Michigan Lights - St Joseph and New Buffalo

St Joseph range lights 9/18/2017 dwm photo New Buffalo is actually the first lighthouse after crossing from Indiana into Michigan, but as my former editors might remind me, that would bury the lead. St. Joseph deserves the top of the blog. When we found a place to park, I checked the electronic parking attendant. The only options were paying for a half-day or whole-day. The lot was nearly empty, and I wouldn't be there a half-hour, so I worked fast. My loss, I didn't walk the pier toward the lights. Joined on the beach by a guy with a metal detector, the second light caught my attention when it came into view. Together the two become range lights. In addition to identifying a safe harbor to boats on the water, the two offer specific instructions. Looking at the lights from the right angle, the lights of the front and lower light will line up exactly with the back, taller beacon. If the captain doesn't line up with the beams, the ship is off...

The Norske Nook

The original Norke Nook in Osseo, WI. 7/13/25 On the way home from Eau Claire Sunday, we stopped in Osseo for breakfast at Norske Nok At one point there were four Norske Nook restaurants. We're blessed in the Madison area to have one in nearby DeForest, the third location is in Rice Lake. The original, original location in Osseo was across the street. When the new restaurant was built in the 1990s, for a while they used both locations. An insurance client of mine while we lived in the area was the sister of the woman who founded Norske Nook. It was more than a place to take out-of-town guests, we liked taking the two boys there for a special treat. For a couple years, I took turns taking one of the boys to the Nook for breakfast. My parents loved Norske Nook. Dad would usually order a slice of sour cream raisin pie after breakfast. Sunday morning, there were three tables of men going home from a tournament in Eau Claire. They not only planned to eat a slice with breakfast, t...

My Fine Nine - Indiana's Covered Bridges

Westport Covered Bridge -- Decatur Co. 7/3/2010 (dwm) My list of favorite bridges is filled with a bunch of ties. Just to make it interesting, I chose 10% of Indiana's covered bridges for a fine nine . The Westport Covered Bridge was the covered bridge which started my search for all the bridges in the state. The Westport Bridge worked a good life, was demoted to foot traffic, then received a shot in the arm when locals restored it. They did very good work. Aqueduct Bridge, Franklin Co. 6/24/11 (dwm) It is the most unusual bridge ever... a bridge carrying water over water... the Aqueduct Covered Bridge . The bridge carries the Whitewater canal over Duck Creek. Mid 19th century the canal was the highway of choice - they were dug across states to connect one river to another. One of the reasons they didn't last long was they couldn't handle a lot of traffic. There was room for a few passengers or perhaps a small load of cargo....

David Mossner - They used to call me Pointdexter: I started the blog in 2012 as a place to write about some of my favorite subjects. It quickly became a habit (I posted daily for 3 full years) and a routine driven by pictures I take and areas of interest. I'm thankful you took the time to check out the page and hope you come again.
