Split Rock Lighthouse
There is a nice little blurb in the Duluth news today about preservation work done at Split Rock Lighthouse by Collaborative Design Group of Two Harbors. A Google search does not turn up a company by this name in Two Harbors. I did find a link to the work done by the Collaborative Design Group on Split Rock Lighthouse, but it leads to their Twin Cities location. I wonder if there is a Two Harbors branch that does not have a web presence? Maybe there’s more info in the Split Rock Lighthouse Weblog. Lee Radzak does an awesome job with it.

After looking at the menu for a while, I found myself gravitating more toward eating some real meat. I ordered a 10 oz. ribeye steak, medium rare. I was really pleased with it. The steak was not thick, but it was done perfectly and the BBQ sauce was really good. Price was $15.95 (I think) which felt like a bargain, especially considering that most of the pasta dishes are $13.95.

Mike acknowledges that they have had some issues with that site, (more…)

Kamloops Trout
The DNR has announced that they will be reducing operations at the French River Hatchery. hatchery. source I’m not much of a fisherman, so I don’t usually pay much attention to this, but I was surprised at the number of Kamloops that are stocked in Lake Superior each year. Approximately 92,500. That sounds like alot. It started me thinking about the ethics and value of stocking fish like this. (more…)
