We Found GLOWING Rocks at Night while CAMPING Along Lake Superior in Michigan - Yooperlite Hunting

[@sharonromero128]

Just wanted to drop a line. I’m a rock enthusiast. I have been collecting rocks my whole life & to learn more about them & new rocks I didn’t know existed is really exciting. Wow! Sodalite. So cool! I would also like to commend both of you for a clean language video. Many people use curse or slang curse words as an everyday part of the way they speak & communicate. To me it is totally unacceptable. I really, really like the way you respect & care about nature, the animals you encounter & the environment; very refreshing. The moth was so beautiful. Pizza sandwich! Great idea. Grill cheese? Thanks so much for sharing the fun & rocks. Take care.

I can imagine a planet that has yooperlites and a natural UV light source that makes them glow, you just know it has to exist. Never thought rocks could be so interesting and cool, now I know, great video.

That moth is crazy beautiful, and was worth the whole video! BUT the yooperlites were outstanding! So glad you guys had such a great trip; thanks for sharing it with us!

Wow! The rocks are thrilling. I bred a family of rock lovers. The best of y’all’s videos are you two yourselves. What a forever kinda love. I appreciate your showing the world. What the world needs now! Is love sweet love! Y’all got it. And the moth and green frog? Super

[@RareGold]

You two are seriously adorable! I always smile and laugh at your silliness and antics! You two were made for each other and I wish you many years of happiness and adventures! Cris, you probably already know this, but it is rare to find a woman who is good behind the camera, in front of the camera, loves camping, rock hunting, animals and nature! All I have to say is you better put a ring on it! lol Just kidding! In all seriousness, I always enjoy your videos Cris, however, Bri brings out such a fun side of you and has such an amazing little giggle! Please keep doing what you are doing! The two people who gave this a thumbs down are idiots and don't know anything! lol Also, excellent nature shots and film editing!

[@valoriepickron2680]

Awesome video ya’ll! The fact that the moth took to you is definitely a sign that good things are coming your way!! That was so cool!! Also, the respect that you both show to Mother Nature and her creatures ( like saving the fire fly) warms my heart. People have forgotten all about what it means to have and show respect for others, including All of God’s creatures!! How cool is that to go night hunting for my favorite things.,,, Cool Rocks! Well, guys and gals, this video totally Rocked!! No pun intended… lol!!! Can’t wait to go on my first night hunt!! Be good ya’ll or be good at it!! Peace out!!

[@ReeMilne1212]

I love the UP! I travel there often! The storms are common. I had my tent poles crack during a wind storm there! A great spot to camp is Bayview Campground right on the lake. Reservations need to be made 6 months in advance to get a site! Too many super great places to camp & venture there! Copper Harbor is also fun... nevermind every place there or super! BTW we call the food you ate (pancakes, pizza) Mountain Pies here in PA!

It's bigger than I thought it would be! I love hearing that.

[@LindaSChastain]

Thank-you Cris and Bri for taking me with you. The photo of Northern Lights, Waterfall and Lightning were incredible. I'd never seen glowing rocks before but absolutely loved them. The only moth I'd seen that large was in Las Vegas at my grandparents. I'm so happy I found you two. God bless you both. Hugs from northern California.

AH... PURE MICHIGAN, my happy place UP north. Did you listen to the Dogman song...lol a little history for you, the Dog man started out as an April fools joke from the COUNRTY radio station WTCM in traverse city but became such a great part of Michigans Folk stories, its now usually played in October. Great pics of the lightening! Last year when we were camping up there my boys were sleeping in hammocks, but a storm rolled in and they moved to the tent.. lightening struck one of the trees the boys had been tied too🤪..... good thing they moved to a tent..we also had a bear about half mile from us..lol did you see any bears?

The upper peninsula near Grand Marais has the best rock beaches, but as Cris mentioned some of the beaches are in a national park area which forbids rock collecting. There are lots of beaches which you can roam, especially in the Keweenaw peninsula.

thanks for sharring...that black sand glitter is gold..thers lots of gold that gets pushed up on the superiors beach from volcanos years ago in the up..they call it placer gold...with a permit you can prospect it with a sluce box...sounds like another yooper trip for yall

[@sharronmainor]

So great! I never knew about glowing rocks. At first I thought it was maybe uranium deposits within but then, you found blue and red. And then, the theory of bioluminescent algae seeping into the pores of the rock and because those on the shores stayed wet, the algae lives. I want to know if they continue to glow after they dry out. I know I will be checking all my rocks with my black light now. I came for the rock video but, I am equally impressed with the frogs, bugs and moths you featured. The lightening was cool too. Also, your cooking features are helpful. Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable video! Kudos! 🙂🤩😍

[@gulfgypsy]

If anyone is interested in the beautiful moth that visited with Bri and Cris -- I think it's a Cecropia and the females can have up to a six inch wingspan -- Which is pretty darned impressive! Great, great video! Reminded me of the nice parts of living up in Minnesota --- The summer storms, rolling thunder - absolutely incredible light shows -- Northern Lights --- The summer storms up there are more impressive than down here in Florida ---- But no matter how warm the day up north --- You get more than mid calf deep in Lake Superior and it's freezing cold!
