Jeff Dennis and Fritz braved the elements recently on a calm Lake Superior day to go and check out the cliffs at Little Traverse Bay. In case you’re worried about the pair, Jeff told me that conditions have to be perfect for him and he stays right at the shore line, so if something did happen he’s in pretty shallow water. And just look at those walls of ice! Seeing that right there in front of you is quite an experience I would imagine. Just spectacular!

We had another dumping of snow this past weekend here in the Keweenaw, with some pretty cold temperatures and windchills, so this Keweenaw Snow Update courtesy of Visit Keweenaw from 12/11/2025 is a little out of date, but there are Snowmobile trails open and ready to ride. You can always get up-to-date information about the snowfall and trails on their webpage here: Keweenaw Snowfall Trail Conditions

Pretty gutsy pics
considering how cold
the water must be,
not to mention the
air temperature.
And I like the way
that Fritz is ducking
down behind the
bow of the kayak to
keep warm, no doubt.

Fritz gotta be cold...no doubt...those are
beautiful pictures...the ice pouring down...Won't
be long and those kayaks will be taking a break~

They are brave to kayak in that frigid water. And
yep, Fritz is smart enough to get some protection.
Such a smart puppy. The pictures are beautiful,
though.

Fantastic pics and very brave to say the least!! Way
to go Jeff & Fritz!! Nice video as well for those
who would like to get U.P. der and snowmobile and
support the local businesses. Get those steel belts
hummin on the asphalt and head to the Great White
North Country!! I'm so tempted to do so....
