Here is a tricky question: In the photo coming into Bruce Crossing, which direction is the car traveling?

Good morning from Wells, Brrrrr -8

Good Morning!!

The car is traveling east on M-28.

How about south on 45.

Good Morning! The car is traveling north on US 41?

How about West??

Hey RD, aren't you the one who suggested last week that we fine people for wrong answers? Pay up, buddy. How about $5 for Little Brothers?

Southbound on 41?

The car is traveling toward the street light and the stop signs to get some gas.

north on 45?

Actually, it is NE on US 41.

Way ta go Capt!

Just to let everybody know- my sweetie posted that other posting. He is still getting use to the computer.

Umm, Charlie, I don't think that was M-28. It is actually M-26 or US 41, and, according to Google maps, the direction is NE, which was the tricky part of the question! :-)

Umm Marianne, neither of those roads go through Bruce Crossing!!!!! ;-)

The only main highways that go through Bruce Crossing are US-45 and M-28.......

We have stayed at that motel a couple of times. And, it's directory address is US 41. It is just north of Calumet. :-)

Settler's Co-op in Bruce Crossing is on the north-east corner of the intersection. The photo shows it on the left, beyond the stop sign. The only place you would see it like this would be traveling EAST.

Marianne, Bruce Crossing is south of Calumet, quite a ways.

Ok, either there are two Northgate Motels, that look alike, or that is NE on US 41, because it is just north of Calumet.
Northgate Motel
Category: Hotels/Motels
Address: 57900 US Highway 41, Calumet, MI
Phone: 906-337-1000, 800-373-7703

Bruce Crossing is many miles SOUTH of Houghton. Calumet is many miles NORTH of Houghton.

Who would you notify that the liftbridge-cam is stuck on 1-23-09?

I'm sorry, you all. I misread the question, so I answered the wrong question. I should have had some tea, first, I guess. For some reason, I thought Charlie was asking about the motel, which in itself would have been a trick question. Sorry guys! :-) I hope you all have a good day!

And if you do the trek by snowmobile, Bruce Crossing is many, many, many, miles south from Houghton, and Calumet is many, many, many miles north of Houghton! Takes a good part of a day, but worth every bit of it!

Oh my gosh! Coming into Bruce Crossing is the most welcome sight ever, well, with the exception of entering Ironwood. But once we hit Bruce Crossing, we know we're almost there. We always have to stop at the store for food or just something to drink.

Good morning all. There are some great pictures this morning. Snowy trails is awesome, along with Tahquamenon Falls. Ice jam is cool also.

Thanks for all the great shots today. Have a good one.

I know you can get a good wood/sauna stove in Bruce Crossing.

Who is Bruce?

What is Bruce crossing and to get to what, the gas station?

Bruce Crossing is a town on our way home to Lake Linden. For some reason, once we get there, we feel it's all downhill from there. It's on M-28, and we turn on 45 to get "home".

I think I figured out who Bruce is. (It's a slow day at work.)

One tourist asked what a Bruce was?? He said he saw Moose Crossing signs, Cattle Crossing signs, and several Deer Crossing signs on U.P. roads. When he came across the Bruce Crossing sign he wondered what they were????

I know a Bruce that crossed there a coupla times.

Excellent wood stoves built in Bruce Crossing; I have been heating my house with one for the last 20 years, www.nippa.com/

More info on 'Ruce's 'Rossing may be found in Hunt's Guide to Michigan's Upper Peninsula: Bruce Crossing.

From that Nippa website:
On December 20, 2005, NIPPAź Sauna Stoves of Beulah, Michigan purchased the Nippa stove line from Bruce Enterprises of Bruce Crossing, Michigan. The complete NIPPAź line will now be manufactured by NIPPAź Sauna Stoves in our Beulah, Michigan location. NIPPAź Sauna Stoves assumes no liability for stoves manufactured by Bruce Enterprises, or any stoves manufactured prior to 12/20/2005.

Ruses Rossing -- dats not too far from Rout Rick, hey?

Bob Jewell, Farmington Hills (Rjewell):

Ooops, I guess I hadn't noticed the part about "… purchased the Nippa stove line from Bruce Enterprises …"

The way that's worded kinda suggests that the company is no longer in the family.

Somehow I don't think that's the whole story …

"NIPPAź Sauna Stoves assumes no liability for stoves manufactured by Bruce Enterprises, or any stoves manufactured prior to 12/20/2005.

I can understand the part about "manufactured prior to 12/20/2005"; presumably that's when the present owners bought the business, but I have to wonder if Bruce Enterprises is still making stoves at all; if not, then why would there be a need for the disclaimer about "assumes no liability for stoves manufactured by Bruce Enterprises"?

Judging from these fine Winter Memory Lane pics, President Andrew Jackson picked a Winter Wonderland day 2 make Michigan a state on this date in 1837. Happy Birthday, Michigan.

Newbie here, only Bruce I know is Bruce Willis. Just kidding Yoopers! Know a lot of people that go to the bowling alley in that town.

FRNash, you need to chill out Dude!

FJL, not too proud of your posts. Shouldn't this forum be for fun????

Heidi (Germangirl):
"Newbie here"…
Obviously. Newbie with "attitude"?

1. "FRNash, you need to chill out Dude!"
Now what's with that?
2. "FJL, not too proud of your posts."
Ditto, I don't even see any posts by FJL on this page!

Heidi, Mr. Nash is cool. I enjoy his post, and when I make a mistaek he will catch it and correct it for me. Thanks for being there Frank.

My apologies FRNash. Guess I shouldn't base my opinions on previous pages.

Let me start all over again, without an attitude.

Newbie here, Mikie, you made a "mistaek". :)

FRNash and Mikie, AMEN!!! I also looked for a post from FJL and couldn't find one. Whatever, eh? Hey Mikie, you spelled mistaek wrong, lolol!!

Least it wasn't a "misteak", otherwise I'd tell the chef to cook it right next time......

Heidi (Germangirl):
"My apologies … Let me start all over again …""
If you put it that way, all I can say is "Welcome aboard!"

I agree with Mr. Nash, welcome aboard.

FRNash & Mikie, thank you for the welcome. Again, my most sincere apologies. I underestimated some of the fine qualities you both have.

Guten Tag Gentlemen! :)

What, no apology to FJL!!

FJL, ach der lieber! I've been busy eating crow. You, also have my most sincere apology. I came on this site with an attitude from just reading posts. I neglected to form my own opinion. This is proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks, in fact, you can make this old dog shake hands, roll over and "play ball". :)
