feel like you
are right there!

Wow, Charlie...you should enter the Detroit Grand Prix. I was getting car sick :-O

Great photos + video.

ALEX--I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I KEPT STOMPING THE FLOOR WHERE THE BRAKE SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

Beautiful pictures! The video was an added bonus! But I was looking for that other brake as well, as in a driver's education car!

LOL! Alex, Richard and Janie! ....me too!:>

THANKS FOR THE MORNING RIDE. ITS NICE TO TRAVEL TO MANY PLACES OF THE WORLD NOW DAYS. I WAS TRVELING THRU CROATIA FOR 50 MILES THE OTHER DAY ON THE INTERNET. AMAZING

Great photos and video! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful pictures! Great job on the video Charlie, that was really cool! Thanks!

I could have watched that video for hours! So miss the U.P. and all the sights from there. Maybe it's time to up the ante and go from still pics to videos more often! Loved it!

GREAT video...I worked at the old Mariner (the one that burned) and boy...do I remember that ride. WHA!

I enjoyed the video very much.

Thanks Charlie for the ride through God's Country. Ladder and all it was great. The Copper Country is beautiful regardless of what time of the year. Thank you for this site.
