Cory Fechner sent out this drone video today of Five Mile Rock, east of Grand Marais.
“There is urban legend that three guys were stranded on the rock for four days in the early 1900’s when their boat struck the rock and sank,” says. “It is said they enjoy their time on the rock and didn’t want to leave when a passing boat finally rescued them.”
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
