There were many references to the Gay Bar, in Gay, Michigan when we first arrived.  Roger, Christopher, and I finally made the trek to this isolated little town on the Eastern side of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The Gay Bar is NOT like any alternative bar I've ever visited. 

According to Wikepedia:

Gay, is a tiny unincorporated community in Keweenaw County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is 12 miles from Lake Linden on Copper Island at the western end of the Upper Peninsula. Local government is provided by Sherman Township. As of 2000, its population is 60.

 The Mohawk Mining Company built a stamp mill in Gay in 1898. The residual stamp sand dumped into Lake Superior increased the town's area greatly. Today, only the large smokestack and the ruins from the stamp mill still remain. The only remaining business is a bar, which is called The Gay Bar.

Gay is locally celebrated for its annual 4th of July parade. The "Gay Parade" as is it is referred to locally, attracts several times the towns population.

The town was named after its founder, Joseph E. Gay. 

I'm thinkin' the population is probably down by one with this posting . . .
