    Alexis St. Martin worked for the American Fur Company on Mackinac Island , Michigan. He was seriously injured by an accidental gunshot and was treated by Dr. Beaumont. St. Martin could no longer work for the fur company so Beaumont hired him as a handyman. The wound to his stomach never healed over so Beaumont began doing experiments on the digestive system by lowering food into St. Martin's stomach. St Martin followed Beaumont to Fort Niagara and later joined him at Fort Crawford. There are many places named after Dr. Beaumont based on his work on the digestive system.

    Hey Russ, thanks for the good video as usual. Interesting isn't it when you add rear view as the van pulls away from the bridge. Here's another thought. Pause @ 1:52 you're making the left turn. You notice some cars to your right. As you make a complete turn, at this point, you can add another rearview - say about four seconds or so, just to take a quick lookback at those cars as you pull further away. This little addition, I think, would also make the video a little more interesting to see. Small stuff that can sometimes make big difference. I wish I had been in the field of movie making business like James Cameron. That would be fun. And again, pause @3:01 you're crossing another little bridge. Two cars are passing by. Here too, at this point, you can add another rear view, 4 or 5 seconds, to see those cars pull further away behind you. Fun to watch really. God bless.

    1:11:25 Sadly the old lighthouse keeper homes were torn down a few months after your visit. They had really deteriorated over the past decade once the windows were broken out. The nearby dock is the Burlington Northern ore dock where ships load taconite pellets for delivery to the steel mills of Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. The Edmund Fitzgerald took on her final load here on November 9, 1975 before setting out on Lake Superior on her final voyage. She sank in a storm on November 10, taking her 29 crew to the bottom with her.

    Hey Russ, happy Sunday! I drove some of this route about a month ago, it's nice to revisit it. "It probably floods down here..." did you notice how many homes along the river are up on stilts?I love walking the main streets of the small towns to check out the different storefronts with their unique window displays. Never made it out to Lake Superior, so it's cool to visit it virtually with you. Until next time, happy trails!

    I like preserved old towns and their pride in sharing their history in museums. I live near one but they seem to feel the need to modernize and it’s sorely lacking in museums. Locks and dams are amazing and opened the Midwest for commerce. Chasing 70° sounds like a great plan. The Duluth Superior region is a favorite of mine. As you pass through the Upper Peninsula, you might want to check out Big Spring. It’s about 6 miles west of Manistique on Highway 2, I think. Thank you for taking us along.

    If you are still in the area you must stop at the Anchor Bar for a bacon cheeseburger and fries. I guarantee you have never been in a bar like that. WOW some of my old stomping grounds. Three decades boater and did many trips on the Mississippi from MN and one trip almost went all the way to Missouri. I also spent a lot of time on Superior boating and diving the shipwrecks of Isle Royale. Many good UA-cam videos on those shipwrecks if anyone is interested. Cold fresh water equals very preserved wrecks. If you are going to follow the south shore I am sure you will stop in Bayfield. Take a tour boat out to the islands. You won't regret it. If you take the ferry over to Madeline Island make sure you check out Tom's burned out café. Sure is different than AZ huh?
