Our final day on the Lake Superior Diver dawned early. We left Windigo and had a five hour or so ride down the northwestern side of the island to the southern edge where we were scheduled to do two dives on the Chisholm engine.

By the end of the week, what once starts out as a a fun way to wake up quickly becomes the worst way ever. Ok, perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration. Then again, I'm not the world's biggest morning person. Actually, I'm not a morning person at all. Some say I am downright grumpy...

However, running a few errands to grab...
Read MoreAfter we left Houghton, we headed on to the Porcupine Mountains for a couple of days. On our way, we stopped at the Adventure Mining Company in Greenland, MI. They also do mine tours, but there are much more rugged than those offered at the Quincy mine. The mines haven't been electrified at all, so ...
