Fall Colors?


Recommended Posts

I saw on the news tonight there are some pockets with decent color scattered from Mille Lacs on North. I was think of taking a drive from the cities this weekend. Anyone have any luck yet finding any and captured any images?

I found lots of bright maples in the Cook MN area, and I took a drive on MN highway 1 and the colors were incredible! then when I got near the big pond the colors became really subdued for some reason. I got quite a few pics on the road and will post them in a day or two.

The color along the North Shore itself is always later. Lake Superior keeps temps a bit warmer in fall than they are inland, delaying peak color along the lakeshore beneath the escarpment.

Up here around Ely, there is a ton of color. I think this weekend will be the peak, which I consider about a week earlier than average. But average doesn't really mean much. Each year is its own dog. This year the color is wonderful.

The colors here in PA are just starting to show themselves. Our cabin is 1 hr north of where we live and it colors there quicker than here. We'll be packing the dogs, camera and headed there in 2 weeks to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
