IS SUPERIOR THE WORLD'S BIGGEST LAKE?
1:28:11 Superior is the world's biggest freshwater lake by surface area. Caspian Sea is bigger but it's just a part of the ocean that got disconnected and now has 1/3 of the salinity so I feel iffy about its classification as a lake. Some would argue that it's Lake Baikal which is much deeper and with more volume (though way less surface area) but that's not much good unless you own a submarine. "World's largest freshwater lake on earth by surface area" doesn't work in a title.
Superior wins
im heading out to North Frontenac common camping spots. Lemme know if u wanna join :)Good times fishing and chilling in local ontario.
Crushing it dude! Great film
@@JimBairdAdventurer thanks again Jim! Really appreciate it
Bykal is bigger and deeper...
Your videography and storytelling are wonderful! I especially enjoy the closeups of flowers and critters. You carried me back nearly a half century to my younger days exploring the lakes and streams of southern Yukon and northern B.C. in my Folbot. I can barely walk now, and my eyesight is so poor I can hardly make out a squirrel in a tree, much less the stars on a clear night. But on my large computer monitor and speakers, your video brings to me the sights and sounds of nature I so love. The call of the loon, the slap of a beaver's tail, the lap of water on a rocky shore, wind in the canopy, the roar of breakers on a troubled lake. Thank you for enriching my life!
I also appreciate your setting a good example of managing risk. Adventures are much more rewarding when you survive them. Hopefully your example will encourage young adventurers to exercise better judgement and live longer to share their tales.
This was the first video of yours I have come across, but I certainly look forward to watching more. And, I will watch this one again. I was delighted to take the opportunity to subscribe. May your excursions be many, safe, and rewarding. May your memories be warm and satisfying, and may you always have someone you love, and who loves you, to share them with.
Thank you, Fred Cox for such a rewarding writings of yours! Not native English speaker I just agree to every single word you have written above and truly you are telling almost every thought I also have thought during watching this amazing videography of John! I love his fine tuned verbal describing and story telling along his voyage and his language are a delight to listen to! Thank you so very much, sir, for taking your time to writing all this beautiful acknowledgement to honor John for his excellent job to capture his trip! God bless you both! Best regards from Sweden! 💯 👌 👍💝💝💝💖💝💝💝 👍
“I suffered another injury however. I sacked myself swatting a mosquito”. Best line of the video Jon. That beaver dam was a good size. Neat trip. Like another world out there on those islands it seems.
😆
I'd go with "you have Scotch?"
You just reminded me of something: When I hiked the Appalachian Trail almost 30 years ago, I got to a shelter in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Biting gnats had been bothering all of us since we left Georgia. I went down to the stream pool water source, from the shelter to purify my night's supply of water for drinking and cooking. As I reached the pond, the gnats covered me from head to toe. It was miserable. Soon after, as my food was cooking, I wrote a limerick in the trail shelter logbook. It went,
"The gnats are a problem, don't scoff.
You need Deet, or some kind of Off.
One little pesticle
Bit my left testicle
And now I am REALLY PISSED OFF!"
A few monster hikers caught up to me and said they died laughing at my log post, and looked forward to catching up to meet me. They suffered the same thing as me. And appreciated my humor. I replied, "It's all what we make it. Gotta keep the goal in mind and laugh about the irritating stuff."
Those guys finished. I didn't, because of a family event I stopped and got off the trail for. One day before I crap out, maybe, I'll hike the trail again. And finish.
@@MissionaryInMexico hard enough to find a ryme for testicle!
Your content is just "superior," literally! It just puts me at peace and in such a wonderful mood. You should consider turning your videos into Imax form. It would be splendid to see. With the music you add and the sound effects coming from the lake, birds, etc, it would be a hit. Thank you for letting me live my dreams vicariously through you. As a fellow nature lover, where I live, we don't have too many beautiful places like this. You truly are a master of your crafts, John.
Truly appreciate that Mikey!
Some people go to Disneyland and talk about the “magic” but these views and experiences on Superior were what I consider “magical”. Very well done, professional grade vid. I loved this!
I dread the suggestion of Disneyland! Give me an alpine lake and colorful sunset, that is truly the adventure.
YES!!! Sunday rainy mornings and some new lost lakes. Time to watch this on the big tv
It's no wonder why it's called Superior. Truly awe inspiring. Thanks Jon.
@Egon Musk Sharp as a tack buddy.
This title for a youtube video just appeared in my mind. Not sure if I came up with it myself or if I heard it somewhere, but here it is:
Camping on an island on a lake that is on a island on a lake !! wuut 🙂
I dont take medication for my anxiety. I just watch lost lakes ! Thanks
💚
Hey Jon, Dave here from Newfoundland, awesome stuff. I was having a hard time with my lower back, and ended up trying daily core workouts and it has changed my life. Getting a strong core is the foundation of a strong body, and therefore a strong mind. Cheers buddy. Keep up the good content.
Thanks for this Dave. Someone gave me a book called "Foundation" which I believe speaks to the same but it's large and I haven't read it yet...you're motivating me though, thanks man
Bravo! Another soothing therapeutic video. Im sure you have thought if this before, but i hope you know your videos help others with maybe depression, mental illnesses. These videos put one at peace. Thanks jon.
Greatly appreciate that Dave 💚
Man! Thank you for the norther light and what you do. I rather watch your videos than watching TV just junk on TV. THANKS !
Thank you!
Having lived and grown up in Michigan till the military life at 18 in 1974, just listening to the sounds, and water against the canoe, the Loons, the breeze...I can actually smell the water and the environment...I sure miss those shores. Thank-you for your video...awesome. Proxy Miner Vote "Love IT", chuckles.
Hahah much appreciated Chinta :)
You continue to out do yourself. Love this trip, photography and music exceptional. My parents took us kids to lakes in Canada in the late 50's. Portaging between lakes, big fish moose, memories. I'm now 70 and can no longer even dream of doing what you do. So I can watch you continue to deliver outstanding content, good on you. Whats up with Erin? We miss her. Oh and some of the funniest parts are your short conversations with yourself.
David and Peggy
Greatly appreciate that David & Peggy 💚 We did an 11-day trip in August which I'm editing this very moment :) Should be up in a few weeks
Easily one of your best yet! You're videos are so solid its hard to keep up
Thanks brother ☺️☺️
I'm from the upper peninsula of Michigan. I lived a block away from Superior. I live in Florida now. While I know there's people who would love to trade places with me, I can say with a lot of experience and a lot of time in both places.... cherish what you have. I have the ocean now and it is a magical place to be if you like sharing the beach with a million other people. You can kayak or canoe out in the gulf and that's nice too....if you don't mind surfing the wake of the million other power boats out there. I miss the peace and tranquility. I watch your videos and I know the smell. What that wind feels like. The smell of field grass. I miss it so much. I wish I could go home. Never take it for granted.
Being a Minnesotan, Superior has been a part of my life since i was a wee little child😂 i love it the shorline is beautiful
Amazing job Jon, this video really demonstrates how far you've come with filming, editing, pace and keeping the viewer engaged. The superior videos are my favorite of yours for sure. Keep killing it brother! Viewership will really ramp up soon
Thanks so much Mack :)
Jon,
This was a magical video. One of your best. I love how your travel is dictated by the weather. You summed it all up with the last night's unreal sky. Definitely the best 1.5 hours I will spend today. It is so cool you see you put in the work to get out there and gain the rewards of all the beauty that nature offers. Lake Superior is unreal.
Alex
Really appreciate that Alex 💚
@@LostLakes is there any possibility of getting your start point in rockport with pathing for the first set of islands? I would like to do a 5 day trip with my grandfather next summer to these island lakes, looks like an extremely scenic route, he loves climbing for views as well, these small peaks may add value for us. Let me know! Thanks
No problem. You can launch a canoe here: goo.gl/maps/3vC79jAGaTjfxLb49 and then cross to the islands anywhere but usually where the distance is minimized. BUT--given that I have no idea of your experience--keep in mind that this lake can be extremely dangerous to be on in any vessel and especially in an open canoe. And to make any open water crossings between islands you MUST have a dry or wet suit. The water is lethally cold even in summer and kills by incapacitation drowning in a few minutes as one's body loses control from the cold. So if you dump away from shore it can be deadly. Conditions change fast and it can be hard to plan a trip here if you don't live close because you might arrive or need to leave on a no-go day.
@@LostLakes thank you very much, and yes I promise I will over prep and then some, nothing will be pushed or chanced whatsoever.
I appreciate your continuous safety conscience for everybody watching, not only myself. It translates, believe me ❤️
Thank you again, also for your work, it’s inspiring and promotes a different mindset for certain things some often overlook, I find you also help keep me focused as far as the small details of what’s really needed, where you can limit/use less/be more conservative etc, not only in camping but many aspects of day to day life.
Best wishes
Took me a minute, but I’m definitely “hooked” on this channel.
choice of music for this was really subtle and beautiful. I know you work hard on these and I truly appreciate all that you do.
Wow, John, WOW!!!!
What a wonderful trip! Thank you for doing what you do.
I’m from Michigan and have always been in love with Lake Superior, but you are capturing what I’ll never see in person. You are perfecting your skills and those who watch are benefiting from your dedication.
Nat Geo can’t hold a candle to what I just watched. Again…thank you!
Appreciate that so much Angel 💚💚
Dude! I live in thunder Bay and my wife and I had the privilege of renting a canoe and driving to sleeping giant putting in at silver isle and checking out the sea lion. Epic. I told her I saw you on CZcams camping out along the shores. I gotta say you definitely inspired me to get out there so your content is much appreciated!! I'll be right behind ya!! Beautiful photography!
Nice! I was going to try Silver Islet this summer in my kayak but settled for Pigeon Bay instead. I live in Atikokan so it was a little closer drive. It was a good day, landed a couple salmon. Cheers
Love to hear that man, thank you!
That sounds so fun.
I almost seldom leave comments on any videos. However, I am so grateful that you take us along on your adventures so we can take in the scenery that we may otherwise ever see. You make so many ppl happy. Your stories, scenery, everything is so fantastic!! Nothing is more satisfying than discovering that you have a new video uploaded. There are other channels that can compete with the beauty that your videography manages to capture. Thank you, Jon!!!
Agree 💯
I just found his channel while watching my own on the TV (best way to watch these type except you can't comment or like) and it showed up on the suggested feed. He does have some great video! Hopefully when I grow up I can compete 😄
Appreciate that so much Darrah! 💚
The magnificent stars, northern lights and beaver slapping it's tail..magic indeed. Thanks John.
All your videos are well done, but this one was one of my favorites. Beautiful videography as usual. What an exceptional summer exploration. As always, thanks for sharing.
Really appreciate that SBG
I truly enjoy watching your videos. I grew up in Michigan and like Canada it is gorgeous! I have to say that I ducked and swatted at the sight and sounds of those mosquitoes. Watching your videos I can see that you are a pretty cool guy and would be fun to hang around. Stay safe and thank you for sharing your adventures.
Haha hope you're not scratching your phantom bites. Thanks a lot Tina :)
He has some good stuff! I just found his channel while watching my own on the TV and it auto played. I was surprised to find a "larger" hiking/outdoor channel!
Just like the trout and the pike, im hooked. Cant get enough.
This was a movie. Absolutely beautiful. Great work.
Thank you so much!
Jon your not kidding, the pure awe and wonderment of the shores of Lake Superior are truly mystical and religious.
I am truly surprised Park's Ontario or Canada has not established a trail system on the islands. Such a rugged and beautiful place to explore.
Your cinematography has improved leaps and bounds. That final night sky was a transformative experiance to say the least.
Thanks for your continued mission to share your love and wonderment of the great outdoors. Looking forward to the next adventure Jon.
Your photography and shot set-ups were EXTRA GOOD on this trip, and it made it even more enjoyable. I am disabled, and I can not get out in the wilds anymore. I live vicariously through adventures like yours. Your trip was wonderful, and I really hope you enjoyed it. I also hope your back issues stay away as well. Good portaging to you!
Really appreciate that 💚
I started making videos for 2 reasons; in the event I myself can no longer get out there, and to share the adventures with others who can't get out there. We do a lot more messing around, but check out my channel one day (shameless channel plug 😄)
"Everyone else is fired." LOL! Really loved the star gazing and of course the borealis. Also loved seeing all those iris' going off on that inland lake where you saw the bull moose. Thanks for the video. Top notch as always sir.
Hahah thanks so much Shane :)
Heaven on Earth, Jon. Thank you for showing us this glimpse.
First time watching one of your videos and I can't find the words to describe how amazing it was. Wow. Very proud to be a Canadian when I see what these hidden parts of our country look like. Will keep watching.
Yes! Well Jon I finally went out on Superior myself... for the first time in my life! It was mostly about exploration but did manage to catch some nice salmon from my kayak. I went south of Thunder Bay towards Minnesota in Pigeon Bay. That is my latest video. Anyway your Superior videos are some of my favourite! Such a beautiful lake. I regret not doing it sooner. I'll be exploring a couple new spots every year. Why not, it's only a couple hours drive from home 😎 Cheers!!!
Right on Joe, you've got the bug now man
It's the greatest feeling in the world, when your back corrects itself.
Your words at the end of the video were 'magical'...matched your surroundings.
Man.. what a journey, thank you for taking us along. I was fully immersed and didn't notice time passing by. Your footage, editing, pace, storytelling, it's all superb. Thank you again and please keep at it!
Truly appreciate that! 💚
Of all your incredible videos, this one is the most beautiful and picturesque. I loved every rock and rock formation, every sky shot, every minute of this video!! Many thanks and congratulations on making a truly magnificent cinematic work of beauty!
Thank you so much Pete!
Love the bump in resolution to 4k. It really does add to the viewing experiencing for us audience :). Appreciate it! Keep up the amazing content!
Much appreciated Eugene! :)
Beautiful. I am so grateful to be li ch ing and paddling this amazing country. Great video, loved it!
The videography excellent, scenery spectacular, your respect and admiration for nature, priceless! Approaching 85 and like the song says, "I would sail around the world, look for gold and dive for pearls, but I know, I will never get to go" and yet through your work, I can enjoy the journey! Thank you so much for what you do. I look forward to every video.
Truly appreciate that Deanna 💚
My Sunday just started off so much better. Another inspiring adventure. The photography in this one is second to none. Sometimes when I watch this stuff I wonder, will heaven be a let down for Jon?!
If there were a separate channel of Lost Lakes drone shots and canoe bow shots, I’d probably leave that on loop on my living room TV.
As an aside, in my work life I specialize in the area of joint pain and back pain. It sounds like you struggle with it a lot. If you can see my email on Buy Me a Coffee, feel free to connect. I’ll help you figure out who you should see about it if you’re not already plugged in. I looked for a way to message you directly about this but couldn’t find any.
Thanks so much Sean 💚 I'll shoot you an email now
Man I could use you! Crushed l4 and l5 disks and still fighting the insurance company to cover a surgery (just a nerve ablation through the facet). I try to still get out in the mountains every weekend though!
Fantastic, you really conveyed your experience to me, I have great admiration of all your trips.
What a beautiful trip! The night sky on your last night.. gorgeous. That's the beauty of being away from city lights. I miss the Northern Lights. About 11 min in when you were in the caves, it loosely resembled an elephant drinking from the waters. You are a romantic and that's what I like about you. Thank you for sharing this with us!
A big and warm THANK, to you, John, for your skilfully video graphed great outdoor adventures and fishing trips, with your beautiful language, almost ready to be written into a book of yours, as you have uttered them! I so much appreciate your generous and friendly sharing from your outings from the remarkable most beautiful pristine Canadian wilderness and nature! God bless you and keep you together with with all your family members and loved ones! Greetings from north Europe, Sweden! 💯💝👍👌
Wow! Stunning shores. What a lake, it is superior. 🙌
Being from the U.P. of Michigan currently living in Central Indiana. It's refreshing to see the North Side of Superior. Never have traveled up that direction - However, It is SO AWESOME to see your footage as it's a stark reminder of how much I miss home and the good old days of wintering just South of the Southern Shore. Thanks Jon !!
Much appreciated Troy!
I'm a traveler myself. I'm older now, and my body still craves the move. Damn body can't cash the checks it once did. Your videos sweep me away, at times when this body tethers me. Thank you
I feel for you my friend...thanks for joining me :)
Thank You 😊 I enjoyed that very much. Will never make it there. Old and crippled now. I also watch a lot of this content and no ones been in touch with Mother Earth like you did . Your Love for Her came thru your video work. In the end I felt "" I "" had "" Finally been there . 🌺
Amazing as always John. You, Joe, and Xander all inspired me to get into canoeing, and now I can't stop! Its such an awesome adventure each time I go out. Keep up the great work!
Love to hear that Brian, thank you! 💚
Is there something that the eyes can’t see that you look for with these adventures?
I find myself completely invested with your Videos.You my friend have a talent of sharing your passion and knowledge. Love the subject matter . Keep living the Dream!!!
That was SO beautiful! All those rock cliffs, northern lights, sunsets and sunrises, beautiful flowers and caves. I collect rock an every one of them would go home with me. I have a old washtub for a table outside an i have small rocks on half of it. I do sit out there an play with them a look at them every day. Yep I'm pretty strange. You can put them in a glass bowl with water in it an floating candles. Thanks excellent video.
You are magic Jon, thanks again for another amazing video and bringing us along on your adventure, keep up the great work!
Our first experience with Lake Superior was at Munising. Hardly comparable to your epic outing, we did get to experience the beauty with which you regularly describe this amazing lake. We had Trout Cove on Grand Island to ourselves for an hour. We also wet our feet and skipped a few stones on the western shores of the island. Neither of us have seen such pristine waters.
This is such an amazing video. We’re grateful for your dedication and tireless work to bring such incredible beauty to our lives. Be safe!! The video starting at 47:55 is stunning.
Really appreciate that
21:37 prrof that Earth isn't flat! Awsome Adventure Jon, jaw dropping scenery, great food and a great person showing us nature as few of us can see. Thank you.
Much appreciated!
Beautiful, thanks for taking me...
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I love the eye you bring to the filming.
Really appreciate that :)
After watching this all I could say is Bravo. Vlogging all these beautiful spots I’ll never seen in person is exhilarating. I think to myself how sad more people won’t see this beautiful scenery but they are through you! Thank you!
Thank you so much Joy!
You’re a big kid out there, and I love it! Never change. Powers that be wanted you to stay that 1 last night to see the magnificent Aurora 😮
Thw weather in Ontario has been beautiful this summer. Thanks for capturing this footage
1:25:04 is outstanding!!
First time i ever thought "lyrical" while watching your videos. Definitely a truly superior experience you gave us John. That was magic wrapped in magic drizzled in wonder and sprinkled with delights. Another level of filming and editing has been unveiled.
Dude the quality of your footage is stunning! The best video quality of any channel by far.
Bom dia amigo!! lugar lindo!! felicidades!!👍😘😍
Jon, you're truely blessed, to be able to explore such an amazing place. I'm glad you make these videos as I will never be able to do this, as I live in the UK. In my own opinion you have the best job. Keep it going, enjoy watching your well edited videos. 👌
Thanks a bunch Anthony, I'm a very, very lucky guy
Your Superior videos are always magical. I would watch them endlessly. What a special place and such a perfect night to end your journey. Thank you.
Stunning night sky with northern lights. I've walked along Superior's shores and picked the colorful agate stones. I live along the shores of Lake Michigan and enjoy the beauty of the lake every day. What a blessing. I liked your poetic synopsis at the end.
Simply amazing thank you for sharing this with us
My favorite coast line...we have spent a lot of time the last 5 years exploring. We have headed to Pickle Lake for a 2 week moose hunting the last 4 years, Northern Ontario is world class beauty.
Fantastic job as always John
It's paradise :) Thanks a lot Steve
Yes that North shore of Superior is breathtaking! I was up in Pickle Lake this spring doing some back country camping. You would drive past my home town every time you go up there. Ignace, ON on the south end of the 599. Cheers
Wish we had this kind of wild in Nebraska… alas, everything is farmed right up to the water’s edge. Navigable but hardly remote. You are blessed.
The rocks at38:17 remind me of the rocks at the giants causeway Ireland,beautiful video,we are blessed to live in Canada!🇨🇦👍
Jon this is such a great video. Thank you for always making my life fuller. I’m not sure you know how much joy you bring to people.
Truly appreciate all your kindness ÐƦǻꀨꋊōḝÐ 💚💚
Awesome photography, Awesome scenery, Awesome trip
N. E. U. S. A.
Thanks a lot Sam
What a beautiful area, 40 years ago l explored the same areas with my soul mate. Natural areas like that shout out in a loud voice to the Almighty and his wisdom. Thank you for letting us relive our old stomping grounds.
Well Jon, that was wonderful and amazing. Absolutely loved that magical night/morning with all the amazing skies. The gorgeous stones and the caves plus everything else. No wonder you love it so much. Thanks for sharing your experience,that’s what these utube videos are about from my perspective. So grateful for your picture stories and your heartfelt commentary. Wendy
Nice one Jon!! Just what I need here today on wet & windy west coast of Ireland a good lostlake binge 👍
Right on, thanks Tony!
Love the chill vibes every time my man, take it easy with us :)
Flew over it once in 1960 on our way to Scotland for a holiday; you could not see one end of the lake from the other! It truly is magnificent!
Can't wait to watch all of this, im hiking the coastal trail at LSPP and the Casques Ilse trail near rossport in the next 2 weeks, you are really lucky Jon to live near such an incredible area!
Sweet. Making some good video content? I cant wait to see that! I haven't hiked the Casques trails yet. It's on my list.
@@differentfins Definitely joe! can't wait to share it, hopefully I can edit the footage before years end if i'm not too busy, Cheers!
Jon, another amazing video. All your efforts to create these masterpiece videos are appreciated!! Your trips along Superior are my favorites and I always look forward to watching your content. Spending time in that area and becoming fully aware of your surroundings and everything in nature is truly a religious experience. What an amazing last night….it must have been hard to sleep after that.
Thank you so much IM! It was indeed...especially wondering if the lights might kick up again :)
If I was sat in my living room after eating my Christmas lunch and this came on the TV in my lounge, well, I've just sat and watched. Fantastic and alikand to anything National Geographic.
Finally 4K - Thanks, this makes your journeys even more enjoyable!
You just fired me!? You can't fire me I quit.
😝😝
I don't see Littlefoot.
😝
Jon you captured so much beauty and awe inspiring scenery.
💚
My favourite lake .What I wouldn't give to go again. I did that section of Lake Superior several years ago. It's all wonderful. I cannot resist adding to my Superior rock collection whenever I visit. I was a bit worried the waves would get you when camped under the rock overhang! Magnificent last night.
Absolutely beautiful. Growing up in northern Minnesota spent time on the north shore of lake superior.
Wow your living a dream, being one with nature and seeing things that no person really gets to see. I fell in love with snowmobiling for that reason and to to love a season that most hate . You gained another subscriber.
Love that you do longer videos and longer trips. These are the best imo.
Jon, NatGeo may have the camera skills but they don't tell a story like you do. Thanks for filling a necessary nature gap in all of our lives and connecting us with our historic roots living from the land and exploring. I totally understand your curiosity. As for those souvenir rocks you might consider incorporating them into something like furniture or a picture frame with some clear marine epoxy.
Oh Jonathan that night sky was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, Breathtaking in every way. God really bless you for that last night of glory thank you so much for being there to share it with us. You know it's there whether anybody ever sees it or not the most amazing art so inprettable thanks again for sharing it with us. God bless you
Thank you so much Teri! 💚
Jon I am a bit envious, so much canoeing opportunities, great camping and fishing! Great video young man. Looking forward to the next. Tell Erin hi and miss her sharing your trips.
Thanks a lot Mark :) Working on an 11-day trip with Erin right now
Wow! Well done. Thanks again for taking us there with you. Your shots and audio are on point. I wish more people took the time to be quite and just listen, especially in the place you were/are. You are an inspiration and wish you the best with your Jontario mining company.😆
Yes .Cougar -Mountain lion...same cat are in the North of the Lake Huron .My friend and I spotted what We thought was a deer at first ..until I recognized the 5 foot tail. It was on the deer trail on the White River road coming from Elliott Lake to Iron Bridge..Big cat 🙀
Another great trip and what a fantastic place to be wind bound.
Monumental editing to get his under 4-5 hours!!! I still think you captured the feel...well done!!!
Very much appreciated!
While I do not expect my comment to be found amongst the (currently 1002) other offerings, I will write it anyway. As a sort of open journal entry for anyone to explore, I write as if no one is looking.
This video stirred up so many buried emotions and memories - at a most visceral level. My childhood was forged over the rocky shores and under the dark green pines of Wisconsin's northwoods. There I was tested; the deep winter nights and long summer days, cool waters and clear skies were my companions and my teachers. My identity and titles were wrought by solo camping trips and hunting kills, growing my bush craft and taking others along with me. I knew who I was in the north woods of Wisconsin. Yet, as I bitterly learned, I was not immune from the rootlessness found in the modern world. At the age of 15, I was torn away from the land I loved to follow the people I loved.
I cannot bemoan my new home. The Appalachian's of Western North Carolina offer their own rich history, most of it even older than my homeland. The misty creeks and white water rivers which cut harsh channels between the rising folds of green earth are a wonder to behold and a friendship to be cherished. Indeed, perhaps it is only through the new adventures and unknown wilderness that I was able to survive my sudden uproot. Unlike hostas or rhubarb, my ability to survive a transplant is limited. It is true, the miracle, and often fetter, of modern transportation has granted me occasional returns to the Great Lakes. Yet, my family's relocation so mercilessly and utterly separated my boyhood from my manhood that short visits only aggravated the wound.
Ten long years will do many things. I have a new home now, the misty hollers, clear cricks, old mountain culture - so hidden in this ancient earthly ripple - have become precious and sacred to me. Yet the price to become fond of a new land is often the forsaking of the old.
It is here that your video found me. After years of suffocation, the coals of my boyish desire for adventure and exploration into the northern wilderness where I was raised were all but extinguished. Now, as gasoline a dying flame - burning hot but brief, I was transported back to the land I called home and the desires which I had. Canoeing the greatest Lake on our planet was my dream, yet unrealized. Thank you for taking me along, it was a journey I did from my office. For it was more soothing than a physical breath of fresh air.
Now I know what I must do, and the plans are in the works to canoe the north shore of Lake Superior, come hell or high water.
That night sky at the end was unreal.
The Superior coast is a geologists wet dream, not just for the type of rock, but for the incredible formations. I have spent 30+ years mostly between the Soo and Wawa and I continue to find new places and wonders every outing. I still enjoy exploring the interior, but it rarely inspires as much as the big lake. My kids would ask me occasionally about my religious beliefs and my response has always been "Superior is my church". They grew to understand this more with age and had more exposure to Superior. I only hope I have enough good years left in me to show them more.
Thanks Jonthar of the Cave people! I really enjoy watching your sense of adventure in action and the reverence you hold for this powerful land.
Hahah thanks so much ET. Praise almighty Superior 🙏 Nature is my religion, science my bible, and Superior the holy Vatican.
