You know the wind is howlin' when these big boys won't come in shore ! 7 freighters have been anchored off Huron since Wednesday morning waiting for the winds to decrease. This southwest wind has dropped the water levels atleast 3 ft. off of Huron.

Excellent pictures. Is that last picture from the Conagra facility where they are putting in new launch ramps/parking lots...?
Those stacks look like the limestone place.
Lewzer,
The Con Agra facility would be to the right (south) of the stone piles if it was in the picture. I took the pictures from Lakefront Park just west of the Huron River. The freighters were still there this morning. Last night the freighters were all lit up, looked like Cedar Point out there ! :p I tried to take a pic but I cannot figure out the night picture setting on my digital (I will read the manual) and maybe I can get a pic of that tonight if they are still out there.

Thanks for the update Dawg ! ! !

That wouls explain why the Huron is so low at Mason Road. I have never seen river bottom there before. We will have to take a ride up to the pier to see the lights tonite.
