Lake Superior Journal: Heading into a Good Wind

There is a 3- to 5-foot sea out here today. The northeast wind is holding steady, for now. But I don’t want to be out here in another hour or two. The seas will probably be over 6-foot by then.

Welcome to the Big Lake: Born to Be Mild

My old Red Flash came out of the basement in honor of our story about “Looping the Lake” on the back of a motorcycle. The trike looks pretty worse for wear - a torn seat and rust spots. I expect that I’d look similar after 40 years in our basement.

Lake Superior Journal: In the Season of White

As I stand to toss a newly cut length of stove wood onto a pile nearby, I’m startled to see an unfamiliar brilliant red light on the nearby shore. Large, round, glowing with the scarlet intensity of an emergency signal, it hangs close to the ground.

Lake Superior Journal: The Old Man & the Ski

What would life be like without a hero? I met one of my heroes over a decade ago. At first I watched this unimposing cross-country skier munching on a pasty in Calumet, Michigan, after the Great Bear Chase Ski Marathon. I had to meet him.

Lake Superior Journal: Fishing with Sharon Jon

Growing up in an Army family, I had only distant connections with the fishing heritage on Minnesota’s North Shore. All of that changed when I started to work for Stanley Sivertson and his nephews Frank and Milford Johnson in spring 1973.

Lake Superior Journal: A Challenge for Charity

The Lake Superior wave hit my tiny craft with the force of a hammer blow. My narrow, single scull shuddered under the impact. Icy-cold water cascaded down my back, sluicing over the boat, washing through the small waterlogged cockpit over my feet.
