    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The largest tug on the Great Lakes was in the local Port Weller Dry Docks for paint and polish.
With barge it tops out at 1000 feet. The Welland Canal where i live can only support 730 feet so it spends most of its time on Lake Superior.

Can't say I've seen a tug of quite that design. Wouldn't want to be in a big sea without being locked into the barge.... Cause without the barge that thing is going to roll big time ......

It was re discovered after a bad flood in 1937, It had been under several feet of mud at the bottom of the Mississippi River. The state park was built with CCC/WPA labor with the Anchor and chain and several cannons as the focus.
 
a pelican.
Not suppose to be in Michigan.
Summer in mid Canada, and migrate through central plaain states to gulf states for winter.

I have been back a few times.
Is one pelican in with a bunch of swans.
Word has got out on birder sites, and local face book groups.
So lots of photographers and birders there. Have been some great pics from folks out in boats.

Maybe the pelican identifies as a swan.
