Sadly ironic that late in my life, and possibly late in the life of my species, I am craving and devouring knowledge of the natural world. Happily, I can still manage to educate an old brain cluttered with decades of propaganda and shitty TV sitcoms. It is such a joy to watch these videos and listen to such an enthusiastic teacher.
Whenever I'm stressed out I just think about geology. I think about the glaciers of North America of the last ice age, two miles thick, the deep subsonic sounds they made as they moved over the rocks, carving striations in the landscape. I think about the erratics suspended in ice coming silently to rest at odd angles in an endless spring. The way that you can see, and smell and feel the cold of that much ice, before you see it. The way you can hear it singing darkly in your soul...
@@johnc6228 Thanks for making me look into that! I think sp. is appropriate for whatʻs referenced in the video, but help me out if Iʻm wrong. Thanks again!
Man, I’m thinking this Lake Superior geology turned you into “a little kid in a candy store “. I know that it would do it to me. Really enjoy the botany/geology lesson here. Thanks!!!
this man is a treat. Imagine having a stroll with this guy, that'd be amazing, seeing the beauty through his eyes. I know a bit of botany and geology, but not near the level he has, i would learn so much! And the more you learn the more beuty you see.
I was about to be like "His name's Tony, ya basterd" but then I googled him and found out he has like 5 names. altaonline.com/joey-santore-oaklands-stealth-arborist/#:~:text=Tony%20Santoro%20is%20the%20online,rebuff%20to%20conventional%20nature%20documentaries.&text=JASON%20HENRY%20Santore%2C%20a%20resident,Botany%20is%20his%20passion.
Three hundred years old is a pretty good guess. Years ago, I pulled out one rock-bound cedar about 18 inches tall and and two inches in diameter at the base; I cut and polished the trunk and counted 258 growth rings. A white cedar on the Niagara escarpment is estimated to be 1890 years old.
I love your videos. Great info and perspective, but what is great is that it’s just you showing what interests you and not making ‘content’ for the undead algorithm. Blessings from the opposite shore of that lake 🙏
The black Rocks over at Presque Isle is always amazing in all weather. That's how they lose a few people off of them every year, got to see them in a storm... As far as taking the plunge goes, its just cold, even in August. Superior is a frigid bitch and she takes her toll. Winters are for drinking and fighting, obviously, just ask at the Wooden Nickle (It might be a college bar now, so maybe not). Club Mosses always get me going, and I love me some rattlesnake plantain, but for shear joy the Lady Slippers are my favorite. Bonus Bog Glory!
Lake Superior formed in a rift valley. So all basalt and igneous rocks are to be expected as lava came into the rift.. The rifting also exposed rocks from deep to the surface. Then the glaciars finished the job exposing all this and filled rift with water. High iron is common to the area you are standing, they still mine iron ore in Marquette which judging by the highway, you are near, I lived in the UP for several years. It's truely Michigan's great trreasure.
Thanks for the video. It looks like most of what grows there grows here in Maine. I do love anything that showcases one of my favorites, Comptonia. What a doll. I'd like to add the the smell of bruised Thuja occidentalis foliage is heavenly. The story of how it got the common name of 'Arborvitae' is pretty cool, as well.
Suggested video suggestion was correct. This is the content I am here for! I'm a big fan of the Upper Peninsula and now a big fan of your video series.
I think about Lake Superior almost every day, it's amazing. I botanized the Apostle islands last year. Incredible place. Also that Ringneck was yuge. That's as big as they get and it was a big one.
Very similar habitat to Nova Scotia, recognized most of the plants. Used to make tea from the young shoots of sweet fern, must try it again in the spring...
*sees CPBD upload alert* *drops everything to watch* The lakeshore is just gorgeous! Loved that little Solidago. :) Serpentine was pretty, think I may have seen some in northern california once . . . Love the Campanulas. :) You said concoidal fracture and I thought, that looks a lot like our Missouri chert . . . and I don't even know rocks very well :P (but I'm learning!) There's something impressive about seeing that level of industrial mass. Ringneck Snake
Thank you for doing Michigan. You are correct about the stunted trees. Along rocky outcrops, there are naturally occuring conifer bonsai trees that are three inches wide, and over 600 years old.
If you ever come back to the UP, find the Crystal Falls "humongous fungus" and the Lake Ellen kimberlites. Very rare, but keep an eye out for wild ginseng.
Say Ya! to the UP. F-ing love Lake Superior Geology. My pops was geology teacher up dere and used to take me on his field trips. Good stuff. Thanks for making the trip and the video.
Jewelweed will neutralize the urushiol and prevent the ass rash if you use it within a few hours of exposure but once the ass gets rashy it's too late.
I've always been more of a Raack guy than a plant guy (until seeing your channel), so I appreciate the occasional deviation into geology : ) Thanks for these excellent outdoor classes! I have also enjoyed eating the few wild mushrooms I'm sure are safe, so that was quite a bonus as well.
I could listen to this man talk about serpentinite all day. And I really appreciate the showcase of gaultheria procumbens and uva ursi in the wild, I'm trying to build a wishlist of plants that are a) native to this general region and b) potentially delicious
Maianthemum canadense, I've been looking at that plant every summer since I was a little kid, (more decades than I care to think) and never knew what it was until today. You just made my day. Thanks.
nice to see you like rocks, too, and are getting up norrh. you might want to check out the "driftless" region of WI/MN along the mississippi river. good railroads there, too
"Whaddya tink o dat?" I'll tell ya what I think---I am DELIGHTED to see some Northern Midwest vids! I have a number of those plants locally to me here, and remember many more from my stint in Ashland, WI. Nothing beats a good ol bog (sorry: BAHG)
I legit got so much more than i asked for 🤩 just looking for a treasure map to see what rocks are in my backyard but I was so surprised when he was speaking my language 🙌🙌 BTW Thank You 🙌🙌🙌 then you went from rocks (geology) to microbiology to botany weeee woooo what a ride! I’m loving it! I’ve been setting up for my garden for next year in the U.P. while cramming for finals for CPT 💭 if the town name means “high in the sky” you know I’m good 😊 High Fives all around everyone ✌️
Thanks for your sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I hope your videos and podcasts continue to reach more and more people. The human world is collapsing fast, devolving into a bleak hellscape. Botany, ecology and propagation has saved my life, I never thought I could learn about these topics without a fancy education. Thanks for showing shitheads like me that we are capable of learning about these things as well. Thank you so much.
Are you sure those were Drosera intermedia? I grow both Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera intermedia; D. rotundifolia usually has a rosette of leaves held very close to the ground, while D. intermedia has leaves that point upward. I'm pretty sure both are found from the midwest/great lakes across most of eastern North America. Out here in OR, we have D. rotundifolia, D. anglica, and a natural hybrid, D. x obovata; D. anglica has been mistaken for D. intermedia at least once due to the similarities between the two species.
Sweetfern is my favourite plant. I was surprised to hear you found it on Lake Superior. It's very common here in Nova Scotia, Canada. In addition to healing a rash from poison oak/ivy it can also ease the itch from mosquitoes and black flies. It also makes a pleasant tea (which can aid digestive issues like diarrhea). If you're super into rocks you should visit the Bay of Fundy (New Brunswick and Nova Scotia) we have the highest tides in the world. Makes for some wild geological formations. We have a UNESCO heritage site (Joggins, NS) awesome rocks!! Hope you're well.
I think you misidentified one mushroom at 29:10. To me it looks like craterellus lutescens but this is from a European perspective, they might be different in North America. It's quite similar to craterellus tubaeformis but it has a milder taste and smell. It also has rougher edges and is paler in color.
I was working with a friend the other day we came upon a problem and both went about solving the problem. We think so differently but there was only one answer so after going in different directions we ended in the same place. I told him it was Convergent Evolution. Man that part of eastern US is beautiful thanks for showing it to me.
Native michigander lmao but i adored this video as i do with nearly everything you upload! Incredible content you're a master at what you do.. jus fkn adventuring! I aspire 2 be successful as you with the scientific aspect of it but im already very in tune with the quite alive and important world around us and wish you visit whitehall michigan (southwestish) in the late spring theres a nature conservation with 100s of flowers that still appear wild its fucking incredible and a beautiful little town!! Definitely worth exploring!
Love those goodyera, I'm around georgia and there is a good amount of goodyera pubescens which have these real nice white veins, the Downy rattle snake plantain is the common, good widespread native orchid.
I've been heavily into Kosmographia... the Randall Carlson podcast. This geology attention is most appreciated on your channel. Truly useful info for an idiot like me.🤣 Thanks, well done sir!😁
I’ll admit, I’m more into geology than botany. There have been past videos where my eyes wander to the rawks rather than the plants. Sometime he cuts away too soon and I’m like “No! Wait!” lol
Hey there! Another good one. I have missed your vids of late and hope to catch up but at this time? 😞 As usual, your videos are fantastic! You and your doggies take care.🙋
I live on the lake and have no idea about any geology but I'd like to learn and this feels like a great introduction. Gonna spend the weekend looking at rocks and shit. I need some books to help identify
15:00 that's a lot of sheeting on the slopes. That jointing is from the same cause most likely. The best estimate is it's been under so much pressure from the (now non-existent) glaciers and ice sheets that's it's showing some isostatic rebound.
BTW: Don't jump into Lake Superior. You can get gasp drowning. The water is so cold that you have a gasp reflex as you submerge causing you to fill your lungs with water. You drown. Respect the lake it's no joke.
I watched this when it first came out but after getting into Joe Pera's show I wanted to revisit the Upper Peninsula Arc to remind myself just how interesting the geology is up there.
Those green lines between the pillow basalt are serpentonite in the first rock in the video. They are formed by geothermal vents in the bottom of the ocean.
Do you think wild low land blue berries would be a good cover crop for growing cannabis indoors with the help of mycorrhizae? Ik this isnt a cannabis video but I heard you talk about the mycorrhizal connection the blue berries have and they are local for me. Amazing channel and great informative videos!
Sadly ironic that late in my life, and possibly late in the life of my species, I am craving and devouring knowledge of the natural world. Happily, I can still manage to educate an old brain cluttered with decades of propaganda and shitty TV sitcoms. It is such a joy to watch these videos and listen to such an enthusiastic teacher.
I second that!

This episode has everything, geology, botany, mycology and crass rambling about kinky scientists. Love it.
Man, I’m thinking this Lake Superior geology turned you into “a little kid in a candy store “. I know that it would do it to me. Really enjoy the botany/geology lesson here. Thanks!!!
Dude, as a geologist at a university in the Twin Cities but that came from California and lived in Boston for a while, you are absolutely the BEST!!!

Cool to see you visiting this area -- I spend a lot of time in the great lakes area, lot of interesting stuff going on
Many beautiful rocks and plants😍
Gosh... that water is soooo blue! Beautiful!
I'm just cracking up and enjoying your enthusiasm. It's wonderful.
Three hundred years old is a pretty good guess. Years ago, I pulled out one rock-bound cedar about 18 inches tall and and two inches in diameter at the base; I cut and polished the trunk and counted 258 growth rings. A white cedar on the Niagara escarpment is estimated to be 1890 years old.
Those are the deepest striations that I have ever seen. Those are massive.
You need to visit Kelly’s Island on Lake Erie.

I appreciate the path you follow that somehow never fails to find life in all of its stages of growth and development.
Cool stuff. I liked the diversions to mushrooms and the bog. The symbiosis between fungi and trees is very fascinating.
Very similar habitat to Nova Scotia, recognized most of the plants. Used to make tea from the young shoots of sweet fern, must try it again in the spring...

I'm so jealous, I love bogs. I'm going to visit the one in London, Ontario as soon as lockdown is over. You should come up to Canada sometime
It’s a sweet little bog.
Loving the storytelling with the geology, takes me out of the anthropocene and god damn it i needed a break from it. Thanks a bunch
29:36 to 29,40 ''Just make sure you're not violating any laws, and if you are, don't get caught, alright''.
I’ve used Jewelweed, Impatiens capensis lots when younger for poison ivy.
And how well did it do nothing?
Jewelweed will neutralize the urushiol and prevent the ass rash if you use it within a few hours of exposure but once the ass gets rashy it's too late.

BTW: Don't jump into Lake Superior. You can get gasp drowning. The water is so cold that you have a gasp reflex as you submerge causing you to fill your lungs with water. You drown. Respect the lake it's no joke.
Your dog must be thinking "this guy, fucking staring at rocks and talking to himself again. Good thing I'm here to keep an eye on his crazy ass."
I live about a 10 min drive from the Okotoks Erratic--you should come on up!
thanks bud. dint get up to the UP eh, this summer. thisll have to do
Whoa you came to Minnesota? Sweet hope you had fun
I watched this when it first came out but after getting into Joe Pera's show I wanted to revisit the Upper Peninsula Arc to remind myself just how interesting the geology is up there.
Those green lines between the pillow basalt are serpentonite in the first rock in the video. They are formed by geothermal vents in the bottom of the ocean.
Another great video! Thanks!
At 40:40 the American Larch is (at least in Michigan) also known as the Tamarack
Nick Zentner out in Washington did a wonderful pod cast on serpentinite. Several shows on erratics.
I love your Midwest forest videos. Nothing against the southwest, but the vids are just more interesting with the higher density of plants all around.
I wonder if Sweet Fern would be suitable for a display in my pollinator garden..
The later part with forest and the bog looks really similar to Finland but I guess that makes sense since seem to be somewhat similar climate.
I love Campanula, I find so many on the moorland round here
Do you think wild low land blue berries would be a good cover crop for growing cannabis indoors with the help of mycorrhizae? Ik this isnt a cannabis video but I heard you talk about the mycorrhizal connection the blue berries have and they are local for me. Amazing channel and great informative videos!
Cladonia. ☺️ We used to call it reindeer moss.
How I love this guy...
