The Great Lakes Information Network has this to say about the world’s largest lake:
The first French explorers approaching the great inland sea by way of the Ottawa River and Lake Huron referred to their discovery as le lac superieur. Properly translated, the expression means “Upper Lake,” that is, the lake above Lake Huron. Kitchi-gummi, a Chippewa Indian translation, signifies Great-water or Great-lake. A Jesuit name, Lac Tracy, was never officially adopted.
An Indian name for Lake Superior was “Kitchi gami” (or “Kitchi-gummi”).

Mike writes:
My days are filled with the hustle and bustle of a busy school building with 1200+ students. When I have the opportunity to relax, I enjoy going outside, spending time in nature taking pictures. It’s peaceful, I’m alone with my thoughts and my camera. You never know what you might find, what might be around the next corner. When I saw this shot, I took my time, set up my composition, and smiled.
Hope your life has a little recharge built into it.

Every month we post an event calendar on Absolute Michigan that highlights some events from all over the state of Michigan. Our Michigan March Event Calendar features music & entertainment including the Metro Times Blowout in Hamtramck, the Ann Arbor Film Festival and the Brew-Ski Festival in Harbor Springs, celebrations of spring like Foremost’s Butterflies Are Blooming in Grand Rapids, reminders that winter isn’t quite over including the Annual Great Bear Chase Ski Marathon in Calumet and (of course) the Detroit St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The Marquette Country waterfalls page says that:
The Dead River Falls cascades several feet and is viewed from a rock plateau next to the river. After viewing Reany Fall, and while parked at the power house parking lot, follow the power line by walking up the hill. About 300 ft. past the end of this hill is a section of aqueduct with painted words “falls” and an arrow pointing left. Follow the trail to the river about .4 of a mile (Note: trail is very steep).
