Ready for some dog sledding? Then you're in for a treat this Friday night when the @CopperDog150 takes off from Calumet. Although you're not likely to find any Saint Bernards pulling the sleds as in these photos, you'll see plenty of good dogs in the 25, 80, and 150 mile races!

Although it's been warm and rainy in the Copper Country lately, soon the slopes of Mont Ripley and the rooftops of the Quincy Smelter will be covered in snow once again, as in this photo from @TheDMG #OTD in 1956.
