- This is the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge, located in Copper Harbor, Michigan. We stayed here the night before our boat trip to the Island. I love the architecture, very Scandinavian or Finnish they might say. I read somewhere that 40 % of the census takers in this area answer to be of Finnish decent. But then, that might not be that many folks since I think there are only about 75 year round residents. LOL! Copper Harbor is Michigan's Northernmost community and it got it's name from the copper boom of the mid-1800's.
- Notice the rock work on the front steps of the main lodge. I wish I had some of those rocks! They would be mighty expensive in Georgia!
- Here's the front of our cabin. Looks like a movie set doesn't it?
- Here are the boys, getting cozy and glad to be out of the truck.
- This is John, working his remote magic to get the dish TV on. Shortly after this photo we lost electricity for the evening. Storms pretty much dominated the night, also causing our cabin phone to go out, and we had to resort to the Manager coming out to wake us up at 6:00am to catch our boat ride the next morning. Little did we realize the sun would actually come up by 5:30 AM!

Oh, I just love those steps! I want some! Your cabin looks like a wonderful vacation refuge-are those windows wide open in the picture? How heavenly.
Is John watching a blank screen?
Yes he is! And that was only the beginning of him going through withdrawl from the TV! Once we got to the island (where there was no tv for 4 days) he actually convinced the boys to act out their own Larry King Live show.
I have too much George Sr. in me. Paradise to me is a good cup of coffee and my T.V. For the record, Larry King had on Paris Hilton, Lance Armstrong, and Rosie O'Donnell. John Jr. is pretty creative in coming up with the lines.
