Michigan Tech is offering a unique day trip to view and discuss Keweenaw Bay’s gorgeous Sandstone Cliffs on July 29. The trip is led by Bill Rose and also features Jacobsville expert, Jorma Kalliokoski, who has done extensive research on the Jacobsville rocks. Participants will visit cliffs of Jacobsville along Point Louis, Traverse Bay, Rabbit Bay and Jacobsville lower entry via the RV Agassiz. Participants will also visit the artist colony on Rabbit Bay (Traverse Island and Point Abbaye, the site of the most recent Keweenaw Land Trust Conservation site). The site of a shipwreck at the lower Entry will be investigated with an underwater probe from the Agassiz. Finally the trip will visit Jacobsville and discuss the Jacobsville history (an important Quarry town).
The trip offers rare scenic views of the Jacobsville Cliffs, which are difficult to see from land. The trip costs $145 per person, including ground and boat transportation and lunch. Details can be found online.
