Piper up by Ars Katharine Piper
The narrator recalls reading about Hiawatha and Lake Superior while touring the Great Lakes region by car. A misadventure near Ironwood Michigan leads to sinking a car on a rocky dirt road, then a rescue via spade and leverage, as well as observations of parks, scenery, and ships on St Marys River. The piece notes the St Lawrence Seaway, Welland Canal issues, and grain shipments through the Duluth entry in 1959, ending with a reflection on miracles.
