After visiting the easternmost point of the US, West Quoddy Head Light (you can see that video here if you missed it: https://youtu.be/0qQwQop_b34 ), we decided to check out some of the history of the easternmost town in the US – Lubec, Maine!

Not only is the downtown adorable, but they have one of the cutest Little Libraries we have ever seen on the road! We went into town to check out the Smokehouse Museum, and it was so much more than we could have imagined. The gentleman who showed us around worked at the smokehouse many years ago before it shut down and gave us a wonderful tour.

The artifacts left over were fascinating as were the stories of those who worked there and how this industry built up this tiny little town at the Eastern tip of Maine. Not only is Lubec known for its herring fishing and smokehouses, but it also boasts some pretty amazing history including the location that George Washington sent a naval officer to in order to stop trading across the border which was essentially the beginning of the US Coast Guard.

All of the rain and mist had us in the mood for some yummy comfort food. Corey shares how he makes his delicious beef stew, and we enjoyed it outside on our last night in Lubec.

The next morning we headed to Seaview Campground and Cabins in Eastport which is the easternmost city in Maine! The sun finally came out, and we shared about one of our Big Dots coming up this fall, The Lippert Getaway in West Yellowstone from Sept 19-23. All the information to register for the weekend is above!

Stay tuned for next week as we head into Eastport for one of the coolest Independence Day experiences we have ever had! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

The Sun Puts on a Happy Face for Halloween | Solar Storm Forecast 10.28.2022

TamithaSkov — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 19:16:48 +0000

This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
https://www.millersville.edu/swen
This week our Sun puts on a happy face as a set of coronal holes give us a whimsical image of a Jack-o-Lantern, just in time for Halloween. These coronal holes will be sending us some fast solar wind and could give us some decent aurora over the holiday weekend. Aurora photographers could see aurora dip down into mid-latitudes multiple times over the next several days. Outside this impending storm, amateur radio operators and GPS users should enjoy reasonably quiet conditions on Earth’s dayside with low risk for radio blackouts early this week. But things may begin to change around mid-week due to some activity on the Sun’s farside that will be rotating into view of Earth over the next few days. Noise on the radio bands will likely increase as we move into early November on Earth’s dayside. On Earth’s nightside, GPS users should remain vigilant anywhere near aurora and near dawn and dusk once the solar storm hits. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, when and where to see aurora, and find out what else our Sun has in store!

Two theories for an unsolved Soviet mystery

Vox — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 12:00:02 +0000

What killed 9 hikers in 1959?

In February 1959 a group of hikers disappeared in the remote Ural Mountains of Western Siberia. A search party found their tent weeks later, abandoned along with all of their equipment. Frozen bodies were found 1,500 meters away, mysteriously underdressed for the weather conditions: most weren’t wearing shoes or gloves, and some were just in their sleeping clothes. Even stranger, three of the hikers had suffered major internal trauma — broken ribs and a fractured skull — and two were wearing clothes contaminated with radioactive substances.

Nonetheless, the lead Soviet investigator closed the criminal case into the hikers’ deaths, concluding that an “overwhelming force” is what drove them from the tent. Theories ranging from rare weather events to conspiracy to UFOs have developed ever since, to explain what is now called the Dyatlov Pass incident. But two plausible theories, each involving an “overwhelming force” may finally explain what happened that night.

It could have been a delayed slab avalanche. The hikers dug a platform into the slope of Kholat Syakhl to pitch the tent, and a scientific model published in January 2021 demonstrates that this, combined with strong downslope winds that accumulated snow above the tent, triggered a deadly slab avalanche. This type of avalanche can occur even in places not known for avalanches and can cause injuries consistent with the ones some of the hikers sustained.

It also could have been a strong “katabatic wind,” a powerful wind that travels down a mountain slope, picking up speed under the force of gravity. In this scenario, a strong wind can become near-hurricane level very suddenly. If this happened the night of the incident, it could explain why the hikers would have abandoned their tent so quickly, as the powerful wind would potentially tear the tent apart. The mysterious internal injuries that some sustained are explained by a snow den the hikers dug for shelter collapsing on top of them.

Both theories offer potential solutions for what drove the hikers to suddenly abandon their tent, and why some were so severely injured. Ultimately though, since there were no survivors, many of the questions surrounding the case will likely never be answered.
