The Chris McCandless thing reminds me of a post I saw on imgur one time. A young girl was on a school trip (or something) to Chicago and she decided to rent an inflatable raft and just paddle herself out to the middle of loving Lake Michigan and admire the Chicago skyline and read her book... and post about how magical it all is on imgur, naturally. Another imgur person saw it and took her kayak out there to rescue her dumb rear end because the sun was setting and she was a mile out and couldn't paddle herself back in. Could have been bullshit, though. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Just recently some loving knob on a jet ski tried to get to Isle Royale in Lake Superior from Grand Portage, about 20 miles. Got lost in some fog and ended up in the middle of largest lake in the world with no gas. If he didn't have a phone on him he would've died, no doubt. Lake Superior is not a friendly lake.

People don't tend to realize just how loving big lakes can be until they get out into the middle one. Even little ones can be deceptively huge.

ToxicSlurpee posted:People don't tend to realize just how loving big lakes can be until they get out into the middle one. Even little ones can be deceptively huge. It's true. You can easily lose sight of the shore out there. And I'm not too familiar with other big lakes, but I know that on sunny summer days way up on the North Shore of Superior, a thick, heavy fog can just appear out of nowhere. One minute you're admiring the beautiful view, the next you can't see more than 100 feet in any direction. It's not really a secret either, so I gotta imagine this guy had no idea what he was doing.

he is from alexandria, virginia which is a literal bog where if you end up on the water it is approximately 6 inches to the closest shore

I rented a tiny motorboat on Lake Minnewanka up here, they said we had a full tank of gas and believed them, were given a time frame of how long it will last. We didn't have a full tank. We ran out in the middle of the lake and all we had was a single emergency paddle which doesn't do much to move a boat with 3 adults in it. We ended up rescued and rowed back after a different person also ran out of gas even farther out, who had reception and was able to call the boathouse. They told us when we returned that the other lady saw us being rescued first and called back FURIOUS. How does she know we didn't call? She didn't. It was really funny.

Lake Superior is no loving joke. I've backpacked isle royale and it takes 40 min by seaplane to get there form michigan. It's bigger than places called "seas." I also once camped on manitou island in lake Michigan and on one of the days we had a steady 30mph wind all day and the waves were like the ocean.

I was born in Australia and I know for a fact that one step to getting citizenship (outside of being a beer-drinking white-supremacist) is being offered a live-rabbit from the interviewer, and then twisting it's head off with your bare hands.

Going to Cedar Point is fun because it’s on a small, very shallow island on Lake Erie. At night the parking lot looks like it’s surrounded by a black void.

That's the dumbest thing ever. Just look at the water on the North Shore when you're there. It is not to be trusted. Huge swells. Superior is not to be trusted. Swim out a few hundred feet and then you'll realize you're in an inland sea and nothing makes sense any more. It all seems nice until you pass the break water. Suddenly you have 10 foot swells on a windless day because of waves from the ore boats. My brother and I nearly drowned from the wake from an ore boat over the horizon. The water was glass until the swells hit. It was a bitch to get back to shore. We were getting tumbled. That was around the Temperance River (Tofte). 10 minutes later it was glass again. Now you want to haul rear end to Isle Royale on a mid-life crisis machine? Good luck with that. It's all fun and games until someone loses a penis.
