Winter light: First lit in 1910 and retired by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1969, Minnesota’s Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior is relit a couple of times a year for special occasions. One of those occasions is the memorial for the sinking of the steamer Edmund Fitzgerald on 10 November, 1975. Photo by Steve Simmer.

Split Rock Lighthouse by Anton Yatsyk (2022)

#throwbackthursday to our backpacking trip up the North Shore in 2021.

Droughts in northern Minnesota led to fire bans, trickling waterfalls, and low streams. Shelby our #traildog loves to cool herself off at every water source by plopping down and letting her thick fur sponge up all the cool water.
