I used to live in Duluth, 3-4 hours west, and have explored the Keeweenaw Peninsula. I love the UP. I spent a week exploring this area... took some photos of a tiny 4 headstone cemetery in the woods by an old copper mine. Most of the UP is quite desolate, and this area, even more so since it’s not on the way to anywhere.
Like everywhere up there, it would be paradise if not for the extreme winter. Houghton, just south of there at the base of the peninsula, has a tech university campus and is fairly populated.
‘“There used to be nothing but whorehouses here,” said the wiry 29-year-old, pointing into the woods, recounting family memories.”’
Family memories?
The Porcupine Mountains Wilderness nearby is another place I’d suggest exploring.

- wraithdroplets 8y agoI used to know someone who claimed he thought he had met someone who knew classified information about nuclear bombardment being lied about to the lay public. (good) Neutron bombs can cleanly sweep human level bipeds but that problem is explored also in the "Gant" (not sure if available in your area) science fiction about the food chain being linked to impossible to eliminate critical nexuses of worm stuff under the ground. These would also get hit by a good neutron bomb, depending on burst down effect. Anyway, I used to have a good close friend who possibly on face recall who had a great hobby of photographing the other people exploring abandoned mining towns. Neat scrapbooks are like Old People Magic, kind of High Weird. Not every scrapbook is selected for the same hot valence either. Roadside Picnic got turned into a mythological video game but is also a wonderful movie and then also there's supposed to be the original book itself. Not all asylee in quiet American have the same disposition but there may be different wonderful tapeworms inside them training their lack of reaction to supposed reactional prevarication.
