| ....MOST BIG ENOUGH TO ENTER |
Friday, 8:00 AM. -4 degrees F, wind NW, gusty, wind chill considerable. The sky is clear at present, the humidity 75%, and the barometer steady, at 30.53". Hopefully the sunny skies will warm things up.
The Park Service has announced that the Apostle Islands ice caves at Myers Beach will open Saturday, February 28, if ice conditions remain stable. Last year was the first time since 2009 that the caves were accessible, and thousands of visitors hiked the several miles along the ice to reach them. The ice caves caused something of a media extravaganza last winter, and visitors from all over the country and the world came to Bayfield to visit them. Whether or not we would have the same reaction this year is anybody's guess.
If the caves do open this year, there will be a five dollar fee per visitor over sixteen charged to defray expenses (patrol, safety, emergency services, parking, portable toilets, etc.)
