Copper Harbor Lighthouse, Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula

            The Copper Harbor Lighthouse is in a tricky spot - the road in is private and unplowed in winter, and the only way to visit in the summer is by kayak or to pay for a boat tour.  This winter has been so cold that the harbor has frozen completely over, allowing me to hike the half mile out to the point to take a look around.  The lighthouse was constructed in 1866 to guide in ships picking up and dropping off supplies for the local copper mines.  It served its purpose until being replaced by the adjacent tower in 1933.  It is now a part of the Fort Wilkins State Park.
