By admin On February 5, 2011 · Leave a Comment

A Day in the Life of a Loon

By admin On July 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I spent the better part of the morning today watching the loon family who nested on the island in front of my camp.  The two adults swam, always at a distance from each other while two little loons followed closely behind on of the adults.  The lake was quiet and from shore I could easily [...]

Fireworks on the 4th: Best kept ashore?

By admin On July 1, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Fireworks on the 4th of July are a longstanding and grand tradition.  But mix these lively entertaining explosives with a lake water and the result is less than celebratory.  Along with the paper trash left over from a spent rocket are the residues and traces of many different chemicals including metals and phosphorous.  Phosphorus can [...]
