A note from Max
wild waves, otherwise quiet
Hello, November. Our landscape is muted, soft browns and greys, faint burgundies and golds. We’re remembering – and grateful for – the evergreens.
Traffic on Hwy 61 has slowed, some of our favorite shop owners are taking some R&R. It’s quiet time, a nice reprieve after the boisterous colors and activities of fall.
Of note this month:
•The annual Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Beacon Lighting on Nov 10
•Wave watching as the wild nor’easters blow in – here’s spots to wave watch
•Best month to read about Lake Superior Shipwrecks
• the events page will have all the details for small town Thanksgiving fun, from craft shows and bazaars to free entrance to state parks
Have fun and be kind,
– Max
