1. Oddly enough, no such "River Flood Watch" appears on the Marquette, MI NWS web site, nor on any other weather service that I have checked.
2. Where in or near Houghton County is there a "Beard River" that this might refer to? I am unaware of any such river. (Or am I losing my marbles? <weak grin> )

Doesn't the Beard River flow out of Chin Lake? I've heard there is great fishing near the mouth as well......

Good Morning. Nice pictures this morning. I especially love the snowy Mackinac Straits/Bridge and the snowy log cabins photos.
FR Nash, when I read that flood watch, I was wondering where the Beard River is, too.

Ya had me goin, Capt. I did a Google map search for Chin Lake and came up with more Chins than a Chinese phone book.
