Postscript: from a favorite perch of ours. Of all our travel photos of Lake Superior’s beaches, we don’t have any of us skipping stones. Must have gotten tossed in a photo purge. Will work on that soon.

It is a #cooler day thanks to a #wind direction coming off #LakeSuperior.
I REALLY need a day trip thing to Duluth, especially on days like this: the Algoma Intrepid backs out of its slip at Compass Minerals and holding for the inbound Great Republic, the aerial bridge staying open for both vessels, 24 June, 2026. Photo by David Schauer.

“The Intrepid had unloaded salt and was heading empty to Thunder Bay while the Great Republic was arriving to fuel and then unload limestone at Graymont in Superior.” - David Schauer
Bruce MacDonald"The fear with any invasive species is that it will disrupt and change the food web and ecology in a lake. Zebra mussels from the same Caspian Sea have upended aquatic life in the Great Lakes and forever changed their water clarity. Sea lamprey have hammered native fish populations for generations. But scientists say there is hope that the impact of the new Eurasian invaders will be limited."
