The laid-back art show in Copper Harbor.
We love the Art in the Park at Copper Harbor. We see all our old friends and new ones. Copper Harbor in the farthest North Town in Michigan, no cell phone service, no stoplights, no national chains, and no freeway, just natural beauty.

Another historic location of the Keweenaw Peninsula, Fort Wilkins was a remote assignment for early soldiers. They were sent here to protect the copper interests from whatever they imagined the threats to be. Turns out the winter weather and remote location were the biggest threats they faced. Today Fort Wilkins has been restored to a nice historic state park where we can camp in our RV. I always tell Bonnie when it rains, “Our tent is dry”. She likes the furnace when it is cold at night too.
Just past Fort Wilkins is the end of the road, US 41. There are rocks out past that spot, but my car towed behind the RV is really not up to that rough a trail. Going the other way, the road sign in Copper Harbor helpfully helps you plan your trip in case your next destination is Miami.

The Michigan greenstones have been very popular at this show, just as we expected.
