@bryanhansel Great images and the caves bring back many memories of traveling around these islands back in the 80’s. #USCoastGuard #LakeSuperior #ApostleIslands

"Rare formations draw huge crowds within hours, but volatile weather conditions force a swift shutdown as officials play it day-to-day." Not accessible since 2015! #Wisconsin #PublicRadio

Ice caves’ brief return shows beauty and risk on Lake Superior

Someone who got to see the ice caves ahead of the crowds is Linda Nervick, who recently became the publisher of Lake Superior Magazine. She told WPR’s Robin Washington about her trek to the caves on “Morning Edition.”

Very glad we went to see the ice caves at the Apostle Islands. Our native friends warned us it would be a one day show given higher than normal temps and heavy winds and they were right! Last time they were open was 11 years ago, hope we don’t have to wait that long for next time. #nature #winter #apostleislands #lakesuperior

This is the outflow of a small creek where it meets #LakeSuperior.

Some more #photography from my #hikingtrip to the #beautiful #ApostleIslands. #lakesuperior #waves have been #beating on the #rocks forming #caves with #gentle #streams and #waterfalls. #nature is something to #behold

Any opinions on what this "growth" is?

Found on the back of a metal pole supporting a cold water tap in the #ApostleIslands (#Wisconsin).

A damp, cool, shady environment.

I'm thinking #SlimeMold, but it appears too robust.

Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping

I had to discover this on my own, wish somebody had told me... 🤷‍♂️

The general instruction you'll see repeated everywhere is hang your hammock with with the straps at a 30° angle. This is generally true but misses a few subtle points. First, you don't really need to think about the angle if you have a ridge line. Pull the ridge line tight and you're there! Second, a gathered-end hammock should be pitched with the foot slightly higher than the head. If you don't do this you will probably slide down to the foot of the hammock while you sleep.
