Hi Roger Barker .... I hope you are well. It's 2 years today since Trix died, so she never heard of Covid. Seems to have been a long 2 years.
You take care.

It seems to me that most of the best cams have gone. I have them all in My Cams so I can still have a dollop of nostalgia from time to time. Some of the comments are priceless. :D
I would miss Opentopia if it disappeared altogether.

Hi MD,
I've only been checking Opentopis cams for a couple years, and have seen lots of nice cams disappear.
What I find puzzling is poor quality cams - blurred, boring, etc. Why onyone pays to keep them running seems strange.
A good example is the cam in White Mountains, Alaska. Their only "Claim to fame" is that it's the mandatory 24-hour layover checkpoint for mushers running the Iditarod race. Yet, they always show the same old boring view. On rare occassion the cam will pan down to view the mushers and their dog teams - much, much more interesting than the "standard" view.

Gordy ..... you would have enjoyed Opentopia when there were over 4,000 cams. Around the world in an armchair.

This is an interesting view, always lots of activity……
I came across this site out of curiosity. Back in the early 1960’s I was stationed at Grand Forks Air Force Base, and one of the technicians had a girlfriend in Devil’s Lake - so I thought “Why not check it out?”
