Day 3 Leg 1 - Figure 8 ATL The first choice of the day hits you immediately. You can take either Route 41 west over to L'Anse, stopping at Lake Michigamme along the way, or you can take the road less traveled through Big Bay. We've never taken the road through Big Bay, so what to expect is completely unknown....wow, that sounds tempting, doesn't it. |

| At Houghton/Hancock, now about
11:00AM, rather than 5:00PM on a standard ATL, you've got another choice. You can
spend upwards of 3-4 hours exploring the Copper Harbor
peninsula, before continuing west. Keep in mind that if you're exploring, you
still need to leave yourself a minimum of 4 hours to cover the 220 miles from Houghton to
Superior, WI today. Don't forget about the Porcupine Mountains on leg 2 today.... |
