Where on the map? Michigan Highway 01! I love this shot due to the snow. It shows just how hard winter has been. Taken on February 28, 2009 as we headed back to our parked car after the Outhouse Classic. We headed past Holmquist and headed toward Traunik and Eben before taking M-94 home to [...]

I woke with a start at a glimpse of blue sky but by the time Mike and I rolled from bed the clouds had darkened the sky and the wind gusts had triggered warnings for up to 50 mph (Intellicast). You can see the dramatic changes taking place near Thill’s Fish House in Marquette’s Lower [...]

On Wednesday I took the bus! Holy Wah. I left the house and grabbed the “South” bus which headed up into downtown Marquette then I was [...]
