Re: My list of Weather Buoys & WebCams
Thanks for posting the Space Weather Prediction Center main page. On that page, under the “dashboards “ link, there’s the Space Weather Enthusiasts Dashboard which is my go-to page. NOAA set that up a couple years back to put a lot of info that casual skywatchers would want, in one spot. Check it ou...

Re: First timer looking for feedback
If the hike you want is end to end, then the route you have described will work for you. If it were me, I would shoot for S. Desor-Hatchet-W.Chickenbone for the first three nights, then decide en route which route in to Rock Harbor based on how you’re doing physically and whether you are enjoying th...

There is also a webcam, I think it’s on Michigan Tech’s website, that you can follow the Ranger III ferry dock activity and the arrival/departures in Houghton.

Re: Aurora Borealis
It is also possible that your eyes need to be trained to what unfiltered, unphotographed auroras can look like. As an amateur astronomer, I have been astonished by how much I have learned to see! Sometimes auroras are just a faint glow at the northern horizon, sometimes they look like searchlights, ...

If skies are clear, the Northern Lights are really putting on a show tonight! I’ve seen reports from as far south as Nashville!

Re: Big news for grand portage outbound ferries...
Nick, thanks for the update. This year’s trip, for me, comes from Houghton. Hopefully by next year the Voyageur dock will be in great new shape!

Re: Where was I?

Re: Where was I?
On the bridge of the IR Queen? I don’t recognize the prow, and for sure it’s not the Ranger or the Voyageur.

Re: Cross country camping between Mt. Franklin and Mt. Ojibway

Re: Campsite Name & Access
Yes, and Lane Cove is also used by kayakers and canoeists. Expect to share campsites.
