Last night I went to Copper Harbor (~50 minutes away by car) to watch the fireworks with a few friends, as apparently it’s pretty much the only place in the Keweenaw that does them (Lake Lindon does too). We got up there around 9pm, and wondered around until we found some friends to sit and watch them with (from a great spot too). About 10:30, a dense fog started rolling in, and by 10:45 we could only see about 50 feet away. They finally decided to start shooting them off around 11:15, and this is what we got:
It was a new experience to say the least. Eventually some of the fog was burned off, and they were able to get a few high enough so that we could actually make them out.
Dad, the fireworks in Rose City are better though. Even had I been able to see them all, the show was far shorter than back home.
Kyle, we missed you last night. Although it rained throughout the fireworks, (yes, we all looked like drowned rats) they were spectacular and the show seemed to be longer! Best Ever! The Lion’s Club outdid themselves this year. More close to the ground displays and the variety was fabulous. It was definitely worth sitting in the rain to watch them — wish you could have been home.
Thanks Ky – We try hard to put on a good show. People from downstate keep coming back year after year so we must be doing something right. See you soon
The fireworks were better in Lake Linden: no fog and I got to lay on the beach right underneath them!
