Champion Mine So here we are at another Keweenaw copper mine; this is Painesdale, Michigan in the autumn of 1990. Back when I was an active rail fan, I'd attend the annual get togethers of the South Shore Special Interest Group of the Soo Line Historical and Technical Society. On this trip I was accompanied by my brother and my sister, though in other years I went alone. Over the course of the weekend we visited several locations in Houghton and Keweenaw Counties. I got some good pictures, we heard some interesting talks, and in general had a good time. And never in my life have I seen such vivid fall colors. Only <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jowo/54073579252/">last autumn's trip to East Jordan</a> rivals it. Photo taken with a Minolta point and shoot and scanned from a Kodak Gold 100 negative.
