My adventures in wildlife and nature photography, but in video format! Based in Duluth, MN. Canoe trips to the Boundary Waters are my summer time escape from the hard working daily chores of being a musher.
I also own Endurance Kennels, a sprint racing sled dog kennel that gives rides and tours in northern Minnesota.
This is cool. I was born in Hancock, MI...and grew up swimming in Lake Superior...south shore near the Keweenaw Peninsula. There was a small river flowing into the lake...at this place called Great Sand Bay. I would always dam it up whenever we picnicked there.
@@tonecoughlinphotography Last time I vistted there was August of 2019. I even swam at mouth of the Gratiot. I hope to visit this year again...swim again!
I thought swimming in Lake Superior was forbidden, even in deep heat of summer, the granite base keeps the water so cold that people get hypothermia!!!
@@tonecoughlinphotography I was there that day and yes it was crazy busy. It was worth it though. The falls were amazing. You couldn't even go get to the lower falls. The path was blocked off and over flowing.
Lake Superior has a massive watershed area and is 1000' deep at its deepest point. Its water flows east, eventually ending up at Niagara Falls. What's amazing is that Superior's level has never strayed more than 1.5' above or 1.5' below its average level since measurements started being documented in the 1800s.
The drought will it ever end????The climate hoax is now revealed for EV CULT is just a religion of the White liberal colonizers. Truly magnificent how mother nature is so POWERFUL.
Gov Walz wants to replace them all with Windmills. Why did the failed damn not have a wire maintenance like these to catch logs from the farmers floating and stopping the water from topping the dam????
@@tonecoughlinphotography The failure of government to handle maintenance of any floating debris is demonstrated by your pictures where a WIRE Cable catches the logs and debris prior to hitting the dams.. Nice pictures.
@@tonecoughlinphotography That dam is responsibility of the County and democrats WALZ has known this was a problem and for 10 years now. DEMOCRATS CONTROL every thing. time to put a windmill up there.
We already had spring runoff in April. 7-9" of rain in less than an hour wiped out culverts and dirt roads. Highway 61 was flooded. It was all over the news you can check it out for yourself.
No climate change disaster in America just ask Trump and the Loyalists that keep lieing around Globle Warming its America no.1 treat today's world I'm voting for my Grand Daughters in Biden all the way Baby in Women's Freedoms tomorrow VOTE 0:00 😊
I went up to the headwaters of the st louis river;unbelievable how thst small river has turned into a raging torrent..At skibo mill the river was up to the parking lot. At norway pt the river is also at the parking lot. Wild!!!!!
The recent flash flooding we've had has made ppl disbelieve the run off. Rivers and Lakes are higher than in the spring with snow melt. They're watching online vs seeing it in person.
My mother used to get on me about ice skating on lakes when i was a kid. Until, that is, her sister told us kids that my mom would skate on the St. Louis River by Aloise, where she grew up. Those hardy Belgians, I tell ya.
Because of all the particulate Hunga Tonga pumped into the atmosphere/stratosphere, I'm guessing it's also to blame for the temperature spikes over the past year or so
Honestly, the flooding flow is impressive, but what does a “normal flow” look like? I don’t live there, so it is unclear how much difference is being observed.
I can explain. What we see here is high water. High water is after a good rain and the water comes up and moves fast and dangerous. But as everyone can see, the water is contained within the normal banks of the river. A FLOOD happens when the water rises enough to pour out of the river banks onto roads, yards, parks, businesses and things like that where it causes damage leaves debris and possibly some destruction if powerful enough. Now you can see the difference. This vid is of high water, not flooding. Good footage. To bad the title was clickbait
@@tonecoughlinphotography Apparently that was thought impossible, and then it happened for the first time in 2017 I believe. I was unaware that it hadn't happened before that. It must be another climate change adaptation. We aren't the only ones adapting to a changing climate. The planet is doing so as well.
@@jimthain8777 I did some research I guess it's a temporary thing when lake levels are lower and warmer. If the water is high like it is now the lake stays cool.
While there is certainly quite a bit of silt/debris being carried along in the higher-than-normal waters, remember that most of these rivers are already kind of dark tea-colored due to tannins that they pick up as they flow through marshes and other wetlands, so it isn't as dramatic as the video makes it appear. This is normal for a lot northern MN rivers and lakes.
Well, since it is YOUR video - perhaps you should have edited in some of your previous videos to show us the difference between what is normal for most of the year around as compared to what excess amount you're trying to show us in this video.
Alright let me shoot here, first is high falls on the pigeon river of course. Second is the bridge over the polar at Lutsen resort where the SHT passes through? Third is the Temperance of course.
I remember in 2001 as a senior at Blaine High School we put in on East Bear Skin for a winter camping trip for our Outdoor Adventure Class and we went over to Alder on snowshoes for a 2 night camping trip in the winter. Great experience.
