The gate is open! Each spring I wait to see when the gate is open at Lake Superior by the Duluth Harbor. In the winter months and also when the weather is really windy the gates are closed.
No, I'm not up in Duluth. But I can watch on the webcam at Lake Superior Marine Museum. You can watch boats come and go, too. Go to their website http://www.lsmma.com and then click on "Visit Our Web Cam" on the left side. Then click to get a larger view.
The photo I took is of the Alpena arriving on November 7, 2005 at 1:30 in the afternoon. You can see the green gate in the photo. Soon that snow that you see on the webcam will melt and more and more people will line up to watch the boat traffic.
