Yeah, I'll be there.

(45,274 posts)3. It's just a place name from the Ojibwe language.
I never got a straight story on exactly what it means, something to do with fish jumping on a lake surface (Lake Gogebic). The Gogebic Range is an old iron range in MI's UP & northern WI that was first mined in the 19th Century.
