Today we went to the Iron Mountain Iron Mine Tour. The Mine itself has been closed since the 50s. There's mass amounts of mines in the area. You take an old train cart down into the mine. The temperature is a nice 46 degrees. This tour is $18 for each adult. There's a dollar off coupon on their website. The tour lasts 45-60 minutes and then there's the rock shop. The claim is they're the biggest rock shop in the UP. We spent almost one hour in there. They also have a fill up station from the Mine's artesian well. Filled one of our jugs here. Filled up another jug from Norway spring. 

Headed to the local bike shop to fix my bike. The shop didn't have the right size seat post. It was 4 o'clock so we have to check out the other shop tomorrow. 

Picked 2 more cups of raspberries when we got back to camp. We also went outside for about 20 minutes at 11 as there was a chance to see the northern lights. Didn't see anything and we are not in a very good spot to see this anyway.. We are further north than was optimal and it was cloudy/a lot of tree cover. Next time!
