You won't believe which of Michigan's Great Lakes hasn't frozen over in nearly 50 years. Those beautiful fresh waters make natural ice sculptures of their own.
After this storm, while perusing the PureUP Facebook group, I came across these beautiful photos from a photographer named Laura Maynard. A Marquette native, she moved to the U.P. from Wisconsin at age 5 and never left.
It is estimated that there are about 550 shipwrecks in Lake Superior, most of which are undiscovered. Well, you can scratch a few more off that list as the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society recently discovered three 1800’s-era shipwrecks in Lake Superior near Grand Marais, Michigan.

I don't know if it's a record year or not but it sure seems like it after so many people have fallen to their death from cliffs in the Upper Peninsula. I seriously can't remember a time when so many people have lost their lives whether on accident or on purpose...
Recently, I had the opportunity to go for a 1000 mile motorcycle ride across Michigan. One of the destinations was a stop at White Fish Point in the UP on Lake Superior. To get there, I had to ride across the Mackinaw Bridge.
