January 26, 2002in the life of a child---------------------
Today's photo shows Jim Becks and his grandaughter Michaela with a very nice 14 inch 1.5 pound Perch! They caught the fish a hundred yards out from Dana's Lakeside Resort. We are enjoying a beautiful sunny day in the mid to upper 30's. We have had no significant snowfall for over a week. The Marquette Mining Journal is already printing articles on the ramifications of this winter's weather on the water levels of the Great Lakes this coming summer. According to the article, Lake Superior is currently 4 inches below normal, but Lake Michigan is in big trouble. They are predicting even more difficult boating conditions on Lake Michigan next summer. As yesterday's photo shows, there is no significant ice cover on the big lakes. Normally, the ice cover prevents water loss to evaporation, but that certainly is not the case this winter. New Slide Show!
