Day 155 Aug 31st

We rode to  the Fayette Historical Townsite today. From 1867 to 1891 the Jackson Iron Company produced charcoal iron for the American steel industry here. It was a company town with 500 residents. It is a Michigan state park now with 20 structures remaining including the furnace complex. 230,000 tons of iron pigs were produced here.
Also stopped by the Superior Dome in Marquette. This is the 5th largest dome in the world and the largest wooden dome in the world. Part of the University of Northern Michigan.
Had a camping rig set up next to us consisting of a 1929 Ford truck pulling a 1929 pop up camper. Very cool.
245 miles traveled today finishing up back in Marquette.
