80 and sunny by the lake in Michigan's great southwest

Historically, I believe that’s been referred to as Michigan’s Gold Coast. At least it used to be by the rich folk from greater Chicagoland.

The Gold Coast is the area around Sleeping Bear Dunes, which is what some of you dumbfuks consider "Up North". There is no gold Up North...just copper, iron ore, and pasties.

Not much different from Mt Pleasant and Alma.

Are the tools willing to claim CMU is up north?

Alma is south of CMU and not that far south of Clare

After looking it up, it turns out the entire 300 miles of Lake Michigan coastline is called the Gold Coast.

Whatever you read was written by idiots. The south end of the Gold Coast starts at Ludington.

No. Just not willing to accept the oven-blown claims of dumbass westies, and now apparently some dumbass mid-staters.

No offense, Bob.

Got an alert of a flash flood warning on my phone. Weird. It's rained here a couple times today, both very light and brief.

If there is no gold, can you explain why there are gold mines in the UP? There was the old Ropes mine, and the current, or soon to be current, Back Forty mine.

...and just found this...

"Make no mistake, finding gold was also one of the objectives of the earliest European explorers, but the native Indians knew nothing of the yellow metal. The explorers soon turned their attention to the abundant copper and iron deposits. Small amounts of gold were eventually found as early as 1845, but it was not until the opening of the Ropes Gold Mine in the early 1880's that gold mining jumped into Michigan’s history. The Ropes mine ran for 14 years and produced $645,792 in gold and silver, but was never able to pay a dividend to its stockholders.
In the years following the establishment of this first mine, more than 75 other gold mines and prospects were begun in the Upper Peninsula. Some, such as the Lake Superior and Michigan mines, produced spectacularly rich specimens of gold-bearing quartz. Other prospects consisted of only a few trenches and pits, producing no more than traces of the precious metal. Most prospecting had ceased by the early 1900s, but the Great Depression and the increase in the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 per ounce brought about another prospecting boom in the 1930's. World War II called a halt to gold mining, with the prospects lying idle until the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971 and the resultant dramatic rise in the price of gold. Improved metallurgical methods and higher gold prices in the 1970's and 1980's attracted a $20 million redevelopment project to the Ropes mine, which again began producing gold in the fall of 1985. The reopened mine produced until 1989, when a combination of low gold prices, poor ore grade and a collapse of rock in the production shaft prompted its shutdown."

Nice read thank you

Much cooler and drier this morning.. back from a workout, watching le Tour.

Little chilly this morning....

Power just went out here. Hoping it's just DTE cycling it off and on.

Lovely evening in East Lansing (if it has to be summer). 50's tonight..

Gonna hot again next. Not happy.

Called DTE. Their estimate is power won't be back until 10pm.

Nothing else to do so minus well cut the grass.

Hasn't rained here in a couple weeks. We could use some. Barely a breeze today. Sub is all underground utilities.

Something must have fried or someone hit a pole on one of the main roads.

That sucks.
