Miss Burmeister and I, stayed cool this summer in the Upper Peninsula learning about Michigan history.
In this photo, we are at Cliff’s taconite mine. The underground iron ore mines were in full operation from 1867-1967. The upper peninsula of Michigan is rich with iron ore and the mine location along Lake Superior is the perfect location for shipping the ore to other parts of the country.
We are standing with a group of teachers in front of a huge truck with GIGANTIC tires. Can you find us?
