welcome to the callenharty.com upper peninsula trip day one page

On day one of the trip we crossed the border from Wisconsin into Gogebic County, Michigan. We made few stops, but did take the time to check out the Porcupine Mountains before heading onto our first night's stay at Calumet. We found Calumet to be a delightful city in every way.
