{"replyTo":"","text":"I spent 2 years on Lake Michigan while in the USCG. I can tell you, at the south end near Calumet city and Hammond, IN the water is green and brown. Once you hit Wilmette and go up to Michigan it is a beautiful blue. It is a little over 900 feet deep and I couldn't tell you the number of people I have pulled out of there. That thought big waves only happen on the ocean. I was in 18 foot waves in Lake Michigan in a 21 foot RHIB.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I saw on the learning channel a story about all the mysterious happenings on Lake Superior. There is an area that has more indecent then the Bermuda triangle.  That same documentary talked about the Edmund Fitzgerald. \nLake Superior / Lake Getchegumee\nIf  I'm remembering correctly they found the Edmund Fitzgerald,  they were planning a dive down to it.  They decided to leave everything alone. Treated it as a memorial. \n\nI live in Minnesota. took the kids up the north shore a couple times a summer. We always just love it..\n\na lot of the north shore was shaped by lava flows. \nbecause of that there are agates called Last Superior Agates. \n\nThere was a state park we use to go to all the time \nGooseberry Falls . it's where the gooseberry river dumps into the lake there are multiple falls the cool part is that they are so smooth that they are a natural wet slide. \n\nThen there is the boundary waters national park and canoe area that's the area that goes from Lake of the Woods to Lake Superior between Minnesota and Canada.  one word. Incredible. \nYou can't talk about Lake Superior  with out talking about the \"smelt run\" it truly an experience.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Thank you\nI was seeing a lot about just how rough the water could be. Especially in the winter. Hence lots and lots of vessels have gone down. Makes sense that there would be a lot of rescue attempts for people. There were references that basically Superior and Michigan can be every bit as rough as the Bearing sea. It is hard to imagine that on lakes, but it aslo proves the old point to never underestimate the power of flowing water. It can eat your lunch in a heartbeat and keep on rolling like you were never there\nThanks again for sharing your information and story. And thank you for being in the USCG and helping so many people","replyToPid":0}

There are mountains of information I still get to look through.\n\nThank you for sharing all of that, now I have even more good things to look for. I'm definitely going to have to get up there and just go explore...and enjoy a lot from the sounds of what several of you have said.\n\nThanks again!","replyToPid":0}
