With the Lake behind me, and my face to the setting sun, this shot from David Woon in the Guest Gallery certainly seemed appropriate. He has a pleasant mix of flowers, rocks, lighthouses and shore in his album. Wonder where this shot was taken? I'm stumped.

I suppose I should catch up my travel diary which was sarted waay back at the end of the winter. Seems light years ago. Good night from the Canadian prairie, and good morning from da U.P.

Great slideshow of David Woon's photo's.
Toivo, what are you doing up so late posting?
Have a safe trip.

I loved the pictures of the sunrise, and my favorite rock photo is the one of shallow water. Lovely!
Drive safely, Toivo...I loved reading your "travel journal" before and look forward to it again!

WOW, you all are early birds. Great pictures. Hunted for agates up at Agate Beach on Sunday. Water very cold!!! Brrrr. No bugs tho. Great day all around.

just got back from 4,500 mile trip from Ohio to U.P.,Minn.,NDak.,SDak.,Devil's Tower,WY.,Iowa, Ill.,and home. Highlights included pasties, smoked fish and homemade jam at a place near Brevort, MI. Will go back again in august for lunch of pasties and to load up on smoked fish to take home. Also will go to Tahquamenon Falls. Bob and Corliss

I know this a little off topic, but does anyone have information on Fourteen MIle Point Lighthouse? Who owns it, can you get to it by truck? I saw an aerial picture of it, and the caption said that it was started on fire in 1984 by vandals. What a waste. Did they ever get caught? Can I get there by snowmobile? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Later, Skylar.

For Skylar: For Lighthouses all over the USA try: www.terrypepper.com. Fourteen Mile Point Light Station is under Lake Superior lights. The pictures show a burned out shell and it is not accessable from land or water. Good Luck!

I swam in Lake Superior at Agate Beach on Sunday and the water felt pretty nice to me! Pretty warm for the big lake I thought.

I swam in superior on sunday too. the water was wonderful. it felt so refreshing.

Bob & Corliss,,, where did you get the smoked fish? Thank's......

Hey I was in the big lake on june 3 2003 and the water was warm that day but the next day you couldn't put your big toe in

It's all about the wind. A breeze out of the north or northwest will blow all the surface water into shore and swimming will be dandy. A day later, with an offshore breeze... the lake will turn over and you'll freeze your Old Testaments. This is just my theory, however, and is unsupported by the meteorological community. Beware the beach flies, and don't tell the tourists that Lake Superior can actually be pleasant this time of year.
