Au Sable Point - Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore - Alger County, Michigan
Welcome to the website of Michigan writer, photographer and videographer, Mikel Classen. Sault Ste. Marie
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. I know I did, spending quality time with family and of course professional football. Thanksgiving would never be the same without a couple of good football games to keep the blood flowing and the Thanksgiving turkey food coma at bay.
Also over this holiday weekend, I have received and signed my first contract for a series of history books about Upper Michigan. The first one, Lake Superior's Au Sable Point, A Most Dangerous Place will be seeing print sometime next year. History Press, the publisher that contacted me, read the articles on this website and has requested books expanding on some of the subjects in the "My Articles" page. We are hoping this will be the first of many, a second one is already in the works. I will talk more on that later. Looks like I will have to take a trip to Munising. Are there any subjects, you as readers would like to see in a book? Leave your answer on my Facebook Page or e-mail me at mclassen@lighthouse.net. I'm very interested in any and all ideas.

Logging the old way. Winter meant frozen water so loggers frequently targeted stands of trees that were difficult to get to in fairer weather because of wetlands and soft, wet soil. The men and horses of the great lumber camps worked from dawn until dusk in the harshest of conditions.
