Joseph Medill Chicago Fireboat in Escanaba, Michigan


The Chicago Fireboat Engine No. 37 was name in honor of Chicago mayor, and newspaper editor, Joseph Medill. The 92 foot long fireboat was launched in 1949, and designed to get under the bridges of downtown Chicago. The boat was retired from service sometimes after 1986 and is now sitting in a field overlooking Lake Michigan in Escanaba, Michigan. https://ift.tt/3kc427p

Princess Arch in the Daniel Boone National Forest - Red River Gorge - Slade, Kentucky



This natural arch was located in the Red River Gorge area of the Daniel Boone National Forest and was a quick 0.6 of a mile round trip to view. The elevation gain is 104 feet over the course of the trail, so be prepared for a slight uphill climb on the way back up to the parking lot. For another great view, I recommend taking the 2nd trail from the parking lot for a round trip on 0.7 of a mile to see Chimney Top Rock. These geological features are stunning to see in person!
