WEB Cams

[yeffy]

Hi John,

I am wondering about all of the Cam sites that have old views or are not working at all. I can only imagine that to monitor everything on this great site must be a huge task and assume it is the responsibility of the "CAM Owners" to keep things going, but am wondering if there is any process or policy for keeping the cams current?

Thanks for all of your hard work in providing this site to snow nuts like myself.

Some cams just go down for the warm months and other are gone for good.

What I usually do is wait for the snow to start piling up and then do an audit of the NCN cams. Any that are not updating once the snow is down get yanked.

By the way, most of the pieces for the new trail cam setup have arrived (just waiting for the cam!), so hopefully in the next week or so it will be up and going.

You should check the updated listing too. You may get "Nash"ed

"A new NCN cam in Gayloard, MI"

What cams have new websites? I tried Sinclair and it is dead. The Antlers Lodge has the images I am using and they are old. Waiting to see if they update, otherwise will go bye-bye.

I have tried to get permission to use the images from the Albany Lodge near the snowies, but have not received permission. Anyone know anyone out there, have them contact me.

They changed the formatting of the images, so I could not pull them into my site anymore.

It was fun to watch them pass through.

Did you ever find out if Crams General Store in Big Bay, Mi would let you link their cam to the site?

I have not. Did not know about it.

Do you know someone that can give me permission, or should I inquire?

I think you should inquire. It's pretty much a regular stop for me when I am sledding in the UP. I guess if you put it in perspective the other cam in Big Bay is the Big Bay Motel which is right next door.

 

[jd]

Thanks.

I will drop them a line.

In my opinion, more cams = better.

snoduke-

Which cam "near Eagle River" are you talking about? I have checked them out and all seem to be updating.

May want to remove the cam in Mass City that was in Chances. Not sure if the Kessler guys intend on getting it back up and running. Maybe Matt or TK will chime in.

John;

It is the one on lower left.
