Coast Guard Copter

Milwaukee has had a Coast Guard station since 1867, and is currently located on Lake Michigan on the south side of town. Many days, you can see this Coast Guard helicopter patrolling the shore, its bright orange paint job (and relatively low flight path) easy to pick out.

Note: I'm headed to the Great North Woods for a couple days, and I may or may not have access to the internet. I guess we'll find out when I get there! Watch this space...
