We met Jeffery at Ironwood today. He is from Iron Mountain. The story of this area is similar to that of the other Lake Superior towns we have gone through. Iron Ore was discovered here and soon the railroad followed. Now the area is tourist destination with many ski resorts and the beauty of the Great Lakes.
One thing that people love about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the snow. Snow enthusiasts love to come and play in the Porcupine Mountains. In fact the motto of Ironwood is, “Live where you play!” You can do a lot of playing here. We finished up by touring the Porcupine Mountains and saw The Lake of the Clouds.
