I loved it up there - I'm going back first chance I get.

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: La Salle Explorers
no, she is standing on the beach
The Au Sable light house has at least 10 shipwrecks around it, two of them you can walk to . The water is crystal clear which is something I never knew about the great lakes.
The boat is called the Sitka, a wooden steamship that sank in 1904

Re: La Salle Explorers
I found this on them
Sitka and Gale Staples - The bones of the Sitka and Gale are mingled at Au Sable Point. The two craft were much
alike - both were double decked wooden bulk freighters. Each had two masts and were 272 and 277 feet in length,
built in 1887 and 1888. The Sitka stranded on October 4,1904, in heavy fog and high winds. Downbound and loaded
with iron ore, the ship ran aground, filled with water and was abandoned in heavy seas. Lifesavers from Grand Marais
rescued 17 men from the ship.
The Gale Staples was upbound on October 1, 1918, laden with coal for Port Arthur. Driven by high winds, she veered
off course and grounded on the reef. All hands were eventually rescued. Pieces of these two ships can be seen on the
beach just west of the Au Sable Light Station. Numerous other pieces of these wrecks are lying on the reef in shallow
water.

Cool. In the pic, it kinda gives off a bit of the Arizona look. I'm going to have to do the UP one day.

Re: La Salle Explorers
its not Alaska remote but as far as I can tell there is no "big" city up there. Salt Saint Marie is big enough to warrant a Wal-Mart but most of the cities if you can call them that are just a bar and a gas station if you are lucky. And the bar takes priority over everything else. Every town had some place that sold hard liquor regardless of size
I can get into that rustic individualism though. It's easy to find acre after acre of untouched land there. We had to hike almost 2 miles from a primitive campground to get to that light house.
