@malborobread @JoshLipnik Sometimes they stay so sharp! Like this monument in an Ontonagon cemetery (the makers mark gets me)

@JoshLipnik They called it Fox Night in Ontonagon, something about a teacher named Fox who the kids didn't like getting his outhouse hole rim (and thus, his whitewear) boot-blacked in the night.

"Wm. Fox, a graduate of Oxford, England, was employed as its teacher..." https://t.co/0okYI0SJ4g

@JoshLipnik The sandstone was re-used from village gutters when they were replaced. I believe I recall some unsavory stories about the time of the gutters' original installation. https://t.co/uBdGDtp5jQ

Use the basket.
There's a darn good reason,

A poem from their bathroom stall ca 1990 (😅 many, many fish fries)

All of us with septic tanks,
Give to you our hearfelt thanks,
For putting nothing in the pot,
That isn't guaranteed to rot.
Kleenex is bad, matchsticks too!
Cigarettes are taboo!
No haircombings...

@amk44139 @JoshLipnik There was Nonesuch other copper-bearing shale like it on Earth (and a lot of East Coast investors with British ties named things)

@JoshLipnik Learned to swim here. Earned a certificate! Only indoor pool in the county until the AmericInn in Silver City expanded

@JoshLipnik Legend has it that White Pine was designed to be confusing so that newcomers driving around stuck out like sore thumbs, sort of Cold War-era security

@samuelt22223 @JoshLipnik Iron Mountain's in the banana belt of the Yoop, barely any snow to speak of 😉

[CopperLady Lynette @RedJacketette]

@JoshLipnik Oooh I didn't think to ask until now if you made it to see the snowshoe spider priest... er, the Venerable Bishop Baraga sculpture

[CopperLady Lynette @RedJacketette]

I get to sleep in Jane Austen's family home tonight and it's... how will I sleep‽

@KurtisCarman @tmarsik1 @JoshLipnik This is nitpicky.
That's Portage Lake. It was a long lake with "fingers" before channelized at the Bay and the canal cut to the north, making the northern part of the Keweenaw an island. Keweenaw Waterway. Kupari Saari/Copper Island

Portage Lake Lift Bridge for a reason 😅

@MarttiRatia @KupariUsa @JoshLipnik Arbutus has passed, but her legacy lives on. It's open.
