#2 of the Nomad 2019 Series.
Copper Chain Facecloth
I chose this name & color to remember the area of the falls on the Black River in the UP of Michigan. This inlet (pictured below) is on the southern border of Lake Superior.
Black River has wonderful calming views on the hiking trail to the beach.
Copper was mined here many years ago. The rocks of the river looks copper not black as the name indicates. But definitely black in many areas.
