Thank you!

Totally does! From many angles, it’s a pirate ship.

On Wisconsin!!

Hope you get the chance to visit!

You aren’t wrong! It’s pretty incredible out there. Always a gift to make it there in December.

Hope you get the chance soon!

Maybe this will be the year. We’re due!

Thanks!

Wow, sounds like you had an awesome trip! And yeah, Lake Superior can change quickly. It’s basically an inland sea. Hope you get a return trip someday!

Well, it’s a bit early for real winter fun up here, but there’s a small ski hill near Bayfield you could try. You could hike the trail that goes along the mainland sea caves - definitely worth doing!

Thanks! This was a Canon 5DMKIII.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yeah, the mainland ice caves haven’t been open since 2015. Maybe this year?? Good luck, hope you get to visit!

Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated. There’s a link in my bio if you’re interested in prints.

The trip out wasn’t terrible, but staying for sunset came at a cost. It was a long (20+ miles) cold ride back to the mainland and we broke skim-ice coming down one of the channels. Totally worth it!

It’s beautiful up here!

Hey thanks, Brad! Hope all is well.

We found a single boat launch that was still mostly open, and got a small boat launched. It’s 20+ miles out to Devil’s from the mainland. We’ve had far more swings and misses than successes in December - this was a good day!

Right on! There’s a tour boat in Bayfield that will take you right out there in the summer months.

Yes, those are the famous mainland ice caves. They haven’t been open since 2015 unfortunately. This is Devil’s Island which is 20+ miles out from the mainland. Good fun!

Just barely! Devil’s is latitude 47.080 vs Outer at 47.077. This image was in December a few years ago. We missed our chance this year I’m afraid!

Madeline is awesome! Big Bay is worth the visit for sure. Hope you enjoyed your trip!

Many thanks!
