When you are supposed to be sleeping because you work night shift but your buddy just happens to message you about going on a spur of the moment random adventure...it is really hard to say NO! It is even harder to say NO when random adventures fuel your soul and that randomness includes the Minnesota North Shore (my happy place). The sacrifice of my sleep was well worth it to get a much needed soul recharge and see something I have never experienced on the North Shore before. It was cold, windy, and wet as the storms blew through tonight. 25mph winds created waves over 8ft tall. I'd have to say that it was only fitting for the weather to be as it was for the memorial lighting of Split Rock Lighthouse in memory of the sinking of Edmund Fitzgerald and the loss of her entire crew of 29 men on Lake Superior November 10, 1975 during a nasty November gale.
