Ahhh... The Superior getaway. There's nothing quite like it. Glad you 2 could take a break.
The only road trip I went on with one of my buddies was up the North Shore of Superior to Quetico Park in Canada.
D & I spent our 1st night in bed together in a Duluth hotel and later stayed at a little hotel near Gooseberry Falls. We love Lake Superior—lots of good juju memories.
From my road trip experiences, I think the North Shore is one of the most beautiful and magical places in the US of A. I would live there in a heartbeat. Maybe our "Same Time Next Year" plan should be partay on the North Shore.... eh?
Do I smell a plan cookin' up on the stove?
It could work. Who knows, we might even be liviing back up there by then.
mmmm. this is too tasty. group vacations. three bedroom cabin on the Lake Superioso. woods, rivers, root beer bubbling gorges, birches. tree root fractured trails. freezing water. warm stones. long hikes up bluffs. the smell of pine and fresh water fish. cocktails. gut laughs. bonfires. stars and stars and stars and the mantra of waves lapping or pounding the rocky shoreline. gee. i dunno. whaddyathink?
You make it sound so good. Pure poetry. But then, Superior is poetry.
I've seen the Norhtern Lights in Minneapolis, so yeah, it's a definite possibility. But they only show up during solar activity. Meaning it's a crap-shoot whether you'd actually see some while you're there.
I can't believe you've never seen them! I guess it has to do with you being a Southern Belle and all.
Somtimes they do. I remember being up north, maybe it was along Lake Superior someplace, and there was a fabulous display. And you could hear this sort of swooshing, sizzling, staticy sound that kind of kept a rhythm to the pulsing of the lights. The more vibrant the display, the more likely you'll hear the soind.
Soind?
OK, so maybe I was high, but...
From Nordly's http://www.northern-lights.no/
"A controversial question concerning auroras is whether or not they can be heard by an observer on the ground. It has been debated for several centuries, but no instrumental, objective measurements of audible sound created from auroral displays have ever been made, despite several attempts with highly sensitive microphones. Still, many people claim to have heard auroras.
Sound waves are pressure waves which travel about 340 metres per second in air at ground level. At altitudes between 80 and 500 kilometres, where the aurora occurs, we have a near-vacuum, so it is not possible for sound waves to propagate. But since there are a lot of reports of crackling sounds during an aurora display, there may be some sort of physics behind it. In order to find an answer to the sound problem, one will have to carry out simultaneous instrumental observations of sound, light and the electric field at ground level."
My point was just that I'm not alone in thinking I "heard" the Auroras.
Buggy can build anything.
The link I posted above is from Norway, but they have a little graph on the right side of the page showing auroral activity. Rightg now it's on the low end of the scale, but it could always pick up.
