How is Copper Harbor?
It was wonderful. There's a state park there as well as a private RV resort.
While I was there Lake Superior was strangely calm, certainly not the lake Lightfoot sung about.
It was really neat to see the primitive US Army base, established to exploit the resources nearby. It's been restored and is part of the State Park.
The State is also working to widen and improve the road leading out to the tip of the peninsula. I chickened out as it was all wet clay, torn up by heavy equipment.
The road through Houghton was under heavy construction (late May), down to one lan each direction and very narrow.
There's no diesel in Copper Harbor, fill up about 40 miles south.
