I've been up there a few times but haven't been able to time it just right with fall colors.

I love waterfalls that you can get up close and personal with. And I've caught some nice trout down there.

There's a ski lift that takes you up to the base of the tower, then you can climb stairs all the way up. Here's what it looks like up close.

Okay the sun has set and now the Moon is its normal color but it is super big today so y'all might want to pop outside and take a look. It is something.

Stunning. The Hunter's moon is catching the last rays of sunlight as it starts to rise above the Stonington Peninsula on the northwest corner of Lake Michigan. #906Life #PureMichigan

Just bat shit crazy.

Noem LIED today that authorities recently arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa in Portland, and labeled #antifa as a terrorist org. Fascists hate antifascists it seems. This despicable regime is truly the enemy of the people! www.foxnews.com/us/noem-like...
Noem likens Antifa to ISIS, other terror groups that want to ‘kill’ Americans
President Donald Trump and cabinet officials discussed left-wing terror threats from Antifa during a White House roundtable with reporters covering the domestic terror group.

Pasty (pronounced pass-tee, not paste-y)
or
Sauna (pronounced sow-nuh, not saw-nuh)

I'm a Yooper (from Michigan's Upper Peninsula). And while those two things and their pronounciations are native to the UK and Finland respectively, they're very big parts of our culture.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I have a newly formed Peninsula due to dropping water on Lake Michigan and that just happens to be where the Great Lakes Great Egret had his best fishing days just a few months ago. #906Life #PureMichigan
A small Peninsula off of my beach has re-emerged as Lake Michigan Waters are receding. In the background. The sun is shining against the Stonington Peninsula This is a picture of a great egret that frequented my beach a few months ago for feeding, which is right where the newly emerged Peninsula is.

You guys in the interior don't have the warming waters of the Great Lakes, I still have Fresno peppers flowering here, it's crazy.

Bonkers crazy and completely detached from reality. Like his sick deluded cult. Judges need to be shutting down this clown's actions asap before it spirals out of control with his military opening fire on American citizens. This is not a joke. We have the feds, congress and SCOTUS aligned against us

Trump on Portland: "It's like the movies you see for the kids, I guess not only the kids, adults also, where you have these bombed out cities and these bombed out people. It's like, worse than that."

Well it's been a few days with this cold front, it's just more entrenched now so we are getting more arctic air pulled in here.

At least 24 people were killed and 47 wounded while protesting against Myanmar's military government after an army motorized paraglider dropped two bombs on the crowd. This is where this country is headed. 🤬 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Community push back is effective against these energy and water hogging data centers!

This is BS. Alcohol, which is far more destructive to society is only taxed at 6%.

Definitely, just like the desert southwest has dry heat we can have dry cold which is easier to tolerate.

Here's your Yooper hump day sunrise from the northwest corner of Lake Michigan on a chilly 39° autumn morning. #906Life #PureMichigan
The sun is rising above a bank of clouds low on the horizon over the Stonington Peninsula on Northwest Lake, Michigan. The water is calm and there are few clouds in the sky.
