Highway 41 Streetview trek - copper and Calumet

Hope you enjoyed that last pasty. Now, moving on toward Copper Harbor. 

Quincy Mine at the Keweenaw National Historical Park. 




Highway 41 proceeds to go through the Paavola Wetlands Nature Area, which is a swamp. We'll skip that and instead show a really impressive picture of nearby Hungarian Falls.

Here's another picture of it.














The next location on the trek is Calumet, Michigan, once the center of the booming Upper Peninsula mining enterprises. In case you're wondering, the main thing the miners went after here was copper. Iron was further south. According to the map, and the sign, these buildings are associated with the Keweenaw National Historical Park, too. There's also a big piece of copper (with a green patina) next to the sign.



Highway 41 bypasses downtown Calumet, and so has Streetview, as the views there date back to 2008.

Past Calumet, the Highway 41 end-to-end Streetview trek is truly in the home stretch. Measuring quickly, there are only 35 miles to the end of the road.

Outside Allouez, Michigan.
