Friends, That is wonderful news! Until you've visited the Keweenaw you just cannot understand the unique beauty of the region. The Nature Conservancy has done so much to preserve the Keweenaw (more than 11,000 acres) including the icing on the cake, Bete Grise (Locally pronounced Bay 'da Gree). I know of so many people that have worked to preserve these lands, each and every last one of them has my sincerest thanks. I'd like to single-out one of the pit-bulls for a big tip of my hat, Gary Kohs. Again, thank you all. -Tim-
