📍Pukaskawa camping …. While I only stayed one night I’m glad I had the chance to camp here. I landed up getting the very last campsite that late afternoon …. I always enjoy visiting Pukaskawa even for a day … Hattie Cove beach is one of my favourites to just sit and be still. The water here is always freezing cold so I never even try to go for a swim. One summer my son did just that, and ran into the cold lake for a swim. It was cold 🥶…… The walk to the visitor centre and the trail up to the red chairs are always a must-do when there !!! #lakesuperior #algoma #ontario #travelontario #ontariotravel #worldenders #northshore #thesoo #adventure #explore #bluecarroadtripper #honda #greatlake #provincialpark #highway17 #vacation #pukaskwanationalpark @pukaskwa @parcs.canada #camping #beach #bluecarroadtripper (at Parc national Pukaskwa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkigvP7rHFJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Empire beach is such a scenic spot because on either side you have the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline. Definitely want to visit when it's warmer so I can go swimming lol. #sleepingbeardunes #sleepingbearnationallakeshore #dunes #lakemichigan #lake #lakesofinstagram #michiganlakes #greatlake #greatlakes #michigan #puremichigan #scenic #beach #empire #empirebeach #blueskies #relaxing #onthebeach #landscapes #landscapesofinstagram #michiganlandscapes #photographer #photography #edited #photoshopped #lightroom #photooftheday #picoftheday #beautiful (at Empire Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6S4PDpNE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BREAKING NEWS: Introducing a NEW national marine sanctuary… 🎉

With broad support, today NOAA announced an important addition to America’s National Marine Sanctuary System— Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary. 

The 1,722 square-mile area contains waters that act as a gateway between the Great Lakes and the ocean and protect culturally significant places, resources, and artifacts integral to American history and the heritage of Indigenous Peoples. 

This is the most recent national marine sanctuary designation since NOAA announced the inclusion of Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary in 2021, and it is the third sanctuary to be designated in the Great Lakes.

i've long held a fascination with blaseball gamma 1 (the test circuit that was revealed on the website after it had finished running) because there's a whole lot about it that doesn't add up. if you compare the rosters in the last available gamelogs for teams to the rosters on the websites they don't match up - and i don't just mean "oh the static charges" i mean there are new players and reverbs that have happened that aren't recorded. it is a weird, messy circuit that we didn't get to see, and i care for it quite dearly.

(personally i've long held the theory that there was a third season of this circuit that we didn't get to see that led to additional weather and another round of charges. this is beside the point but i think if they ever do another IAB y'all should help me flood the question box asking about this. i want to know.)

one thing you Can see when looking at gamma 1 teams is that several of them have four pitchers. this is, obviously, not how blaseball works; teams should have five pitchers. some of them were charged, and we know some of these from feed messages. some of them are just missing.

i found some of them tonight.

i've been working on recreating the election results from gamma 1, season 1, and through that i've found three pitchers that i'm not sure people know about. i don't have their stats info, i don't have their performance records. but i found three players who were missing. those players are:

pedro greatlakes, miami dale

jamaal hardison, baltimore crabs

manuela byron, new york millennials

there are, per my best count, three teams with pitchers that are still missing from the record (firefighters, sunbeams, lift) and because of the quality of pitcher feed events i'm not sure they'll ever be found. and maybe this is actually old news and i'm out of touch. and maybe (definitely) i'm a bit of a sap. but i wanted to publish those names. because blaseball is over and gone, and this was a dead circuit in a dead world in a dead game. but there are still new things to find.

Charlevoix South Pier Light Station

I found myself in this northwest Michigan town a couple of days ago; I got down to the water just prior to sunset.

There was an earlier iteration of this lighthouse, similar in design, made of timber. It was built in 1885 and sat on the north side of Pine River Channel. The steel structure one sees here was built in 1948 and sits on the south side of the channel.

The history of this diminutive light station can be found on a plaque mounted at the base of the structure with more details available here. The cement plant visible in the background of the final image was once called Medusa, and is currently known as St. Marys.

The Oldest Aquarium In America Is Right Here In Michigan

Belle Isle Aquarium, located at 900 Inselruhe Avenue within Detroit’s famous Belle island park.

It was meticulously designed and constructed in 1904 by famed architect Albert Kahn.

The “Beaux Art” architectural style of the building itself is a unique and gorgeous sight to behold. The ceilings are covered in green opaline glass that gives the entire aquarium an ethereal atmosphere.

Belle Isle Aquarium features marine life from across the country and world.

📍Happy #TakeAHikeDay! Did you know a walk in the woods can help alleviate mental fatigue, and improve creative thinking. Hiking is also great for cardiovascular health and muscle tone. My favourite hiking places are Lake Superior Provincial Park & Pukaskwa National Park. Where do you enjoy hiking 🥾?? ##lakesuperior #algoma #ontario #travelontario #ontariotravel #worldenders #northshore #thesoo #adventure #explore #bluecarroadtripper #honda #greatlake #provincialpark #highway17 #vacation #hiking #hike (at Northern Ontario, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClElAxEp1D2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Enjoyment and appreciation of the great outdoors is a fundamental American value. National marine sanctuaries are places of hope, inspiration, biodiversity, and resilience. But they are more than just ocean parks; they’re communities with diverse cultures, values, and ideas. By embracing and celebrating this diversity, we can ensure a bright future of our ocean and Great Lakes for current and future generations.
