While everyone in the Keweenaw knows about the historical significance of the copper mines in the area and the way they created a large economy for the Upper Peninsula as a whole. You may not know the more modern history of those long-forgotten mines. After the closure and eventual abandonment of these large underground structures, a new type of business has decided to make its home where no one can see: meth labs.
Due to the difficulty in finding and traversing these abandoned mines, they have become a hot spot for cooking the recreational drug, methamphetamine. The constant temperature and predictable environment of the mines make them a prime spot to do a “cook,” as they say, and considering that no one else would be able to use these vacant areas, it is impressive that these entrepreneurs are able to bring back some life to these economically dead areas.
