MUNISING, MI-- A downstate man landed on the wrong side of the law after he climbed the Miner’s Castle turret at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Tuesday.
Around 12:20 p.m. rangers noticed a man sitting on top of the turret. They say the 30-year-old Auburn Hills man ignored warning signs and jumped a fence to climb the landmark. He promptly got stuck. Members of Alger County Rescue 21 had to rig a rope system to get the man down.
The subject now faces federal violations of trespassing into a closed area, damaging a natural resource, and disorderly conduct-creating a hazardous situation.
