Clue 1

Climb where eagles ride the breeze,
Above the Harbor, through the trees.
A path once tread with berry-stained hands
Still winds its way across the land.
Look for where the pickers strayed -
Their quiet trail has not yet faded.

Clue 2 

Just outside Hancock, not far from town,
Where cattails sway and trails wind down,
A quiet preserve holds sky and stream -
trusted Keweenaw lands, nature’s dream.
Step where wetlands soak the light -
A hidden world, pure and bright.

Clue 3

High on Greeley, where the wild winds fly,
A radar once watched the northern sky.
Now open arms replace the dome—
A mountaintop reclaimed as home.
Come stand where silence meets the blue—
The skies are open. So are you.

Clue 4

Where Jets now fly and classrooms glow,
A deeper tale sleeps down below.
Steel bones and timbers mark the past—
A copper dream both bold and vast.
Saved by hands who knew its worth,
This place still pulses with the earth.
Step near, and feel the stories start—
A buried legacy, kept by heart.
