On Saturday we ventued west to attend an NCT interpretive hike at the Norwich Mine site in Ontonagon County's Trap
Hills. The mine is found along the North Country trail.
 |
| With fall colors at their peak, I told my pack we needed to get out there and see them! |
 |
| We parked on the NCT but we thought it would just be a short hike to the mine. |
 |
| Let's go! |
 |
| Ya! |
 |
| We made the first peak and saw the humdity would limit our views today. |
 |
| Another view, looking west |
 |
| This section was blazed but short on sawyer love. |
 |
| We spied some classic metal blazes. |
 |
| We finally located the tour group! |
 |
| The Marj's were there! |
 |
| I showed Melinda the path to adventure. |
 |
| Our guide was Dr. Patrick Martin who's an Industrial Archaeologist at Michigan Tech. |
 |
| A blacksmith shop site. I socialized some. |
 |
| Ya more of that! Pat did a wonderful job telling us details of this 1850's mine. |
 |
| Ya, I'll miss you too... |
 |
| We had such a nice hike! |
 |
| Next, the pack headed to camp at the Porkies. We prefer a more rustic camp, but at least there were lots of friendly people here. |
