The City Built on the Shining Hill (concert band)

I was born, raised, and presently live in, Ishpeming, Michigan (with a few different stops along the way). I suppose most people have warm feelings about their hometown, but I truly think Ishpeming is someplace special. The name Ishpeming comes from the Ojibwe word ishpiming, meaning “above”, “in the air” or “on high,” appropriate given that it lies in elevation above most of the surrounding…

Blog Update: Vacation 2024!

Blog update! No book reviews this week, but I do share a recap of our mini vacation in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula! The kids got to experience #Storheims, too! #Puremichigan #dayooperstouristtrap #presqueislepark #marquette #yooperdome #storheims

Earlier this year, I stopped posting as frequently as I used to on the blog. The reasons were varied: burnout from reading so many ARCs, refocusing on other hobbies besides blogging, some health issues, etc. I don’t have any book reviews this week because I did an amazing thing: I went on a mini vacation with three of my four kids to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It is the first vacation we’ve…

Jan’s Mountain Bike trip to the UP #5 The EPIC Loop, Ishpeming, MI

This trail was a tough one!

At this time, I had already completed 72.71 km (45.18 mi) and climbed 1,017 hm (3,336 ft) on my bike during the last 2 days. My legs were tired. However, I was in the area and who doesn't want to ride a trail which is called "Epic"?!

As nearly all trails, I also found this trail online at AllTrails.com. According to them, the trails is 12.4 mi (19.96 km) long, has 1,476 ft (449 hm) of elevation gain and it takes about 5 h 12 min to complete. When I arrived at the trail head, the map indicated that the trail is 17.6 mi (28.32 km) long and has 1,942 ft (592 hm) of elevation gain. Anyway, I decided to tackle this beast and started.

After 4 h 20 min, several breaks and a shortcut at the end, I arrived back at the parking lot. FINALLY!

According to my GPS tracker, I rode 29.03 km (18 mi) and climbed 814 hm (2670 ft). I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong on that trail. Have you rode the Epic Trail as well? How did it go for you?

"U-boats making noise"

The "hill" job on the Lake Superior & Ishpeming RR is approaching the M-41 overpass with empties in the last light of the day. Up front is U25C 2500 leading a pair of U23C's and they are making a racket as those old U-boats could - September 21, 1984.

The latest trip to the Sunset Valley saw a return of SLSF 12, putting in work and rescuing stalled locomotives. Plus a friendly LS&I 2-8-0 switching Brooklyn.

I also opened by big mouth and have taken the lead on returning one of the original Sunset Valley locomotives to operating condition. Fortunately for me, it's still in decent shape, it just needs an upgrade.

Times When john Philip Sousa Toured Ishpeming, MI

There was a moment in history when people went crazy for Sousa. He, with his professional band, would barnstorm all over the world and everywhere would be met by huge, adoring crowds. Little Ishpeming, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, was even treated to a few visits by the biggest act of the era! Here are some headlines from the local press: March 10, 1906 – Headline from Iron Ore Newspaper: JOHN…
