Need to clarify that Thunder Bay is in Lake Huron for those not familiar with the Great Lakes.

My wife is from WA and could not believe how vast they were when she first saw them. The perception of lakes is that you can see across the otherside and that the Great Lakes are not in reality inland seas. And a side note, Superior is my favorite. It has the best storms. Lived 2 years on its shores in Marquette.

I remember driving into Marquette one July 4th -- in a sleet storm.

Great weather you've got up there...

This is great; love seeing the baskets and the wheelbarrow. Cannot miss that this is sacred space.

Yes, I noticed that. I guess the typesetter just couldn’t stir himself to write 1898.

The Indians have a lot of superstitions about Superior. It definitely has some unique properties and is a neat place to visit.

It's amazing the condition such an old ship is in. Beautiful pics at the site.

There is something beautiful about wooden ships that can never be replicated in steel.
