I’ve probably been to various places around Lake Superior at least two dozen times in my life.

I can’t ever remember a time when I looked out across the lake and didn’t get an eerie sense of foreboding.

Maybe if you'd look out across Lake Erie, you'd get a sense of superiority.

That happened to me the two times I went to San Francisco.

Lake Superior, in my limited experience of paddling around in a canoe, is very clear and has a sandy bottom.

In good weather it’s beautiful.

Gitchee Gumee was feared long before any European laid eyes on it. The last of the Great Lakes to be formed as the glaciers retreated, it still feeds the aquifers that form the Mississippi River.

I have seen 12 foot waves on that lake. Turns out they get a lot higher than that-
