The left fork leads to a small trailhead on US Hwy #2 to the left of
the distant signs (I camp about 1/4 mile further east off Hwy
#2). The right fork continues on to Ramsey (1 mi) and Wakefield
(2 mi).

The Ramsey, MI, keystone arch bridge is 57 feet above the Black River
and was built in 1891 by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company. The trail crosses on this bridge, the photo was taken
from a nearby highway bridge.

Just in case you thought Bambie was a rare sighting; here's 2 more deer
at the Hurley end of the trail. They're everywhere!

On this 10/03/11 trip I continued west of downtown Hurley about 3 miles
to Montreal, WI. This bridge is the Soo Line crossing
over the CNW. SOO continued west to Mellen, WI, while the CNW
went NW to Ashland, WI.

Today's photo run started at Kmart and headed west. This is
downtown Ironwood with the ex-CNW depot
in the distance. The tan building is the Ironwood Post Office.

The Montreal River is the border with WI on your left and MI on your
right.
There's a Hurley city street under the bridges on the left bank.

Approaching downtown Hurley, WI., we see an ATV coming towards us and
the
Iron Nugget Web Cam on the building at the center power pole).
