At the end of our trip we will come to Houghton on the Ranger III. We do this to make some simple comparisons between Isle Royale and the much more extensive, but less well-exposed Keweenaw geology. Because there are so many more people and so much more infrastructure the geology is extensively interpreted and we can look at it efficiently.
What we will do on one afternoon/evening and one full day are already covered in existing websites:
-
1.Keweenaw Boulder Garden-- a new geointerpretation experiment
-
2.A E Seaman Mineralogical Museum--the best mineral exhibit in the Great Lakes Region
-
3.Houghton City Geo/Bike Walk--a way to reach geeks with smart phones and teach them earth science
-
4.A one day Keweenaw field trip--to be revised especially for our 2013 group
-
5.Geopark in the Keweenaw---our long term goal---help us!
We will do some of 1-4 above and talk about 5. We are happy you will join us. Please send feedback, and we will revise and maintain this site.
