There was a forest watch tower you could climb shortly after the turn off 41 to Lac Labelle.

I looked for it a few years back, but learned it had be removed.

Those were the days.

I climbed the fire tower (road off to the left as you were going down the final hill toward Lac LaBelle) many times. I was sad to see it gone one summer. My dad built the big A-frame on the far side of the lake. The tallest pine trees were (and still are) on that property. Great memories.

Mom’s cousin Pauline is still on the zoning board...

Some of the most happy memories of my life brought back by your post. From London, England to just across from the American side in Canada, I explored the old towns. Central Mine, Red Jacket, Calumet and Laurium. This when I got my first car- a 55 Ford.

Had my daughter who was only six years old when she first went there in the 1970's, drive my wife and self last year. Visited Gay, Michigan and had a beer at the Gay Bar. (Joseph E. Gay founder of the town). Took the cog railway which went 541 feet underground near Hancock and Houghton. At the end a huge stope appeared. I got claustrophobia and had to sing an old hymn on the way back out. Welsh miners used to sing it. Nobody minded. Excuse my ramble
