Last Wednesday would start off with a 2,700-yard swim at MTU. I would then put in a request for a MTU student group to help with the Chassell Trails on October 25th during Make a Difference Day.
I would drive down to L’Anse that afternoon in advance of a 5:30 meeting regarding a 501c(3) to be developed to oversee the care of trails in Baraga County. I left myself enough time to squeeze in some salmon fishing on the scenic Falls River. I would not be disappointed as I would catch one on about my fourth cast.

The meeting at the Baraga County Chamber of Commerce was well attended. I had the opportunity to share many lessons learned through my experiences with both the Hancock Trails Club and the Chassell Recreation Club.
On Thursday morning, the Recreation Committee of the Planning Commission would meet to review engineering proposals for the Pike River rail-trail bridge decking/railing project. After I returned from that meeting, Julie and I would turn over the cabin, and I would also cut grass and replenish the sauna and fire pit firewood supply. That evening we would have dinner with our friends Steve and Lisa who were in town for the weekend.
Friday morning, I would run our newer truck up to Garnet Garage for a thermostat replacement and during the noon hour I would meet with representatives of the Keweenaw Young Professionals at the Prickly Pine to discuss partnership on the upcoming remote worker networking event at the Troemner Farm. After wrapping up that meeting, Julie and I would go for a drive to Freda which would take us through the 3-mile long Covered Drive outside of Atlantic Mine. We would enjoy beautiful peak color conditions!
Upon reaching Freda on Lake Superior, we would explore the ruins of the Champion Stamp Mill. This mill operated from 1903 to 1967, employing 150 workers, to process refined copper ore with a daily capacity of 3,500 tons from the Champion Mine in Painesdale. The refined ore from the mill was then sent by rail to the Michigan Smelter at Coles Creek.

Just loved the video and the photos. Did you shoot the photos with a second camera or did you "extract" them from your GoPro?
