Where a road with a pipe-style water conduit used to be, a salmon-friendly cement culvert which will expose the creek and give it back its width. trees and a cloudy sky are visible beyond; on the right, the arm of a crane; in front/bottom of the image, tarpaulins with temporary piping come towards the viewer.

Tiger Shark 🦈

Crazy cool experience being in the water with this very large and curious Tiger Shark. It appeared out of nowhere, the Galapagos sharks retreated to the depths (seen in the background) and it made what I felt was a close pass below us before swimming off. It returned. few minutes later but kept a greater distance.

"At a certain point along the North Shore, Grand Marais-based community radio station WTIP (90.7 FM) comes in clear. Like so many public radio stations, it feels like picking up a friendly passenger and getting the scoop on a region, its passions and its soundscape."

'I'm dragging myself down as well': Family's Labour Day beach trip nearly ends in tragedy
What should have been a relaxing end to the Labour Day long weekend turned into a nearly catastrophic situation for a Charlottetown family on Monday, because of what is thought to have been a strong North Shore rip current or undertow.

THAT'S NOT BETTER

Outdoor conditions display again, cooled a little to 24.5°C, but 2.5nm smoke is up to 314 micrograms per cubnic meter, which is VERY unhealthy to everyone

Maps Release: Greater Northshore Bike Connector, MEGAMAP 2.0.2

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 2.0.2 – 4 August 2025 – is now available on github, as is MEGAMAP 2.0.2.

Mostly small updates again this time, but there’s one big one – the Redmond Central Connector final segment connecting to the East Rail Trail at NE 124th is already open! Ribbon cutting isn’t ’til September 12th, and I imagined it’d open early but I didn’t expect it to be this early.

ADDED: Redmond Central Connector extension up to Eastrail at NE 124th is open earlier than expected! (Both maps)
ADDED: Warning flag: the Pier 91 section of Elliot Bay Trail will close from 2 September to 2 October for repaving and rebuilding, including getting replacing that weird steep over-rail bridge. There WILL be a posted detour, but it’s kinda long and involves Magnolia Bridge, so I’m flagging it. (MEGAMAP only)
ADDED: A block-long half-dirt connector between Ashworth and Densmore continuing N 157th for pedestrians and bicyclists willing to deal with a dirt path (both maps)
ADDED: Extension of a Shoreline Trail Along the Rail fragment south of NE 185th all the way down to NE 180th; at previous check, it didn’t quite connect, and now it does (both maps)
CORRECTION: 10th Ave NE from 155th to 185th was listed as UNMARKED BUT POPULAR, but has sharrow markings, so will be re-marked as SHARROWS (both maps)

All permalinks continue to work.

If you enjoy these maps and feel like throwing some change at the tip jar, here’s my patreon. Patreon supports get things like pre-sliced printables of the Greater Northshore, and also the completely-uncompressed MEGAMAP, not that the .jpg has much compression in it because honestly it doesn’t.

Enjoy biking!
