Highway 41 is now approaching the last significant population center of the trek: Houghton, Michigan. Before it enters Houghton proper, it passes quickly through the Nara Nature Park, and the Streetview there is terrible. But there are lots of Streetview pictures, so here's one in the park. There are many wintry ones, but this is from July 2021.
Houghton (and Hancock) is interesting; despite how remote it is, and how much snow it gets (frequently a LOT), it has two
universities, a mineral museum, and an in-town ski area. So a few views will be viewed. Remember that the
trek is now very close to completion!
To get started, here is the "Welcome to Houghton - Birthplace of Professional Hockey" sign. Yet another aspect of Houghton. The water in sight is the Keweenaw Waterway, which connects Portage Lake to Lake Superior.

Next, Michigan Technological University/Michigan Tech/MTU. Highway 41 goes right through it. The large building
to the right is the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts.
Another view of MTU buildings.
Now we'll zip over to the museum, which is still on campus. It's the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum, adjacent to Sherman Field.
Looking at downtown Houghton, where Highway 41 briefly becomes Shelden Avenue.
Next time, crossing over to Hancock.
