Provisioning Day

June 20


Woke up to a cool, cloudy, and wet day.  We had to rent a car in Houghton to get around (no Uber or Lyft!).  We had a good breakfast at the Kaleva Café which goes back to the 1890’s.  I loved the photo on the front of their menu, it showed a picture of the original waitresses.  Found a Walmart and were able to get most everything there, even the Scotch and beer which in Minnesota we could never do.  Finished up with a few more stops and went to the movie theater to see `Wonder Woman’, which was very good.    

The area around here is known for it's copper industry.  Copper mining boomed from around 1845 to 1887.  Although the Native Americans had been mining copper for years.
