Mining the Beauty of Michigan's Copper Country

I just returned from my childhood home in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  Here are a few photos from our trip:

A different type of log cabin: sliced vs. stacked logs and glass bottles!

Camping fun at McLean State Park between Hancock and Calumet, Michigan

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.



Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
