Three more names into the Pasty Camist's Hall of Fame: Marlin Wenberg in 2001 with Jacob's Falls, Taka Aoki in 2003 with Manganese, and Nate Alwine in 2007 with Sturgeon. I have many pleasant memories of pictures from each these gentlemen over the years. Thanks to UpperPeninsulaWaterfalls.com for today's video contribution.

As noted on yesterday's Pasty Cam, it has been just over a year since another contributor to this website passed away. In fact, she was one of the site's co-creators, Edie Hopper my dear wife. Thanks for your thoughtfulness with comments on the anniversary of Edie's passing. When a chapter of one's life closes, it does take a while to adjust to the new realities. I look forward to returning to the U.P. early next month, as my wintertime visit with my Mom in Alabama concludes. It's the first winter in 30 years that I've been away, and I've missed all the digging-out, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing each day (just to pick up the mail across town :o)

As I leave Alabama, I won't miss the tornados. A near-miss last night took off a sizeable chunk of my mother's tin roof, and we had a bucket brigade, dealing with a deluge through her kitchen ceiling. There was just enough daylight to tack up a temporary cover, but for awhile there, her kitchen was flowing almost as profusely as Jacob's Falls.

Thanks for stopping by the Pasty Cam. Have a good week :o)

The adventures never end, eh Charlie. Loved that excellent video.

LOVE the waterfalls! THANKS!

Can't imagine how much your Mom has enjoyed having you there this Winter, Charlie. A blessing to her, in part because of the sacrifice you made to be there. We never know the whole impact of our choices until we look back over the years. And i'm with you, i'll take snow over tornadoes any day!

Oh my but the video was spectacular!! Thanks!!

Alabama must have been a little nicer in the winter,
for sure. However, the tornadoes wouldn't be for me
either. Your mom will be lonely, I'm sure. Hope
they get her roof fixed.

Thanks for the waterfalls pictures also. Loved them
all. I can't remember the last time I was UP there
in the springtime to see Jacobs Falls running like
that. So it was fun to see the picture.

Waterfalls, waterfalls and more waterfalls. All the pictures and video were great this morning. One of my favorite's of nature. Thanks so much.

Charlie,

What a hard year this must have been for you. Sounds like your
being in Alabama was a real blessing for your mom. Lucky you're
so handy with impromptu fixes for things like a leaky roof. A
Yooper trait, for sure.

Travelling mercies as you wend your way back to the U.P.

Lovely, all of them, especially the video!

Great video, safe travels back to the Yoop Charlie!
