Copper Country Fun

Every now and then, I like to check out the newspapers for the two Upper Michigan towns where I grew up: the Daily Globe of Ironwood and the Daily Mining Gazette of Houghton/Hancock. Today's papers feature these reminders as to why the U.P. just ain't for everyone:

Boy dies in tubing accident
A Green Bay, Wis., boy died and his mother was injured when the tubes they were sledding on crashed into Caribou Lodge at Powderhorn Mountain Ski Resort Friday night.

Weekend hunt successful
The Keweenaw Peninsula has 12 less coyotes and one less fox after the first-ever Predator Hunt was held over the weekend. (Note the picture - that's livin'!)

Sigh.
