Chapel Beach

The title of this one should be something like “stay off the damn water.”  Picture taken from Mosquito Chapel Beach in Pictured Rocks which is about 8 miles from where we started the trip.  There was some lightning and we actually did have to stay off the water for a… Continue reading

Skillagalee Island

A special picture from an abandoned Skillagalee Island (aka Ile aux Galets) – a land of bird carnage and feces.  There’s the dilapidated lighthouse, one dead tree, 3000 birds and at one moment three silly kayakers on this island.  There’s really no reason you’d ever need to visit, so here’s a… Continue reading
