  • Wild Kyle and I head to Rockport for fossil hunting, sinkhole exploring, and even a little time on the beach. Rockport has it all!
    Here's a picture of the caisson I mentioned in the video: uplink.nmu.edu/islandora/obje...

    Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too.

    Super interesting video. I gotta plan the trip up there. I'm from Indiana and I tend to spend most my "Up North time" in the UP.
    I think I would be a little freaked out hiking around sinkhole areas, even though those are "old ones." I already get enough flack from my daughter about my solo MI trips to hound remote beaches. I have quit telling her when I am heading out to hike in new woods - lol.
    Kyle, I said a prayer for the best possible outcome for your mom, and I added her to my prayer list for complete healing. I put her down as "Kyle's mom from MI." ☺️ No need to know her name; God remembers all intentions!

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kyle's mom has been on my prayer list for months, since I first heard that she was sick. Thanks for adding her to yours too.
      I really like the U.P. I'm more into agates and other "pretty rocks" than fossils. If you like fossils, Alpena is a great place to visit. Add Partridge Point to your list of spots to check out if you come here. Sytek park isn't bad either.

      Someone else identified that flower as Lobelia Kalmii, which grows between cracks in limestone rocks according to this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobelia_kalmii
      I went back to my video, but it's hard to tell which it is because the flowers weren't fully open and they were blowing around. I wish I had taken some still photos.

    I loved the “Brachiopods, It’s a Michigan thing.” Yes. I found mine on the railroad tracks that ran the borderlines of Hamtramck and Highland Park. Hundreds of beautiful whole specimens that were whole and mostly clean. I’d carry a dozen home each time we snuck onto the tracks, then had to keep quiet about them as Mom would know where I’d been.

      Thank you for the prayers, Dan.
      You're getting your big Petoskeys from a different quarry on the west side of the state. I'll bet that makes a difference. I polished a big one from the LaFarge quarry which isn't too far away from here and it turned out pretty bad too. I'm sure there are some good ones mixed in, but after spending too much time for disappointing results, I have given up on quarry rocks from Rockport.

    Will be saying a prayer for Kyle’s Mom. Hope his visit provides her with the comfort she needs right now and that her treatment(s) will be helpful. That looks like a huge...... quarry. The sinkholes are so interesting. I do love rocks, a lot - but I love flowers even more. :) I think the flower you asked about is Lobelia Kalmii. It actually grows all the way up into Ontario. It was hard to see the stems but this plant has a long, slender stem, flower on the end, with linear leaves. The rocks provide protection and warmth and I can see it blooming into September in that location. It does like rocky areas and that is definitely rocky. Hope all is well with you and your family Rob. Thanks for sharing. You and Kyle make a great team.

      We managed to not die. It would be easy to get hurt there though. There was a high school kid in Alpena who fell into a sinkhole and got seriously injured. There was a group at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center (Phelps Collins) training to do just this sort of rescue. While they were lifting the boy out of the sinkhole, they disturbed a bee hive and he also got stung. I think the probably learned his lesson that day.

My son really enjoys biking there. There's a trail that goes along the top of the back of the quarry. I'd love to get a shot of my son riding along there from a drone flying over the quarry so that you could see that he was going along the top of a cliff. I think the sinkholes would look great from a drone too.

    Hey Rob thanks for another interesting video. It's definitely neat that so many plants have colonized that degraded landscape, and I think that the flowers you mentioned at 4:10 are a species of fringed gentian. I can't tell exactly but my guess is that they're something in the genus Gentianopsis. Very cool!

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  ปีที่แล้ว

      You're the third person to attempt to identify that flower. I know it's hard to do from my video with it blowing around and not very clear. You're the second to identify it as fringed gentian. The other one was Lobelia Kalmii, which is interesting because according to wikipedia, it grows in cracks in limestone rocks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobelia_kalmii
