This is an interesting article by Jeff Alexander of The Muskegon Chronicle detailing dropping water levels in the Great Lakes... not an issue I had heard of before. I hope to cruise at least a little of the Great Lakes someday, making the Great Circle route... guess we'll see how much they have changed by then (hopefully it won't be so long that they are the Great Puddles).

The Age of Schooners

This is is a nice site with lots of history and details of this Great Lakes area. Sponsored by the Department of the Interior and various Michigan State departments, it is well done and fun to explore.
