What to do when the wind is fierce in the Keweenaw? Hop in your vehicle, pick up a friend and head north to the shores of Lake Superior. There’s ice out quite a ways now, so Cathy McKenzie and her friend Marcy didn’t experience any big waves up close on their adventure last week, but they did find a smattering of blue ice by Esrey Park (if this shot looks familiar, that’s because it’s almost identical to the top photo from January 28th, by E. Neil Harri) If the ladies had brought lunch, they could have brushed off the picnic table in the fourth photo and enjoyed a chilly meal. Cathy related that there were some heavy snow squalls along the way and they managed to get stuck in an unplowed lot in Copper Harbor, but despite that little mishap, they had a fun afternoon enjoying the beautiful sights of the Keweenaw.

Today’s video compilation comes from Don Afman (a.k.a. D.A. (Midwested). He says it’s hot off his editor program, featuring a rare sunny day last week from the webcam at Sunset Bay Campground. He sped it up a bit and added a soundtrack to accompany the setting sun and blowing snow.

Super pix, Cathy! I admire your spunk.
And I was anticipating a BBQ.
D.A….thank you for that great video!

And on a side; Let’s keep Chuck Paulson
(Uncle Chuck) in our positive thoughts
and prayers regarding his foot surgery
today. “You go, boy!”

Definitely, Alex. Please pray for Uncle Chuck, his medical team, a good outcome and a speedy recovery. AMEN

Amen..big prayers for Unk Chuck! We need you back
here...so git er done, and come back soon!

GREAT pics...and Sunset Bay has a webcam out
there...and this video is so outstanding! SO WELL
DONE Don!

WAAAAAY back in the day, you used to be able to go
there, stick a couple of bucks in a slit in a
little tin building, and walk down the path to
pick agates all day long...I spent many, many days
there...but the gent that owned it passed, and the
property got split up and sold off...it's all "NO
TRESPASSING" now...and it was serious
agates...mounds and mounds of rock...Such a loss
to us ag-nuts. lol

Nice Pic, Cathy. Love them all.
And blue ice is so cool looking.
D.A. I so loved that video. It was
great! Thanks for sharing that
with us.

Praying for UC and his surgical
team. And praying that this comes
to a finish for him, sooner rather
than later. It's been a long road
for him and Vicki. Take care, UC.
We gotcha.

Uncle Chuck,sending healing thoughts to you. Hoping
this is just a short down time for you.

Many well wishes to Uncle Chuck for great outcome and a speedy recovery.

Looks like pretty nice yet still crisp, and sunny weather for Winter Carnival.
