Finally time to look at snow totals for the winter. 24-25 is in the books!

Some groups are posting their own amounts that may be up or down by a few inches. However, I think we all agree that it was a doozy!

As snow chances are looking slim for the rest of the month, here's a look at where total snowfall stands for this past season.

A storm from the south east really hammers the marina. This ice here came from the spray over the Breakwall! Crazy winds!

Now we are bracing for another blow tonight. Hang on everyone! As they say, β€œBatten down the hatches!”

March is still very much β€œwhite with snow.” Winter fun will be in full swing for a few more weeks.

However, Spring is on the way. Our neighbor is getting ready for the upcoming change of season. So, make a note. When driving around the Keweenaw to enjoy these sunny days, you will want to stop in the Lodge/Pit Stop during their new hours.

Happy Trails! 😎😎😎

Many hale and hardy local folks turned out for the races last night.

A friend, Jacque, took this pic of the fire pit that seems to sum up the event. Winter is roaring in the background. People are bundled and ready to support the small businesses and guest racers. You can most hear the bells, cheers, and dog teams raring to go, off camera but nearby, on the main drag in Calumet.

Lots of Awesome on the Keweenaw again this weekend. Enjoy it all! 😎

Winter is definitely in full swing. We have many happy sledders and lots of excited skiers staying in the houses lately.
One perk for guests is watching this daily show. The feeding of the deer in the front yard happens every afternoon around 4:00. Before and after their dinner, the deer are hanging out, looking in windows and posing for photos. These charming visitors are extra happy this year too! 😎

More raves about our very cool guests…
This boat is equipped with mapping devises that can detect the hard pan under the sediment in the lake. Plus, it can scan deep into the solid rock to show irregularities in the hard pan itself.
Wowzers! 😎😎😎

Vacation Fun Now, Commercial Fishing Then

Our grandfather, Charlie Kauppi, and Dad, Willard β€œSully” Kauppi operated commercial fishing operations from this gorgeous site on the south shore of Lake Superior. Now we, Bob and Sherry, brother and sister, are turning it into a center for rest, recreation and pure fun.

ATV trails and snowmobile trails run right through the wooded acres of our property. We have lots of room to park trailers. We over 1200 feet of lake shore and we have 100’s of feet of docks for anglers to cast, boaters to tie up, or to launch. We even have a classic yacht of our own tied up to the dock and available for folks to sign up as a vacation rental. We are a hop and a skip from the To***co River. Nature abounds here. Deer roam. Eagles soar. Even wild turkeys strut in and out of the woods.

We are close to all the popular attractions, thanks to our unique location, half way up the south shore of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Mt. Bohemia, a mecca for downhill skiers, is about 25 minutes up the shore to Lac LaBelle. Mount Ripley is just 25 minutes in the other direction. Tourist centers like Copper Harbor, Fort Wilkins State Park and the breathtaking Brockway Mountain Drive are about 45 minutes from the driveway of our vacation house. In Copper Harbor you can shop for souvenirs, visit museums, or get active when you rent kayaks and/or fat tire bicycles to experience the best of the water life and the rough terrain in the woods. The Deleware Mine is a great stop on US 41 just 10 miles from Copper Harbor. Museum grade displays there will capture your imagination like not other. Super helpful assistants are ready to talk you through so many ideas for fun at the Visitor Centers in Copper Harbor, Calumet and Houghton.

About 20 minutes drive to US 41 you’ll find Calumet, Michigan, a leader during the copper mining boom. It showcases its significant history with the Keweenaw National Park, the original Calumet Theater and many art galleries. Drive less than half an hour from our place to Hancock, Michigan, and tour a genuine copper mine at the Quincy Mine, which includes a thrilling tram ride. Across the lift bridge you’ll find shops in Houghton, Michigan. Michigan Technological University is a gem, with world class shows at their theater, the Rozsa Center.
