Yesterday Cassie and I went up Sugarloaf mountain, which is a little outside Marquette. Cassie insists it's not a mountain, but she grew up in Colorado. It only takes about a half hour to walk up to the top. Here's a veiw of Lake Superior and the shoreline



Here's a view of the city of Marquette. I know, it looks like there's nothing there. The two chimneys to the left are the Presque Isle power station. Almost in the center is the Superior Dome, the largest wooden dome in the world (there's a Japanese dome that claims the title as well, but the S.D. is larger by 3 cubic feet.), part of Northern Michigan University, and to the right of that is Marquette General Hospital, but most of the city is invisible.



This is the monument at the top of Sugarloaf, which was actually made by my great-grandfather. The stones were brought up by Boy Scout Troop 1, and he did the masonry. It was built in memorial of the troop scoutmaster, who was killed in France in 1918.



And here's Cassie and I I'm wearing my green PK, I don't think I'll ever go on any hike, even one as short as this, wearing trousers if I can help it.



Cheers,
Nick
