Reply to comment by the_doc257 in Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Minnesota. (2400 x 3600) [OC] by older_dutch
Same here, a week, 6 people, 3 canoes, none of us wanted to leave, lived on walleye and potatoes, got separated, didn't care, we all found our way back, lots of moose, don't go near them if they're eating or just finished, they'll try to kill you, it's their food, as they see it.
SirGlenn t1_iz2zkkp wrote
I spent a week in there, with friends, 30+ years ago, I think we had 4 canoes 2 people to canoe, it's so beautiful, almost untouched by man. By end of day two, we were so engrossed with all the natural beauty it was basically: society? What society? Were the only society here! The Forest Service warned us, do not go into a moose's feeding area, they will use force to make you go away, and they are much bigger in real life than pictures, and if you cross them, people have been seriously hurt, several killed through the years, So, let the moose dine in privacy, and go catch a big walleye instead. Only so many people are allowed in on any day or week, it's a very popular place, get your entry permits early as possible, or you'll end up on next year's list. But it's a huge chunk of land, In my week up there, I only saw 2 other canoes the whole time, other than my group's. You can canoe right into Canada, no fences, no border lines.

Reply to comment by bleachedsharkfur in Egypt to add 1.1 GW in solar, wind power with cheapest rates in Africa by darth_nadoma
India, a bit in the U.S. and a few other places are realizing the potential of covering water canals with a metal cover, solar panels on top, the cooling effect from the evaporating keeps the panel temperatures about seven degrees cooler than the surrounding land scape, which allows more power to be had from the panels on top.

We have plenty of flat hot desert landscape in the U.S. politics and greed is why the U.S. is so far behind in it's solar energy, when it should be at least in the top 5? several countries are occasionally reporting: "all the electricity used today, was solar or wind power"

My dog and myself were stalked by a mountain lion up there, while trout fishing, it was not fun or exciting, it was very scary both for me, and the dog, the lion was on his turf, and was just waiting for me or the dog to make one mistake and he'd pounce. I held my fishing pole out between myself and the lion, and with the lion 20 feet away, my shaking hands managed to get the key in the hole in the door, as me and the dog leaped in the door with me slamming it on the lions face.

Reply to My Uncle Let Us Stay At His Cabin in Minnesota. Something is Stalking Us by HorrorJunkie123
Northern Minnesota/Canadian border is about as desolate as it gets. A moose in the spring is probably the most dangerous thing you could ever run into, they're starving after a long winter a Forest Service person told us, they will attack or kill you they're so ornery that time of year when food is scarce.

Reply to Signatures of alien technology could be how humanity first finds extraterrestrial life by WallStreetDoesntBet
One dark night, over Lake Superior, a large red object appeared in the sky, 10 or 12 smaller ones started rotating around the big light, them each flew away in different directions one at a time, then the large (mother ship?) Blasted away and in 2 seconds it was out of sight. My neighbor, a WWII flight camera man, shook his head and said, not from this planet!

They're very smart animals, maybe they enjoy it, they do have the ability to just swim away. My dog used to like playing fetch the ball, maybe 6 or 7 times, then he'd take it to a shady area and lay down.

Reply to How do fishes get into isolated inland lakes in the first place? and why don't we see more divergent evolution / speciation given the separation of each group of fishes from each other? by I-mean-Literally
I have friends who own a fish hatchery, you can't inspect every little minnow, every egg cluster in the river for even a couple "invasive species" birds and animals can even excrete eggs or recently hatched eggs from miles and miles away. Is every person exactly the same? No, some come from other places.

Where recently they had a 127 degree record temperature. An elderly couple died in their car that day, there is essentially no place to get out of the blistering heat there, if your car breaks down.
