The weather started out on the down side Tuesday. I was feeling tired and took an early nap. When I got up I had breakfast and then we prepared for a day out. We went to Walmart, purchased fishing licenses for Jay Jay and I. We bought another fishing pole and went to Teal Lake. Just so happens that this is the start line for the Soft Rock. So I showed Jay Jay the role out start. We fished for a while and Brendan caught a small mouth bass. Jay Jay also caught a small fish.
While we were fishing Michelle and Kayla went to a fruit market and Yooperland.
While they were out they discovered the Jasper Ridge Brewery. So we went to the brewery for supper. They have a very nice (big) menu and the food was good. I would recommend this if you are in the UP.
Michelle had heard about Jaspilite prior to coming to the UP. It is a rare mineral/gem. So we did a little research and located Jasper Knob or Jasper Hill as it is called. Here is a description: A bald-topped hill within the city of Ishpeming composed entirely of jaspilite, or more properly, banded hematite and jasper. To visit the hill, follow the stone steps through the wall and woods opposite the homes on Hill Street, near the intersection of Hill and Jasper streets.
We found the location and hiked to the top. It was really cool and a great view.
We left the hill and had to make another stop at Walmart and then we went home. It was a long day.
The Gem.
