I'm watching this in 11/25/23. About the Quincey Copper Mine, now a National Park Service Historic Site---according to a quick Google scan of different sites, this interesting site has a huge dark side. Like so many industries in the 1800's, money and production was the goal. Like other "company towns" there were bonds and a true community, but the air was toxic, noise levels literally deafening, lung "green", the tailings were contaminated including arsenic, chemicals and acids, sewage and water used in manufacturing straight into the potable water source. The NPS has documented cancerous tumors on the fish. The Industrial Revolution made some people rich and the innovation propelled the technology. Like most mines and industrial complexes, the owners simply walked away, leaving the next generation to clean up the mess by taxing the public at large. I live near two Superfund sites. I enjoy seeing old industrial complexes to honor and respect the engineering and pure sweat and body parts lost to the gain of a paycheck, but part of me is angry that the owners who took the profits walked away, leaving a mess. This happens everywhere, including the factory where my dad worked for 38 years.

Your videos are the perfect combo of joy and peace. You are a good American.

I will watch every one of your videos. Excellent! The St.Anne's Church in Calumet, Michigan was a church less than 100 years. That building of sandstone opened in 1901, was empty and purchased by the municmunicipality/Psrk Service in 1994. I love architecture----the interior on Google is still beautiful.

Another bit about Calumet: At some recent year, all the sidewalks and utilities were redone---$$$$--- likely a National Park Service money, my guess, and to achieve the aura of the late 1880's, the parking meters were moved discreetly against the buildings, overhead utilities moved underground, street lights appropriate style for era.

Parking meters next to the buildings; else they'd be buried in snowbanks after the streets are plowed. It's a UP thing.

🕊️ Traveling with RVerTV 🛣️🚐 🕊️ Beautiful Michigan 👸🏽 🕊️Lake Superior 🏞️

Oh morning!

Thanks again Russ. I really enjoyed this summer's travels and it's great to know there is more to see. Seeing the early morning sun on those old building was beautiful. Especially that old gothic style church. Fantastic.

Awesome! I recently was watching a live tik tok feed of someone talking to the dead in a cemetery in Cherry, Illinois. There was a coal mine disaster there in 1909. A lantern set hay on fire down below that fed the donkeys. What’s weird is I’m in Illinois and never heard of this. Maybe because we used to have coal mines in this area and didn’t want to scare us?

Thanks Russ I love seeing my homestate of Michigan. The Upper Peninsula is so beautiful.

The Great Lakes have really been recovering from all the pollution of years gone by. Most of the stink's gone too - it really is a gorgeous place to visit or live.

I do too

Looks like close knit communities who watch out for their neighbor! Like the travel videos of extra footage! Thank you!

Fantastic Russ! This should be good!

Very cool video. It's so different from Arizona, where I'm originally from. I love those old brick buildings. They have a certain warmth to them. Looking forward to seeing more.

I made this same road trip September of last year. Drove from Chicago all the way to Copper Harbor. Different world up there, compared to our desert. Also went to Milwaukee and Green Bay. Looking forward to this series.

The Keweenaw peninsula is the one part of the U.P. that I've never been to. Some day I'll get there. Thanks for sharing your visit!

Hi Russ, love the little town of Calumet, especially the Gene Kelly Singin' in the Rain street lamps.

Russ and his adventures are cool

Thanks, Russ, for another great road trip. Love the longer videos. Have fun, Mike

I really enjoy watching your KZread Channel, Russ! I love small towns! It's great that they keep the buildings in town so beautifully restored! That's Americana at its finest! I grew up in a small town, Weirton, WV. Here in Weirton, we had a old time hardware store with wooden floors. My Dad took me to the hardware store when I was little. I enjoyed going to the hardware store. I mean the hardware store was independently owned and operated. When you bought nails they had a set of scales and they would weigh out the nails and put them in a bag. As I had mentioned above, they had wooden floors. Sadly the owner died and the hardware store closed. He had the hardware store since the 1940s. He first retired about 10 years ago. Then he died last year. He was a well respected business man. Out of respect, I'm keeping him anonymous. He had wanted to leave the hardware store to his son but his son didn't want the store. I really don't understand why his son didn't want to keep the store open for business. Weirton's population is a little over 18,000. I wish you safe travels, Russ. Talk soon, Alan.

This brings back some fond memories. The UP is a treasure to be cherished.

Keep up the great work Russ. We look forward to the next episode.

Thanks a lot !, Calumet is very beautiful, wonderful trip!.

Merry Christmas Russ ❤ Have a safe and wonderful New Year. God bless you!!

Go to traverse city it’s beautiful the lake water is so blue and there’s a big university I hauled the light posts up to the university from minisota

I love Calumet! Such a beautiful town!

At the 1:06:34 mark of the video on the right the building with the curved roof is the Calumet Collosseum the oldest indoor ice rink in the world built in 1913.

Wish we could have visited with you while you were up north! Hopefully we catch up with you in Quartzsite this year..

Thank you.🎉

superior is the deepest, I think Lake Michigan is the largest

​@cecerotti wow, I did not know that.

You're right, nothing like that old Main St architecture. Sustainability, and character. Beautiful video. 🙂👍👍

My friend I am a Canadian from Calgary Alberta and I wanna see your video from Kansas City because I like the city. Please let me know when can I watch it. Come to Canada to record some videos here there are a lot of beautiful places.

Thank you for the tour through my home state. History, education are so good.

What an absolute treat! Thank you Russ.

Nice video been watching your videos. We are Adventures with Ken and Linda

thank you

winter storm warnings in Calumet today

Yes, our highways are tree lined which is why we have so many car/deer accidents. Not so many though in the UP due to the wolf population.

I lived in the apartment next to that Yamaha sign in Hancock 😅

My Dad's Great Great Grandfather died of Black Lung in Colorado.

Where is Camulet? I know where Calumet is, for sure, never heard of Camulet.

Speaking of copper mines, there is a big one down your way just west of the New Mexico border.

It’s like tartaria
