Through The River We Go | Camping With Dogs

Well, good wonderful beautiful morning Pawdience. Jamie's trying to clean up some sand out of the camper here and Kira's helping. I don't know if that's a help. Maybe. Go keep doing that. That's the direction. No, that's not. She's like, I'll pull it this way and then you fling it the other way. Let go my broom. She's never seen a broom before. I can't do anything. She's like, no, I love this thing. I guess it'll be like speed sweeping. Oh, you got a big chunk of it down. Oh, I never had a broom before. Your broom is pretty new. It's still pretty gross though. She's like, I don't care. This is great. I love it. Memphis. Memphis is scratching her foot. Are you scratching your foot? Memphis, hey. Get the scratches for you. Good morning. She's like, good morning guys. Good morning. Oh hush. Be good. Alright, we have packed up some lunch for today. We're kind of doing a day trip today. So I brought the dogs their lunch. I packed some stuff in the cooler for Jamie and I. And we're going to go out and hit the road today. Look at the lake this morning. I took the dogs for their walk this morning. And I didn't grab the camera and I should have. Because it was foggy and it was eerie looking. Thankfully most of the fog has lifted. The trees are not as colored here as I really thought they would be. But usually by the lake they're not as colored. What? Are you ready? We're almost ready. We're getting there. Okay guys, this is our first stop. It's the cliff mine area. If you want to read some information on it, pause the video and go ahead and read the sign. It's pretty interesting. And this area where we're at is just beautiful. You see the cliffs up there? And the colored trees of course. Alright you guys, so I have video of this from ten years ago Jamie. Ten years ago since we've done this. We were here last year with Charles but the water was way too high and we couldn't actually make it across. I would say, I don't even think last year that this post on the side were in the water. Oh yeah, they were. Were they? Yep, I can show you. Ten years ago were they? I don't know if they were ten years ago but they were last year. I have pictures of it. So Cliff Mine Cemetery is across this little bit of water. So we're going. It's all hard gravel. Hopefully. Oh it is. Right here. Not over there. Right there looks kind of swampy. Alright, let's go. I don't know how deep it is. We don't know how deep it is. And we're going. There's fish in the water. Little baby fish. This is where it starts to get deep. I was going to say, as long as you keep moving, we're good. There's a big rock. That's so cool. Boarding the river. Jeep life, baby. Jeep life. So we crossed the river. And now we're going down this trail apparently. We don't know where it goes but we're going to go this way for a little bit. See what we can find. So if we had a four-wheeler we could make it. But we can't make it in this. Yep, I'm going to say that's a no a go. We might be able to turn around. There's a big rock next to us too so we might have to back out. We don't know. I think I'll probably just end up backing up. The trail keeps going but we can't keep going that way. Maybe we'll walk it. Hi. So this is the cliff mine area. What you guys can see here is all of the rock that they took out of this mountain I guess. I guess it's a mountain. It's a cliff. So from the sign back there where they were saying where they mined this is where they mined and all of this rock came out of the inside of that cliff. It's pretty neat. We're not going to walk up there. We have before but we're not going to do that today. And if I'm not mistaken there's another cliff half that size further up. But you can't see it because this cliff is so big. Yeah, I think you're right. Pretty cool. There's a lot of mines up here. This is one of the cool ones I always like to stop by. So we're on the side of the road. There's a little pull off and I can see through the trees and we decided to pull over. I don't think we've ever stopped here. I don't think we've stopped at this point. It's a lot like the waterfall up the road a little bit. But we can get closer here. The roots here are really cool. I'm like we gotta go check this out. This is so neat. Look there's a little pool here. Want to drink a river water? There's a little pool over here. Come get a drink of your river water. Whoa down here. Down there. There you go. Well that wasn't the plan but okay. I got a plan. We made it. I couldn't film while doing it because I didn't want to fall. We just went across that. Look now you can actually get to the water. Whoa guys. Check this out. This is so fun. Watch yourself. You'll fall in. It's deeper than you think. Just like whoa. This is fun. What do you think Miss Memphis? Wow this is really pretty right here. I'm going to have to take some pictures. What do you smell huh? Oh you're eating the grass. You too huh? Alright let's figure out how to get back over there. I see that. Like they took cores out. It could be that or they planned on breaking it or maybe there was a bridge across here at one time. Maybe. I don't know. But you're probably right. It looks like they took cores out of that. I don't know. That is weird. Let's go. So this here is Jacob Falls and it's right along the side of the road. Right up the road from here is the Jam Pot. This is a very pretty waterfall. It's right on the side of the road. You can actually walk up and there's like more waterfall up there but right here is about perfect. I didn't get the dogs out for this one. Just wanted to enjoy it. So we have made it to Lake Fanny Ho. This is Lake Fanny Ho. I wasn't sure if this was an inlet to the big lake or not. Nope. This is Lake Fanny Ho. And we're at Fort Wilkins. So we're up here in Copper Harbor and this is the historic Fort Wilkins site. We're wandering around with the dogs and realizing it's a lot warmer than we thought it was going to be today. Only in the sun. Yeah. Come on. Let's get moving and see some stuff. So each of these buildings is set up just like they used to be. Dogs are not allowed in. You're not allowed in the buildings. Sorry. Not allowed in the buildings. So we thought we'd kind of peek in here and check out some of the historic stuff in here. I like the playing cards and the checkers on the table. Old dominoes. Look at those beds. Can you imagine sleeping on those beds? Does not look comfy. You are so interested in the smells in here. Hey. Hey. Alright. Dogs out of the building. So this is inside of another one of the buildings. Jamie's outside with the dogs since they're not allowed in here. I thought I would show you this. This room is cool. So if you get... Oh, look at this. All the tools. These were tools they used to fix wounds. That's some scary stuff. As always you guys if you want to read the signs, I'll try to hold this still for a second and you can pause it and read it. This was like the hospital I guess. Where people stayed when they had injuries and stuff. Look at these beds. I can't get over how tiny they are. The ward room. That's what this is. Outbreak. The first cases of... Oh wow. That's pretty cool. I always like old stuff like this. Meet the doctors. Pretty neat, huh? And then they got more stuff in here. So this was the hospital. The post hospital. Pretty neat. Alright. Where's my dogs? There they are. So I guess this is the store. I'm going inside. Oh yeah. That's cool. Check that out. There's where you can get your whiskey. That's pretty neat. Neats hanging. They're not real. They're fake. But you know. That's pretty cool. Barrels of apples. Yeah. That's a pretty cool building. Yeah. It says here that he was notably well supplied. And army officer noted not only of the necessities but the luxuries too. Yeah. There's some neat stuff in there. He brought up a bunch of stuff. Look at the old bins. They used to come up and create. They're in there if you want to go see them. Kind of neat. Alright. Let's keep on trucking. Can you play the drums? We'll push that in a minute. This is like a little set up of what the whole place looked like. That's pretty cool. See all the little houses. The blacksmith shops. Guarding the fort. Getting supplies. Alright. Which one do we want? Let's do the dinner call. That's pretty cool. Are you ready for dinner? That's the dinner call. There's a breakfast call too. They all sound the same to me. Alright. Get out of the building. So this is the hottest place in town. The blacksmith shop. They would use hot coals over there. There's the anvil. Look at that vise. I think every year they have a bunch of people come recreate the whole fort. They do demonstrations up here. I'm pretty sure we saw somebody working here. Is that a bear trap? That's crazy. That's pretty neat. We might have seen somebody working here before. There's a grinding wheel over here. Alright. Okay Puppers. Ready to go get bounced down the road? Look at the fence on the side here. The big points on the top of it. You're not jumping napkins without impaling yourself. Alright Puppers. Let's go. I don't know if you guys can see it. You can definitely tell it's water there. This is a mine shaft. They actually found copper out here. That's pretty neat. Are you going to find some copper for me Puppers? I found a copper coin with a wolf on it. I was all excited. Alright. Here's the sign. Copper discovered here in 1844. I don't know if you can see the quartz in this rock. That's part of the natural rock here. That's so cool. Alright. Back to the car. Old Dog Vlogs
