My dad was born in Lake Linden, a small town located on Keewanaw Peninsula in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Keewanaw is a small sliver of land that juts out into Lake Superior. Houghton and Hancock are the major towns on the Keewanaw. The area was the center of the cooper boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s. My dad loved the UP and spent as much time there as he could. My mom wasn't as enamored with UP, so my dad usually had to come up with some type of side trip that my mother could embrace. This picture was taken in Indian River in the UP. My recollection was that there was a giant freestanding cross that was a religious tourist attraction, which was probably the reason why we were visiting there. I don't know who the people are who are flanking my mother. My Indian headress was temporarily gracing my noggin while my Tiger cap was in the car.
