Nancy,
Some of the people that you mentioned may have been
some of my relatives. We have a number of relatives
that live between Houghton and Copper Harbor. The
number 1 place for Pasties is a small store in
Laurium. I have spent many weeks over the years in
the UP sledding during the winters. It is a beautiful
place year round.
Glad you enjoyed your time up north.
Jeff
