Camera Update!

11:30 AM 2/17/2014 - The two Visitor Center cameras (Canal Cam and Bridge Cam) remain down due to an internet connection issue.  I will be meeting a cable technician  Wednesday afternoon to try and resolve the problem.

I will keep you posted.

If anyone using Internet Explorer browser continues to have problems with error loading messages on thos page, please comment to this post.  I have changed some page scripting that may help. Even though I don't really know what I am doing.

Camera Pages Change

FYI, there are some folks having trouble accessing this page due to some programming code.

In an effort to troubleshoot this issue, I have temporarily removed the thumbnail links on the right column.

Note that all of the cameras are still accessible through the camera text links on the right column.

I will continue to work on this issue and hope it is not too much of an inconvenience.

Hopefully I will have the bugs worked out by opening shipping in a few weeks.

Ice fishing on the Big Lake.

Now that the ice on Lake Superior is thickening up--Ice Fishermen are venturing out onto the big lake for the "Big Catch".
I sent the little photocopter up to take a quick look around. The fishermen are congregating off 21st Ave East, at least until the ice get's thicker further up the shore.

Visitor Center cameras off line until Tuesday

The two cameras at the Maritime Visitor Center are off line due to an internet connection issue.  Because of the Presidents Day Holiday, I won't be able to get the cameras going until Tuesday.

Sorry,
Den

In case you didn't get any roses today!
