November in the Sault

Closed for the Season

Many places in the Upper Peninsula do close for the winter for one of two reasons. Either the upcoming weather will make the activities impossible such as Four Mile Beach shown in the above photo. Or there may not be enough customers to sustain the business when people tend to travel less.

There is lots going on in the Sault however. The Locks are still in operation. The Pullar has a new sign, shown here, and there is lots of hockey there as well as at LSSU.

I attended a lecture last Friday at the Chippewa County Historical Society. Dr. Karl Hele from Sault, Ontario told us about the early church missions here and especially the work of Charlotte Johnston McMurray. Charlotte, daughter of John & Susan Johnston, is not as well-known as her older sister Jane Schoolcraft, but she was equally as gifted and used her gifts to minister in the Anglican Church.

There are several annual crafts shows going on, including Pickford this weekend. I'm not much for that as I'm trying to downsize my belongings to fit into my little cabin on the river full-time. It will be quite a big job since my home nowo has 4 bedrooms and many rooms full of my 'stuff.'

This was the view on Scenic Drive yesterday. There is such beauty in winter. The first two pictures were taken last Thursday and this snow-globe scene was just taken 6 days later.
