Gay Bar - Stamping Mill Ruins

I found something more interesting in Gay than the Gay Bar. If you look north from the Gay Bar, you'll see a giant smokestack a couple blocks away. It's part of an extensive ruin of an old stamping mill (where they crushed iron ore for shipping). It was pretty big. Behind the ruins are miles of red dunes (they just dumped the waste into the lake). It's now being mined for road construction. That's why the roads in the U.P. have a pinkish tinge.
