Calumet and Museums

Last day in the UP and we decided to do some museum/history things. Weather is dreary - light rain with temp about 60. We headed south to Calumet where the National Park System has just started a historic park - dedicated to the Copper Mining museums of Keweenah County Michigan. No actual buildings are on display yet, and this park is different from others - it is in partnership with many of the towns and sites on the peninsula. Between ghost towns and mines (the Delaware mine we went through) to mansions of the people who owned the mines, to railroads to haul the copper, to the cultures and religions, lighthouses, schools, etc. there is alot to see - if you are in to history. Then of course all the outdoor things like hiking, biking, camping, seeing waterfalls, going to Isle Royale, and of course the quiet and no people!

We have now put this Sunset Bay RV resort as one of our 'must come back to some day'. The camping areas we are seriously thinking about staying for months at a time are: Old Town Florida - this was in the Panhandle of Florida and it was on the Suwamee River where we did the kayaking with the manatees this past March. Oxbow Campground in Payson Arizona. And this campground in the Upper Peninsula. We had another campground but they are putting in a water park and that blows quiet and solitude. Now, if we could just sell our home.....then we have places to go - set up this RV in the Florida or Arizona place, get a small box camper with a van to pull it, and travel between the other 2. Sounds good? Does to us.
