Barker Horn Ringtone
If you would like to make the Barker Horn your Ringtone (crazy) here are the files.
I have never added a ringtone, you will have to find what works for your device on the internet.
Good luck!
Warning-this may get peoples attention, but, not everyone is a boat nerd and may react differently!
IPhone:
Save this Barker Horn File m4r file to your phone.
Android
Save the Barker Horn File mp3 to your device and create Ringtone

James R Barker arrived Duluth 12/28/2017 - 4X speed
James R Barker arrived Duluth this morning to load iron pellets. The Barker had been stuck in ice on the St Mary's River for a bit.
The Barker's horn was not working, so I added it from a previous arrival. (love that horn)
Boats backup!
The boats are backed up now due to harbor ice and slow loading due to extreme cold. Not unusual for an early onset of January weather.

Two Harbors - Christian Dalbec
Christian Dalbec - What a beautiful sunrise today. The air was -18.4°f and the lake was making ice on the surface. I was thinking about coffee so I made my rounds and got back inside next to the radiator.

Camera Cold Weather Operation
FYI,
With arctic temperatures moving in by the weekend, the cameras may experience occasional cold weather shutdowns to protect their electronics, intermittent operation, and frosted lenses.
While I expect these mainly to be in the overnight hours, with a high of -5F by Christmas day, there may be other issues.
I plan on running the cams straight through the offseason the best I can.
That said, some of the most beautiful scenes of the year will occur when the temperatures are below zero, so, hope for the best.
