Report #7000 This is unofficially report number 7000. I say unofficially because I have only corrected the numbers of the reports only a few times over the last 20 years and it may or may not be #7000, but pretty close. 7,000/365 is between 19 and 20, so I won’t go through the whole list at this point.

I’m not going to pass up that opportunity! What a fantastic ride up the North shore to Onominee Beach and back. Calm seas and a beautiful sunset to end… Read more »
