The Ice Cave, Then vs Now

This recently discovered photo gives us a look at the Ice Cave entrance as it originally was. The lower entrance has since been mostly blocked off.

I guess we can announce this now. We will have a dual power solar/grid charging station installed on the property, near the Bill Nicholls trail, in the coming months.

Hamilton's North Coast Adventures will be running the rentals so give them a follow.

Hamilton’s North Coast Adventure Rentals Owner Steve Hamilton said the rental company will be receiving four all-electric Polaris Ranger Kinetics.

Found at the mine today! Each miner wore a brass tag identifying them. This is from the 1898 company that mine here.

Another year and the 14th running of the Miners Revenge is in the books.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers, sponsors, employees, and friends who make this such a fun event.

With direct access to hiking, biking, and ATV trails right out your front door the hardest decision will be what you do today.

"Throughout America’s history, women have played a critical role in mines and mining operations, often in the face of prejudice and other hardships due to their gender." - U.S. Department of Labor Blog - "A Brief History of Women in Mining" - March, 2022.

With the Fourth coming up in less than two weeks, we would like to put our shoulder to the wheel, the bicycle wheel, in helping create a more balanced America.

We feel that there is no other cycling event in this country, or possibly even the world, that has a tighter connection to mining. We race ON historical grounds, and IN, and AROUND, and OVER a copper mine that started operations in 1850. Our event name is 100% telling... And if you have spent some time with us, you know what we are talking about.

The hardships endured by miners, even today, are tougher, more dangerous, and less rewarding then most-all other endeavors. Our race reflects that challenge. Give us a try and see what we mean...

The 2023 celebration of "freedom & equality" on this July 4th will be met by our way of doing our part in making this country a better place to live for all! So...

ANY & ALL women that register for Miner's Revenge on 'Independence Day' will receive a 100% refund of their registration when they pick up their packet on the weekend of the event. As simple as that!

Because creating opportunities for badass women to show what they are capable of is something that we'll always stand by. Please help us out, by sharing this post!! And yeah, joining us as well on July 21st to the 23rd in Greenland, Michigan.

The photo on the left is the July 27th, 1980 cover of "The Observer" magazine. The photo on the the right, featuring Erin Johnson, is our July, 2023 'rendition' of "The Obsessed" magazine - we think you get the point. And to highlight what this is all about, a quote from the 1980 article, which is titled 'Where a woman's place is down the mine';

"They have survived family disapproval, male ridicule, and female resentment, so they feel they are special."

They are special. And awesome. And amazing! Join us in celebrating just that! You can register right here;

It's not the Mothman, it's just a Moth, man.

These giant moth's are common here at the Adventure Mine so don't freak out if you see one hanging out when you visit. They are completely harmless and docile enough to handle by hand, although we advise leaving them alone.

Summer is in full swing, and that means wild Lupine (Lupinus perennis) season!

Our local Lupine are predominantly blue but they can also be found in purple, pink, and white. Fun fact, the famous Texas Bluebonnet is a member of the genus Lupinus and close relative to our wild Lupine here in the UP.
