Life UP on the Tundra

CALUMET - A beaver cut through a fiber optic cable 2 miles south of Calumet, causing 911 service outage today in northern Houghton County and all of Keweenaw County, along with additional problems for AT&T landline customers in the 337 and 289 prefix telephone exchanges.


Article in The Daily Mining Gazette.


Same thing happened a couple of years ago.

  2. The University of Maine in Farmington's mascot is the beaver - The college is predominantly female, but I don't think one of them did it.

  3. Have you ever been up to the north end of US 41 in the Keewenah Peninsula? Awesome is an understatement - Yes, we had parkas on in August.
    That was while I was at the SAC base at KI Sawyer just south of Marquette.
    Winter?
    Burrrrr....
