We have been busy this week with over 250 students from Houghton and Hancock Elementary as well as students from Copper Island Academy. All the groups chose to participate in our Delaware MIne Match program making donations to 31 Backpacks and Simple Kindness for Youth. It is great to see young kids learning about giving back and helping others.

Sunshine and warmer weather finally found us and it is a great day for a drive up the Keweenaw. If you make the trip think of stopping in Calumet for some home made fudge at Copper World. If your more an ice cream fan visit the folks at Sundae in the Park in Mohawk. Carmel Explosion and anything chocolate fudge are my favorites.

Well the best of plans don't always work out. We had all hands on deck trying to get things open but Mother Nature had her own idea. We still have snow and ice up here and cant safely open the mine so we have to wait till next Saturday the 16th.

Sorry to anyone who had planned on stopping by but safety comes first. We have added a lot of items to the gift shop so when you come by let us know your thoughts.

See you next weekend

We finally made it back to the UP and another season here at the Delaware. We are hoping to open by Mothers Day but we still have some snow to dig out from. The winter was rough with over 300" of snow. We actually had to have folks shovel off the roofs because they were starting to bow.

We are going to put together a web page showing all that happened so keep an eye open for that.

We are grateful for the amazing support from everyone! A big thank you to all who contributed to the Indiana Skunk Rescue. Together, we raised over $1,150 to help Oreo, Snickers, and their fellow skunks. Check out the full story here:

We recently received a thank you card from our friends at the Indiana Skunk Rescue. They wanted to thank EVERYONE who helped support Oreo, Snickers and the other skunks at the rescue. Through the profits from the sales of over 200 pet skunks to the donations made in the box together we raised over $...

It is hard to believe that after 154 days we only have 2 left. We want to thank all of you who have visited and helped create an awesome season. We are thankful for the support from our community and those who have visited from all over the world.

We were not sure what we were getting into when we picked up the reins to this site but we have been blessed along the way by all of you. We are looking forward to a break, especially Laurie who was up here all season. I am already looking forward to what we can do next season and how we can continue to improve on Tom's vision.

If your up this way over the next few days we hope you get a chance to stop by for a final visit. If we don't see you we hope you have a safe and blessed winter and look forward to seeing you all in the spring
