The trail to Hunters Point, which we walked several times during our week up north over the New Year, has many nice views across Copper Harbor to the waterfront of the village of Copper Harbor. This photo is of my 12-year-old Andrew standing on the shore near the trail. In the distance is the center of the village. On the left the arrow is pointing at the Isle Royale Queen IV dock, where my parents live, Don and Betty Kilpela. Their home is above the offices of the Queen IV. This is where I work every summer with my brothers in operating the ferry service to Isle Royale National Park, as our family has done for 37 years. On the right the arrow is pointing at the location of Ben and Marsha Kilpela's house in Copper Harbor, which is a block away from the waterfront and can't be seen through the trees. Note that the harbor was free of ice at the New Year. Also take note of that thin ice shelf extending out from the south shore of the harbor. The paper-thin ice was lightly dusted with snow from one of those brief snow showers that pass Copper Harbor all season long. Drew was searching for artifacts and good stones along the shore. My son-in-law Art Davis, year-round CH resident, has got him interested in collecting bottles and electrical insulators, in addition to all his other collecting interests.
